5. Half Of The Avengers Will Perish By The End Of Part I
Well, here's a glum thought if ever there was one: half of the Avengers will die by the time Infinity War: Part I reaches the end credits, according to one theory. This particularly gruesome notion emerged due to several rumours that the Marvel Cinematic Universe's fourth phase will focus on a new pantheon of superheroes, which leaves little room for the pre-existing characters. Plus, do human characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye really have a chance against the galactic force that is Thanos? Consider for a moment that there are going to be 67 characters spread across the Infinity War movies; it makes sense that Marvel are going to use these films as a means of culling the superhero quota. The MCU has gotten to be pretty huge now, and it would stand to reason that the studio might want to kill off a bunch of characters - either because the actors playing them are done with the franchise, or to make way for new superheroes. As such, this theory doesn't seem as farfetched as it does a genuine possibility.
