*SPOILERS AHEAD*

Surprise surprise, it looks as though Avengers 4 - the once dubbed Infinity War Part II - is actually heavily connected to Infinity War.

The third Avengers film, which is out traumatising fans everywhere for a presumably record-breaking stint in theatres, has left more mysteries to solve than it has answered, and while the follow-up that'll provide those definite conclusions is still a year out, Infinity War's unresolved mysteries can still be explained in the here and now.

The film's most pressing mysteries (who lives, who dies, who ends up telling their story) have left fans everywhere with more headaches than they would probably care for. But this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe after all, a franchise built upon teases, easter eggs and the high-concept storytelling of Marvel Comics.

Whether or not that makes the film less impactful is up to each person who sees it, but that doesn't make Infinity War's cliffhangers, devastating moments or its many surprises any less intriguing. The status-quo has been snapped out of existence, and while we can't do anything to make the wait for next year any less excruciating, we can do our bit to assuage fears, and explain some of those pressing concerns every fan is likely to have.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and the Golden Age of Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled.
