3. Avengers: End Game

The Russos might have said there's no way that the film will be called End Game, but there's still a lot of evidence that it might well be.
The Twitter image obviously has a prominent A and E symbol, which could be what the Russos are telling us to "look hard" at, and some of the more... adventurous theorists have claimed that the image itself "reads" endgame. And of course, the title fits with both Doctor Strange AND Tony Stark using that phrase in past Avengers movies. If it's confirmed, that all looks like clever seeding, if not, it looks like a weird coincidence.
It might simply be that the Russos simply denied the title because someone guessed it and they were saving face to release the story on their own terms?
Crucially, in the same way Spider-Man: Homecoming used a title from an obscure comic and left the story alone (aside from a general narrative theme of post-traumatic come-down for Spidey), Endgame was actually an Avengers comic from 1969, which was primarily concerned with the heroes being teleported back in time. That would mirror Homecoming's title choice, absolutely, and it's hard to see past it.
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.
