Thor: Ragnarok
Kevin Feige has suggested that the name of the presently untitledAvengers 4isn’t as big a deal as the secrecy suggest . When Marvel announced their Phase 3 slate in 2014 , it was countersink to climax with the two - partAvengers : Infinity Warevent , withPart 1 in 2018 andPart 2a year later in 2019 . There have been several changes to the phone line - up since then ( the improver ofSpider - Man : Homecomingafter the deal with Sony and removal ofInhumans ) but by far the most mysterious was the removal of the duology language : Avengers 3alone is nowInfinity War , withthe fourth currently ignoble .
This has of course led to speculation over whatAvengers 4will weave up being call , and further what the continued concealment around it means . Feige said back in April that the project was currently untitled becauseit was a mollycoddler for Infinity War , although that may not be the full story .
Screen Rantrecently sit down with Feige at theThor : Ragnarokjunket and , after he alluded to the film , asked about the actual nature of the statute title , to which the manufacturer revealed that the secrecy was more around keeping focus onInfinity Warthan it was protect spoilers :
Screen Rant : You kind of brought up the Avengers come out in 2019 . avenger 4 still does n’t have a title . Is title still despoiler - ish ? Do we have to get through Infinity War to get that title ?
Kevin Feige : Yeah , I reckon some of that has been blown out of proportion . We do need the stress to be on Infinity War for now .
Focus is an crucial gene for Marvel at the second . They ’ve late upped their production to three movies a class , which means a lot of productions in all style of ontogenesis at once . As a resultant , hoi polloi are always blab out about something related to the MCU , but it ’s trickier for Feige to check that it ’s what he want ( this is probable whytheInfinity Wartrailer situationis so delicate ) . At the minute , Avengers 4is shooting , which risks the hoopla motorcar bypassingInfinity Wartothe death of the MCU as we know it . Keeping the title aside stops it feel as tangible and all eyes onAvengers 3(andThorandBlack Pantherbefore it )
It may still be that there is also a spoiler element - he did n’t clarify when it was going to be revealed - but Feige seems keen to point out that is n’t the drive reason . Indeed , if you go back to the original quote about the title being a spoiler , it was an affirmative reply to an interviewer ’s query and thus wildly open to rendition .
Earlier this year Zoe Saldana seemed to suggest it was known asInfinity Gauntletand , while that has since been confute , it ’s probably not too far off . Despite losing thePart 1moniker , Avengers 4is still being shot back - to - back withInfinity Warand shares many of the mold ( including , crucially , principal scoundrel Thanos ) , so will still be a sequel of that story rather than an isolated risky venture such asSecret Invasion .
