How many Avengers: Infinity War deaths will there be?
With the Mad Titan Thanos and his Black Order appearing in The Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers 4, it has to be a given that some of the Assemblers might not make it out alive.
It was recently confirmed that following Avengers 4, the core actors’ contracts will be up, which means the following will be hanging up their shield and capes: Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlet Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye)
Anthony Russo:
We’re not participating in any thought whatsoever about what happens after these movies. So we know who we’re allowed to kill, and that’s about it. I don’t even think Marvel had any ideas about where they would go after [Avengers 3 and 4]. It’s not an end for all of these characters; it’s an end for some of these characters. So some of these characters will go on. So it’s more complicated, that’s why it’s not a clean ending.
Kevin Feige:
How can you have both an ongoing cinematic universe that continues to make films and, at the same time, occasionally bring things to a head? Something you’ve never really seen in superhero films is a conclusion. Is a finale. You’ve seen those in Lord of the Rings films. You’ve seen those in Harry Potter films, in Star Wars. Logan did it a little bit with that character. We thought it would be important to bring the current three-Phase, 22-movie current series to a conclusion. How do I say this? There will be two distinct periods between everything before Avengers 4 and everything after. I know it will not be in ways people are expecting.
James Gunn:
I think part of that is also the natural evolution of the series. You can’t keep making movies that are too similar. You can’t make the same movie over and over again. If Marvel is going to survive, they have to start making movies with characters who are a little different. They have to start allowing characters to die. They have to start having stakes really mean something if they want people to stay interested.
James Gunn also comments if Guardians of the Galaxy 2 helped pave the way for deaths in Avengers: Infinity War:
It might be doing that in effect. It was not meant to do that in intent.
