Leaked Avengers 4 Art Shows New Team For The First Time
"We're getting the band back together."
Marvel fans may have to wait for both Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel before the follow-up to Infinity War comes around, but that hasn't stopped them from looking ahead to Avengers 4 with baited breath.
Set photos, spoilerific interviews and the sort have all been trawled through repeatedly over the past two or so months, but while they didn't necessarily show anything concrete (we can theorise endlessly as to what they do and don't mean), our first proper look at Avengers 4 has just arrived - via a promo art leak posted on Instagram.
Potential Spoilers For Avengers 4 Ahead...
Coming by way of Instagram user The Marvelous Fan (nice pun), the image shows Thor, Captain Marvel, Nebula, Iron Man, Rocket, Black Widow, Hulk, Steve Rogers (now in his Captain America identity), Hawkeye, War Machine and Ant-Man (and Wasp) assembling on what could - quite possibly - be the asteroid from Tony Stark's vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
That last part is all speculation of course, but the legitimacy of the image cannot be in doubt. It bears all the hallmarks of an official Marvel concept, and with Infinity War having teed up a confrontation between this particular group of heroes and Thanos himself in the wake of the Mad Titan's snap, the fact they're together makes plenty of sense.
More interesting, perhaps, is the outfit Hulk is wearing in the image. Fully suited up for what looks to be a galactic confrontation, could it be that Banner and the rage monster have finally decided to work together again - with the pair even sharing a conscious between them?
Whatever the case, it's certainly exciting. Renner's Barton is suited up with the Ronin boots spotted from those earlier set photos, War Machine's rocking a whole new look, and Captain Marvel looks stunning.
Still not over them getting rid of Cap's beard though...
What do you make of the promo art? Excited by the changes you've seen so far? Let us know in the comments below!
