Is this the title of ‘Avengers 4?’

Eagle-eyed fans discovered something over the weekend. They were checking out the resume page of Avengers 4 cinematographer Trent Opaloch and discovered he listed the second part of Avengers: Infinity War as Avengers: End Game. He has since updated this listing to Avengers 4 but it’s already gotten fans speculating. Some saying this refers to the scene in Infinity War where Doctor Strange has been looking for all the possible outcomes in the battle with Thanos to see if there was an ending where the Avengers win against him and he only finds one. He told Iron Man as he handed the Time Stone to Thanos that, “We’re in the end game now.” This possibly hints to that and that everything that’s happened is part of Doctors Strange’s plans.

But we won’t hold our breaths that this is right. As Comicbook.com has pointed out co-director Joe Russo has denied in an interview back in May that the film’s title would be based on a line of dialogue in Infinity War.

Elizabeth Olsen shares insights on how Marvel keeps its secrets

At a recent panel during ACE Comic Con, Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda Maximoff or Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, shared some behind the scenes info on Avengers: Infinity War and we got some insight on how MCU is able to keep its secrets, well, secret. One thing is they do shoots and reshoots at the same time. Olsen said “We kind of edit as we go. If they know that we have to reshoot something that was like two weeks ago. They are so on top of it. We were doing reshoots and shooting at the same time. We’d have these like splinter sets that they would build instead of building the whole location.” By doing these at almost the same time, it reduces the speculation about what exactly is happening during filming.

Another way the Russo Brothers were able to keep that big finale a secret was by only letting the actors know what was happening on the day of filming. Olsen said, “I found out from the Russos exactly what was going to happen, and it wasn’t until we shot it on that day we learned what the ending was. They took us into a van—all of us—we were in a van with air conditioning because it was very hot, and they told us how the movie was going to end, and no one knew. And they were like ‘Now we’re shooting it, Go!’ and we were like ‘How are we supposed to interpret that?’”

New ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ TV spot reminds us Scott Lang is an Avenger now

While we’re certain we won’t hear anything about the fate of the Avengers in Infinity War (this movie is set before all hell broke loose after all), it doesn’t mean we won’t be reminded that one of the main stars of this film is an Avenger now. At least that’s what Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) wants everyone around him to remember. This new Powers TV spot highlights more of the banter between Lang and his arguably more capable partner Hope van Dyne a.k.a. Wasp (Evangeline Lilly). We also get to see a bit of the film’s antagonist, Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) wreak a bit more havoc. Ant-Man and the Wasp is set for a release in the first week of July.

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ helps us remember the joy of watching MCU movies

It’s been weeks since Avengers: Infinity War came out and we’re still not over the devastation it caused. Thankfully, we have some sometimes pint-sized superheroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to cheer us up a bit. Ant-Man and the Wasp just released a new somewhat lighthearted trailer for the upcoming Marvel film. It shows Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) talking to Hope Pym a.k.a. Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) about how they can stop Ghost, the film’s villain. So before, Avengers 4 hits theatres next year, we have something funnier from MCU to tide us through. The film is coming out in July.
