9 Major Marvel Movie Events That Could Follow Avengers: Infinity War

The only thing we have to fear, is Fear Itself never making it to the big screen... because it would be a huge missed opportunity on Marvel Studios' part.

The 2011 crossover event focuses on Thor's homeworld of Asgard where a deity known as the Serpent has risen up with Odin and planet Earth in his crosshairs.

During the world-shattering story, seven celestial hammers fall to Earth and bestow tainted god-like powers on those who retrieve them. In the comics, it was the likes of Hulk, the Thing and the Juggernaut - and the results were as chaotic as they sound.

To tip the balance in the forces of good's favour, superheroes such as Iron Man and Spider-Man are kitted out with armour and weapons made from the same metal as Mjolnir; as if they weren't powerful enough already.

Fear Itself is something the MCU could build towards with its next line of films, with the hammers cropping up in post-credits scenes and finding their way into various characters' hands before the crossover binds everything together.
