How Captain Marvel Connects to Avengers: Infinity War
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most ambitious movie franchises in history.
The currently-untitled Avengers 4 features a cast made up of numerous key players in Infinity War – alongside newcomers like Brie Larson and Evangeline Lilly – and is scheduled to hit theaters on May 3, 2019.
The Marvel Studios boss also said that Captain Marvel, which will be Marvel Cinematic Universe’s 21st film but only the first female-led film, will deliver a hit of pure 90s nostalgia. So how is the movie?
But in terms of characters, in terms of broad storylines, or at the very least, in terms of the conceits for big storylines, like Civil War, like the Infinity Gauntlet.the comics are an incredible resource. Unusual shouts at the team, “What master do you serve?” and Star Lord rolls his eyes and asks, “Am I supposed to say Jesus?”. When Thor (Chris Hemsworth) crashes into the windshield of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Starlord (Chris Pratt) is instantly emasculated by the impressive God of Thunder. When the screen faded to black, I thought there must still be half an hour of fighting to go. Because you think, ‘Oh, he’s not reacting.
(Super vague ending spoiler follows!) The cliffhanger climax of Infinity War left the audience at my screening in a state that I can only describe with the most exhausted of critical clichés: They were stunned. You hope it’s cute, but you don’t know until people see it.
What has always worked well for Marvel still works very well in this movie. A piece of advice here – don’t go by the trailers. While Evans’s absence is excused – he’s in the middle of his debut Broadway run in Lobby Hero – Renner’s is much more mysterious, as he’s the only original Avenger who’s been missing from every bit of movie promo so far. With twists and turns that out-pace even the most avid Redditer, McFeely and Markus have written an intelligent, amusing and moving script that is the backbone to the film’s success. Have to say, hats off your fiendishly clever minds, Russo Brothers!
The first action set piece, in Greenwich Village, stands as a highlight of all the Marvel films, a witty world-outside-your-window dustup full of teamups, tech upgrades and a wizard fighting space aliens at high noon in Washington Square Park.
What might happen in Infinity War?
If you’ve managed to remain uninfected by “Avengers” fever and can’t tell an infinity stone from a kidney stone, here is a primer to catch you up to speed. And well, in case you didn’t know, they’re kind of a big deal.
Also the post credits scene is pretty important to the overall plot of Infinity War. He is proud yet pained, powerful and yet vulnerable; not someone who would kill for the sake of killing, and has no qualms in showing off his softer side.
In 2012, The Avengers premiered and the red carpet buzzed with excitement for the future of our six superheroes: Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. But Zoe Saldana, as the green-skinned Gamora, strides to the fore, as does Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch. For example, we get more of the not-quite-father-son relationship between Peter Parker and Tony. Eesh! So I was cautiously optimistic about the prospects of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) returning. But this was Age of Ultron part two, and it was MUCH better. It is different, hard to be executed and powerful.
The movie’s ending will be the major talking point.
She then describes the scene in hilarious fashion. I’m sure that will squeeze it. At the same time, it will also leave you super-excited for the upcoming Avengers 4 that will arrive in 2019.
“Infinity” is an interesting word for the Marvel machine, which sets much of its development pipeline a decade in advance.
– Certain characters feel underused.
