Avengers 4 Title: 8 Huge Predictions After The Russos' Teaser
8. Avengers: Forever
Marvel Comics
[Ewan Paterson]
Once you get past the idea of the follow-up to Infinity War having an obnoxious ‘4’ somewhere in its title, Avengers Forever sounds fantastic. It’s actually already the title of a somewhat overlooked storyline from the comics, wherein Rick Jones is forced to assemble Avengers from the past, the present and the future - hence the title, Avengers Forever.
The comic itself is well worth a read, and though the story itself has nothing to do with Infinity Gems, Gauntlets or Mad Titans, the thematic connotations of its title actually lend themselves well to the current predicament of the MCU post-snap. It’s also looking increasingly likely that Avengers 4 will boast a time-travel element.
If that is the case, and the surviving members find themselves hurtling through the time stream to find a way to defeat Thanos, then that’s just one similarity it’ll have with the comic. But, more importantly, Avengers Forever sounds defiant. What better way to rally half the universe, than to proclaim that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes genuinely are eternal?
WhatCulture's Managing Editor and Chief Reporter | Previously seen in Vice, Esquire, FourFourTwo, Sabotage Times, Loaded, The Set Pieces, and Mundial Magazine
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 written 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 Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
