Avengers: Infinity War Character Predictions

avengers, Infinity War, marvel, marvel cinematic universe
With a rumoured 67 characters planned, Avengers Infinity War seems to be one of the biggest movie events of all time. But, who’s going to appear? Here are my predictions?

Of course, not all of these characters will appear. 67 major characters can’t be made up of pre-established characters, we’ll indeed have new characters we aren’t yet aware of who will play key roles in Phase Three. But for now, lets try and get a general idea of who can appear, as well as some characters who we could get easter eggs or cameos for, because not all the characters will get a tonne of screen-time. I can’t explain each characters reasonings because it would take forever to explain but these following 67 characters are characters who I reckon have a chance at appearing.

10 Characters The MCU Needs

cardiac, comic books, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, marvel, marvel cinematic universe, miss America, molten man, sentry, she-hulk, silver sable, spectrum, spider-gwen, squirrel girl
Hello! It’s taken me a while to write a new blog post, I’ve been busy working on my book! Check the Book tab for more details!

The other day, I was looking into the news of Squirrel Girl no longer being a mutant (see below), and connected it to what Marvel did with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the comics so they’d fit in the MCU, and then I realised that perhaps Squirrel Girl really is being set-up for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then, I went onto think about some characters that I’d quite like to see in the MCU (I’ve written another post for the DC Extended Universe ‘DCEU’ which will be out soon), and of course, I had to start with my dear…

Also, check out my phase four and phase five predictions for the MCU.

Squirrel Girl

She’s no longer a mutant, she’s defeated the likes of Doctor Doom, Wolverine, Deadpool, MODOK, Thanos, Bi-Beast, she even befriended Galuctus and stopped him from destroying Earth. She’s insanely powerful, and she’s perfect for some comic relief in the MCU. I mean, yeah, she’s got a bizarre name and some bizarre powers, but with her no longer being a mutant, it’s pretty clear she’s being set up for the MCU. I could possibly see her popping up in Jessica Jones, released November 20th on Netflix, however if that’s not the case I could definitely see either an animated series tied into the MCU (with live-action appearances down the line), or appearances in Infinity War p.2/Inhumans with a post-credits scene prior to these movies in Ant Man and The Wasp, Civil War or Guardians 2.0. I’d love it if Squirrel Girl were part of the last few standing members of the Avengers that take down Thanos in IW p.2, and I legitimately think this may in fact be the case.
Who I would cast: Sarah Hyland (a slightly more bad-ass, yet quirky Squirrel Girl)/Mae Whitman

Spider-Gwen

The issue with bringing in Spider-Gwen would be the multiverse, not interconnectivity within the films as we see now in Earth-199999, but the actual concept of Peter Parker wasn’t bitten, his dead girlfriend was instead. There have been talks of a Spider-Gwen movie, and it would be cool to see Tom Holland’s Peter Parker team up with Spider-Gwen (and maybe Miles Morales??) to save the world. However, as amazing as that would be, it probably won’t happen for a while, at least the MCU’s Spider-Man sequel, and even then, Spider-Gwen could only pop up in a post-credits and a simple name drop. 
Who I would cast: Elle Fanning

Captain Britain

Speaking of multiverses, each one has a Captain Britain (not the same one, of course) designated to protect the British Isles. The Captain Britain Corps. I feel perhaps Captain Britain could indeed have his own movie if they found a suitable plot that would fit in with the MCU (which would be a bit tricky). However, I feel Captain Britain would mostly work in Agents of Shield, and then moving into the movies. I feel Brian Braddock would fit in quite well in the general Avengers movie, specifically the Infinity War movies. We need some non-American Marvel heroes, we’re getting that with Scarlet Witch and technically Black Widow, Doctor Strange will be British too, but still, they feel a tad too-American (not Donald Trump American, don’t worry), and Captain Britain is genuinely bad-ass. 
Who I would cast: Martin Freeman Dan Stevens

Silver Sable

The thing about Silver Sable is that she’s just cool, despite her backstory (her hair turned silver after seeing her mother die). Silver Sablinova is an antihero, and the leader of the Wild Pack. Sable is a master of martial arts, a highly skilled marksman and a badass swordsman. She’s often associated with Spider Man, and with another Peter Parker reboot coming up, it’d be interesting to see some different characters pop up. Silver Sable also pops up in the Infinity War comics, and she’s paired up with the Punisher, Daredevil, Captain America, and Luke Cage. She’s also been associated with Misty Knight, who’s appearing in the Luke Cage Netflix series. Dare I say it, when Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow kicks the bucket (perhaps with all the current Avengers), perhaps we can get Silver Sable as a worthy replacement.
Who I would cast: Claire Holt

Miss America (America Chavez)

She’s got superhuman strength, she’s got superhuman durability, she can fly, heck she’s mastered inter-dimension transportation. America Chavez is bullet proof, flame proof and has superhuman speed. She’s badass as heck, and she’s a Latin-American badass LGBT teenager (which is incredibly important in terms of representation and diversity which is perhaps more needed in the MCU). While she doesn’t have enough to fuel her own movie, she could very well appear down the line, I could very well see her, along with the young avengers, pop up in a post-credits scene similar to how Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver did in CA: Winter Soldier, only to have starring roles in a few films later. Essentially, I’d love to see Miss America turn up leading the Young Avengers, helping out in one of the upcoming phase three movies, most likely either Ant Man and the Wasp, Civil War, Spider Man or Inhumans. 
Who I would cast: Antonia Thomas

Spectrum (Monica Rambeau)

Try to spot how connected this character is with MCU heroes, she’s perfect for the MCU.
Spectrum is a one-time leader of the Avengers, she’s gone by the alias Captain Marvel (upcoming movie with the Carol Danvers CM), and was introduced to the Avengers by Spider Man (Tom Holland). She then teamed up with Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Blade and Brother Voodoo. She was mentored by Captain America (Chris Evans) and the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly). Monica Rambeau is already so connected with the MCU that I’m actually quite surprised she hasn’t even been name dropped yet. Spectrum is hugely powerful and a genuinely interesting yet unappreciated character. I could imagine Monica appearing in Captain Marvel alongside Carol Danvers, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if she does. I mean, seriously, I’m shocked we haven’t had even a name drop considering we’ve even had a Man-Thing name drop. 
Who I would cast: Rutina Wesley

Sentry

Basically, insanely powerful Superman-like ex-drug addict with connections to Hulk, Iron Man and Spider Man. While I don’t think he’s got enough pull to earn a solo movie, Sentry (Robert Reynolds) does have an interesting back-story, albeit the aforementioned ex-drug (meth) addict background. His arch-nemesis… himself. Well, the Void, which is the other half of the personality, to be precise. Sentry is an interesting character, he can’t die unless he chooses too, he’s in a constant battle with his darker self, and has to contain his powers using his mental powers, meaning he’s constantly on the verge of becoming evil. While, as mentioned earlier, he doesn’t have the attention from fans to get his own movie, it would be interesting to see him join the Avengers at some point, especially if they decide not to go with the ‘crazy Scarlet Witch’ story to keep her as a pure and simple good hero, they could go with Sentry joining the Avengers then becoming oh so very bad. 
Who I would cast: Alexander Skarsgard

She-Hulk

If you’ve read my predictions for phase four and phase five, you’ll know that I predicted a She-Hulk movie (and a sequel), I honestly think that with Hulk seemingly out the picture by the time Infinity War ends, along with a few of the original core avengers (bye Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff), we’ll need a new green hero to smash some things up. Who better than the very much deserving She Hulk? Confession time: I think She-Hulk needs a movie much more than the Hulk, especially considering where the Hulk is now in MCU continuity. Let’s get some more badass female heroines in the MCU, with them repeatedly delaying the first female led movie Captain Marvel yet again. We need some She-Hulk, and soon. I mean, come on, she’s a green lawyer. She’s cool. 
Who I would cast: Jennifer Love-Hewitt/Anne Hathaway (seriously)

And… Molten Man and Cardiac
    Some fresh Spider Man villains so we don’t get another Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus. 
    Who I would cast: Greg Finley (MM) and Toby Stephens (C)
    Some other thoughts (which I didn’t include because I think it’s obvious they’ll be appearing in some form):
    Kamala Khan
    Spider Woman
    Adam Warlock (Magus casting call for Guardians 2 is a thing)
    Miles Morales
    Enchantress
    That’s all for now…
    Bye!

    PREDICTING MARVEL PHASE 5

    adam warlock, avengers, black panther, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, marvel, marvel cinematic universe, masters of evil, mcu, namor, nova, she-hulk, spider-woman, the wasp, wasp, young avengers
    Hello! Before you read this, feel free to check out my ranking of phase 2 of the MCU here, and additionally, feel free to check out my predictions for phase 4 of the MCU here. Despite Steven Spielberg’s recent comments about the declining state of superhero movies (a rather redundant statement considering his recent filmography bar a few), I truly believe that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is to stick around until the 5th or 6th phase, preferably the sixth, before a hiatus on Marvel movies and then an ultimate reboot of some kind, perhaps focusing on superheroes other than the front-runners of the MCU; Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and my predicted front-runners Captain Marvel, Spider-Woman, and Doctor Strange for the later phases. I would believe the rebooted MCU following the Marvel hiatus would focus on such heroes like Squirrel Girl (she’s actually pretty damn cool, she defeated Thanos/Deadpool/everyone), Miss America (America Chavez) and more, as they become seasoned heroes in the Marvel comics (baring in mind this reboot would come in the late 2020’s). 
    Obviously, I cannot fully predict the order of these films as I did with phase four as it’s so far in the future, so these following 10 predictions are in no particular order. 

    1. Namor

    I guess all I can really say for this is that it’s so deserving for the MCU and would be a fantastic response to the DCEU’s Aquaman, one issue though, despite Namor’s fantastic storylines and his snarky characteristics, he belongs to Universal. Please Universal, give Marvel the rights back 😦

    2. The Young Avengers

    America Chavez’s Miss America, Wiccan, Hulkling and co would make a great Young Avengers movie, especially because they all have such interesting backstories. I mean, Miss America is an LGBT Latin-American teenage female superhero, talk about diversity. It’s important and inspiring that the Young Avengers team is also the most diverse, it’s a great message for a young audience and thus something I’d like to see played out on the big screen. ‘It doesn’t matter who you are, it matters that you’re a hero’. 

    3. Adam Warlock

    I don’t believe that this would be an introduction movie to Adam Warlock, heck his cocoon has appeared in Guardians (confirmed by the director that it was indeed Adam Warlock), he was hinted at in Thor: The Dark World. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the character in phase three, especially involved in Guardians 2 and Infinity War, perhaps making a post credits appearance in Doctor Strange or Black Panther. Adam Warlock will be an established hero before his solo movie, similar to Spider-Man, as well as my predicted Spider-Woman appearances (see 5).

    4. Nova

    I would predict Nova for a few reasons, however an important one being that I doubt Tony Stark/Iron Man will be around for phase 4, let alone phase 5, and we need a character to fill that gap. Thus, we get Nova and the Nova Corps as a highly redeeming replacement. Nova, I predict, will be teased in phase 3 (a quick reference similar to Spider-Man’s reference in Ant Man), and will make a post-credits appearance in phase 4, only to lead onto become a mainstay of phase 5 of the MCU. A storyline similar to Annihilation would be preferable, however with the Guardians and Captain Marvel being long-established characters by the time of phase 5 I don’t see this happening.

    5. Spider-Woman

    If you’ve read my phase 4 predictions you will know that I’ve predicted Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman) to be one of the flagship heroes of Marvel’s later phases, making appearances in Captain Marvel 2 and co-leading the Avengers in Secret Invasion, so it’s only fair that she finally gets the movie she deserves in phase 5. Spider-Woman remains a fan favourite in the Marvel comics, despite recent controversy (seriously, just google ‘spider woman costume controversy’ to find out more), and has the perfect characteristics and story-lines to fit the MCU.

    6. Captain Marvel 3

    I feel this may be a definite, considering most MCU heroes have their own film trilogy (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America), and I feel Carol Danvers’ Captain Marvel is going to continue that trend. I would possibly expect a team up in this film between Captain Marvel and the hugely important Kamala Khan’s Ms. Marvel (expect Ms. Marvel to appear in a few films beforehand, such as the big Avengers movies, and possibly Young Avengers/Inhumans/Spider-Man). I would also expect this movie to be the Civil War of Phase 5, combining heroes of past and present (heck, how cool would it be to see a phase 1 hero pop up in phase 5).

    7. She-Hulk 2

    SHE HULK WAHEY. So, with the lack of Hulk movies in the MCU, and presumably Bruce Banner being long gone by phase 5, who else is going to continue the green rage other than Jennifer Walters’ She-Hulk? For this sequel, I’d expect appearances from the likes of Black Talon, The Headmen and the X-Humed. As well as appearances from other heroes like Spider-Man, and cameos from the Young Avengers and the Runaways.

    8. The Wasp

    While Hope Van Dyne (the MCU’s Wasp, with Janet Van Dyne being long gone) first appeared in the closing film of phase 2 Ant-Man, I do think that Wasp will be around for a while. The Wasp would be the comic relief of phase 5, as was Guardians/Ant Man with phase 2 and presumably Guardians 2 with phase 3. 

    9. Black Panther 2

    Black Panther would finally receive his sequel following his solo flick in phase three, and following the story of The Client, I would predict be told in a mysterious way that yet again redefines the superhero movie all those years away. Hopefully, the rights to Storm would be negotiated (depending on what happens to Fox’s X-MEN franchise in 10-15 years time), and we’d get a brief history on Storm and Black Panther, only to jump back to the mysterious story of Black Panther in New York.

    10. Avengers: Masters of Evil

    Perhaps bringing the MCU to an end, the big bads of MCU past and present unite to fight the Avengers (maybe for one last time depending on the possibility of phase six), we’d see a few major villain deaths, as well as a few major hero deaths, and if this were to end the MCU, the Avengers would of course win, only to disband for the final time once their job is done and the universe is safe once more, possibly hinting towards the potential of a ‘reboot’/extension of the MCU, with the cliché shot of the Avengers looking out into the distance on top of a building. Oh, the feels.
    Frontrunners for Marvel phase 5: Spider-Woman, Nova, Adam Warlock, She Hulk and Black Panther, with additional heroes such as Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, The Defenders and more. 
    That’s all for now.

    RANKING MARVEL PHASE 2

    age of ultron, ant man, avengers, captain america, guardians of the galaxy, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, iron man, iron man 3, marvel, marvel cinematic universe, the winter soldier, thor the dark world

    Hello! So, we’ve just concluded the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s second phase with Ant-Man, and we’re set to begin phase three with Captain America: Serpent Society  Civil War, which will end with Inhumans, following the two part Infinity War and solo movies for Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Black Panther. I recently posted my MCU phase four predictions, check it out here. We began phase two with the unfortunately popular Iron Man 3, continued with Thor: The Dark World which saw Jane Foster go all magic and cray cray on us, we then got the huge Captain America: The Winter Soldier, only for that to be followed by yet an even bigger Guardians of the Galaxy, we were then introduced to Quicksilver (sob), Scarlet Witch and Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and concluded with Ant-Man and were introduced to Wasp too, but more on that in my next blog post.

    6. Iron Man 3

    I mean, the best part of the movie wasn’t any of the Tony Stark scenes, it was Pepper Potts going all badass on us. The film essentially screwed up Mandarin, this is one of those films I don’t really talk about, much like Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk. BUT YOU GO PEPPER YOU GO. 

    5. Thor: The Dark World

    I actually quite liked this movie, I liked what they did with Jane Foster, as well as what they did with Loki towards the end. It just doesn’t really stand out though, not in the grand scheme of things. Phase two had some really brilliant movies, and I guess you can’t expect every movie in the phase to be just as good as each other. 

    4. Avengers: Age of Ultron

    Now, I was a bit disappointed because both CA:WS and Guardians before AoU were amazingly good, but the film is pretty darn good. Vision and Scarlet Witch have instantly become favourites of mine, We didn’t see much of Thor in the movie, he was busy building up to Ragnarok, which I was actually okay with. The villain was cool, and the focus on Hawkeye and Black Widow was even better, however the backlash against the Black Widow development kind of killed it for me because it was so unnecessary and overwhelming. 😦

    3. Ant-Man

    Paul Rudd makes a surprisingly awesome superhero, and the supporting cast completely made the film. While the production for this film was troubled and complicated, the end result was comedic, inspiring and actually quite moving (Scott and Cassie). Peggy Carter’s surprise appearance at the beginning was awesome, and a great way to connect the film to the MCU from the off-start, as well as a nod towards a soon-to=be MCU hero that’s a web-swinger or something.

    2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

    This was a difficult choice, because it deserves the top spot so much. The use of Black Widow was great, Falcon had a great introduction, and Bucky Barnes was a fantastic villain. This film redefined the superhero genre by not being an overt superhero movie, it was so much more than just a Marvel movie with a strong super, it was a thriller, it was a drama, it had the occasional comedy, it was a spy movie, and that’s why it completely deserved the critical acclaim that it received. 

    1. Guardians of the Galaxy 

    A truly eye-catching, visually stunning, cinematic masterpiece, Guardians of the Galaxy plays on the unexpected hero (as does every other film), but in a conventionally challenging way that blends surprisingly well with the Marvel universe. The villains are just as important, with Karen Gillan having a standout performance as Nebula, much different to her days as Amy Pond in Doctor Who. I teared up watching this film, seriously, because the cinematography inspired me and was simply so beautifully done that it really completes the film. 
    That’s all for now, check back on the 10th September for my predictions for the fifth phase of the MCU.

    PREDICTING MARVEL PHASE FOUR

    avengers, captain marvel, doctor strange, guardians of the galaxy, http://schemas.google.com/blogger/2008/kind#post, inhumans, jane foster, lady thor, marvel, marvel cinematic universe, phase 4, runaways, scarlet witch, she-hulk, spider-man, spiderman, vision
    Hello! So, we’re about to kick off phase three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Captain America: Civil War, featuring a huge amount of characters including, of course, Captain America, Iron Man, Ant Man, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Sharon Carter, and that’s just a few of the characters set to appear in the battle between Captain America and Iron Man because of the superhuman registration act. Following the huge Civil War, we get an array of films, these being Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Spider-Man, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War Part 1, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Infinity War Part 2, ending with Inhumans. This all takes place from 2016 to 2019, that’s three years for a huge amount of MCU, which is rather exciting. The big bosses behind Marvel Studios have reportedly already planned out the MCU’s Phase Four and Phase Five, so I’m here to predict Phase Four of the MCU, check back for my Phase Five predictions in September. For a reminder, here’s the MCU so far. 

    1. Kicking off Phase Four… Doctor Strange 2

    Looking at the first Doctor Strange movie released soon starring Benedict Cumberbatch, it’s set to introduce the MCU into the wonderful world of magic. We’ve had tastes of it before, but it’s ambiguous, with Thor 2 essentially confusing the lines between magic and alien science. I imagine Doctor Strange (1) will be origin, the story arc I’d like to see for Doctor Strange 2 is The Oath, featuring Rosario Dawson’s Night Nurse (Daredevil). This would be a huge way to kick off Phase Four, featuring a hero that I presume will become an instant fan-favourite. 

    2. Captain Marvel 2 

    The first Captain Marvel film will be a huge blockbuster, being the first female led Marvel movie. This movie would hopefully feature Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan), perhaps even a cameo leading onto Ms Marvel’s appearance in other Marvel movies if she hasn’t appeared prior to Captain Marvel 2. I predict The Enemy Within as the story line, featuring Captain America (Sam Wilson or Bucky Barnes), Black Widow and Spider Woman (Jessica Drew). In fact, it could even be the Civil War of Phase Four (ALL THE CAST MEMBERS). P.s. I predict Captain Marvel and Spider-Woman will be huge parts of phase four, especially the big Avengers film.

    3. Runaways

    This film would be huge in that it teaches children to be brave and be heroes, Runaways: Pride and Joy is a story about the six children witnessing their evil parents (The Pride) murder a girl in a sacrificial ceremony. It’s basically a super dark children vs parents. A great message. Such fun.  

    4. She-Hulk

    She-Hulk is a snarky female character that isn’t defined by her sexuality or gender. Heck, she’s a top lawyer, and she’s green. I personally believe Marvel needs to redirect it’s messages and campaigning to include a younger female audience, and a green female superhero lawyer would be a great extension to the work done by Captain Marvel 1 and 2 to appeal to female fans. With all the hysteria about Black Widow’s marketing (or perhaps lack of), following the female led debut of Captain Marvel in Phase Three, I’d like to see a whole lot of feminism in Phase Four. 

    5. Spider-Man 2

    Ultimate Six? Anybody? It would seem silly for there not to be a sequel in phase four to Spider-Man’s solo film in phase three, considering just how marketable the hero is. Perhaps the most iconic of Marvel. Now, bringing in the story arc of Ultimate Six, and we get Spider-Man, the Avengers, and a few Spider-Man villains like Electro and Green Goblin. Perhaps with some cameos from She-Hulk, Thor (see 7) and a few other heroes, and you get the Ultimate Spider Man movie (hint hint, maybe?).

    6. Guardians of the Galaxy 3.0

    Expect this to be a definite thing, with the addition of the pre-established Captain Marvel and perhaps either Mantis, Angela, Moondragon or Adam Warlock. I would predict a story resembling War of Kings or Annihilation. Basically, I’m not sure if this is more of a predicted film or one of those “it’s definitely happening but they just haven’t confirmed it”. 

    7. Thor 4 (The New Age)

    Following the events of Ragnarok in Phase Three, Hemsworth’s Thor will ‘die’ after being killed by Jormungand’s poison. Jane Foster, or perhaps another woman if Natalie Portman doesn’t renew her contract, will pick up the hammer and become Thor. I’m actually really fond of ‘Lady Thor’, she’s a reassuring and appealing counterpart to Odinson, the character is all about finding strength which is admirable and could be portrayed really well in the MCU. The only issue is who would play her, considering it seems Natalie Portman isn’t likely to be returning (except for Ragnarok, potentially). I could see Lady Sif as the most likely candidate, heck even Maria Hill. However, it would be hilarious (and kind of badass) to see Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) weild “myeuh-muh”, I could see any three characters pulling it off. 

    8. Vision and The Scarlet Witch

    We had hints towards a relationship between the two towards the end of Age of Ultron, while I do predict Scarlet Witch to appear somehow in Doctor Strange, I also believe there will be considerable development of the two in Civil War and Infinity War, however, there is the challenge of The Vision and the ‘mind stone’. However, as we know, Scarlet witch can do a bit of reality warping. Perhaps even bringing back a certain hero who died in Age of Ultron despite the actor’s multi-contract deal??? In the comic books, Vision and Scarlet Witch married and had children (magically, of course), however their relationship ends tragically (on both parts). This film could either pass as a Scarlet Witch or Vision solo movie, taking either one of their names as the title but featuring the relationship to a certain degree, I would also predict the supporting cast to be the likes of Evangeline Lilly as Wasp, Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye as well as cameos by Spider-Man, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel and more. Basically, this is the Avengers 4 prequel so to speak. However, I could also see other movies taking this spot in the Phase Four timeline, such as The Wasp, Ant Man 2, Black Panther 2 or an introduction movie to a new hero. At the end of this film, I would predict a hint towards both 9 and 10 in the post-credits scene. (HINT SKRULL HINT)

    9. Inhumans 2

    This would be the perfect lead up to my predicted Avengers 4 movie, which will close Phase Four of the MCU. Inhumans 2 would be an extension of the pre-established Inhumans story both at the hands of it’s film and Agents of SHIELD, but also I would predict it to be a continuation of Guardians 3, especially if they went down the War of Kings route, possibly moving towards Realm of Kings. At the end of the film, I would say that any one member of the Inhumans team is revealed to be a Skrull prisoner, leading into…

    10. The Avengers: The Secret Invasion

    Oh yes. The Secret Invasion. Throughout Phase Four, hints would be made towards the Skrull, ultimately leading to the fourth (or fifth if you’re counting Infinity War Part 1 and 2 as two and not one). We would discover that heroes we have learnt to love are secretly Skrull. The new avengers team consisting of Captain Marvel, Captain America, Spider Woman, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Vision (maybe), Scarlet Witch (again, maybe), Doctor Strange, alongside the Inhumans and the Guardians (potentially), Lady Thor would pop along and help the Avengers. This film would close four phases of the MCU, leading into a completely fresh style of MCU movies in Phase Five, with the movies I have predicted possibly getting sequels but introducing more solo movies. 

    The front runners of MCU’s Phase Four

    That’s all for now, check back in September for my Phase Five predictions, meanwhile on the 26th August I’ll be uploading a list of some bizarre crossovers we all secretly want to see. 
    Thanks for reading!
