10 Movie Spoilers For 2018 That We Already Know
Everything we shouldn't already know...
The upcoming year in cinema is sure to be a massive one. With entries from storied franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel, a great many long-anticipated blockbusters are now mere months away. And as with any highly anticipated film in our instant-news, digital era, these films have tried their best to keep a tight lid on any and all potential spoilers.
Inevitably, someone, somewhere is bound to slip up and reveal perhaps just a bit more than they meant to. And as deep as their regrets may be, it is too little too late, as the spoiler-ific news spreads like wildfire.
Whether it's candid set photos, interviews with an actor, or even the trailers for the films themselves, making it to theaters uninfluenced by some sort of leak is now pretty much impossible for big blockbuster productions.
Admirable though the attempts to keep everything under wraps has been, one way or another, word has gotten out, and we already know more than the filmmakers would probably like. So let's explore these spoilers together, and see exactly what's in store for us this year at the movies.
Also, SPOILER WARNING. Obviously.
10. Avengers: Infinity War - So Long To Xandar
Infinity War is more than just the third Avengers film, it and its currently untitled follow-up are essentially the culmination of the entire MCU. The long-teased big, purple baddie known as Thanos is scheduled to finally do more than sit in that chair of his and set to work collecting the Infinity Stones for his gauntlet.
In the first released trailer for the film, we're given an idea of exactly how powerful the big guy is, as well as just how successful the gem-hunting is going. One shot in-particular shows Thanos slotting the Space Stone into place. This stone comes from the Tesseract, which Loki stole at the end of Thor Ragnarok, and is an exchange we even see earlier in the trailer.
However, what is of note here is the only other stone we see on the gauntlet; the Power Stone. This purple stone was left in the hands of the Nova Corps on Xandar at the end of the first Guardians Of The Galaxy. Essentially, this can only mean bad things for Xandar.
Seeing as Kevin Feige himself recently teased that Thanos would perform unspeakable acts of horror in the first minutes of the film and that the opening shot of the trailer seems to show a foreign planet being obliterated, Xandar looks to be Thanos' first target.
