What To Expect...

7. Original Heroes

After the end of Infinity War, with Thanos snapping half the universe out of existence, there aren’t too many heroes left. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe though, so even wiping out 50% still leaves them with a deep roster, and most importantly the original Avengers. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Hulk.

It’s they who started this journey back in 2012, and they who are still standing now. Iron Man and Cap are the two most marketable anyway, but between all six it’s a powerhouse sextet. While the others left alive - Rocket, M’Baku, Okoye, Nebula, Shuri - will get a look in, we can expect the focus to be firmly on the original heroes. They’re the ones who have the most narrative weight to bear, not just in this movie but from across the entire MCU, and they’re the ones fans not only want to see, but are the most worried about. And with good reason.
