MCU Phase 4: 9 Insane Fan Theories You Won't Believe
9. Thanos Will Reset The Universe For Phase 4
Marvel Studios
Although Infinity War is the conflict on everyone's lips right now, it won't be long before Avengers 4 starts dominating online conversation.
In some ways it already has, in fact. The topic of the film's title (or lack thereof) has been subject to endless debate from right across the board, and while Marvel have been quick to downplay the secrecy surrounding it, one would suspect that the subtitle's being withheld for a reason.
We know for a fact that Infinity War is going to bring the pain (physically, emotionally - take your pick), and that it'll merely form but a part of the wider Infinity-arc the Russo bros. have been articulating these last few years, but that makes it all the more intriguing. If big changes do occur next April (and they will), then surely by default the next Avengers film will have even more in store, particularly if it's releasing but a year afterwards?
Anyone who's read the original Infinity War storyline will know that Thanos wipes out existence with but a snap of his fingers. Whether he puts it back together the way remember it, is another thing entirely.
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.
