Avengers: Infinity War *Spoilers thread*

[goflyblind]

i think you should petition your government to call it, by law, infinity war two, electric boogaloo.

[Darth Geek]

So a couple of "titles" have leaked online.  One is Avengers: End Game.  The other is Avengers: Annihilation. Thoughts?

Neither of those is a spoiler, which would be the only reason they kept the title a secret. I'm thinking something like Nebula's Revenge, or Whoops All Carnages.

I think Annihilation makes perfect sense.  It's a great description for what happened at the end of Infinity War, and it could also hint at the appearance of Annihilus.  It is also the title of a series in the comics, which many of the movie subtitles do.

I think after Mortal Kombat: Annihilation that subheading should be avoided at all costs.

[Cyrusso]

I think that it will also be a title unique to the MCU, not something generic.

The trailer description that comes with the Annihilation rumor seems pretty cool:

The trailer starts off showing the damaged Infinity Gauntlet in a field on the farm planet. As the camera focuses in on the Gauntlet, we hear Tony's voice: "We were destined to lose." Epic music score starts

The Quinjet is shown landing in a Wakandan wasteland as we hear Steve Rogers say: "We have come so far." Tony and Nebula step off the jet as the remaining Avengers approach. Steve has a look of relief and says: "Tony". Tony, seemingly defeated, shakes his head and gives a friendly smirk back to Cap.

Marvel Studios Logo appears. We get a glimpse of the Battle of New York from 2012 Avengers. Loki is shown looking shocked and baffled as he is on top of the Stark tower. There is a flash of a blue light as the camera pans back. (Cuts to black)

Next we see the Wakandan throne with M'Baku at the helm. He's surrounded by his new kingsguard. (A mix of the hill tribe and Dora Milaje). Shuri and Banner are seen working on a new project in the lab. Black Widow, in full gear, is in Hawkeye's family home from Age of Ultron. Basically everything is thrown all over the place and broken. Nat is studying some type of map with multiple photos and locations on it. A quick shot of Thanos is shown with a long sword, walking down an alleyway in New York City.

The next shot is a dark hooded figure with glowing eyes, aiming a bow and arrow before shooting towards the camera. (1-2 visuals of the Quantum Realm) Scott Lang (no suit) is shown running through a park dodging explosions. (Shot of Space) Thor and Valkyrie are aboard a Kree ship. Thor says: "If the stories are true, you're our universe's last hope. If such a thing even exists anymore".

The next shot is an older, determined Tony Stark walking through the new SHIELD HQ's (Avengers Facility in upstate New York). He's in full SHIELD attire and carrying an orange briefcase. Banner (wearing spandex) is seen running from something, looking terrified. The next shot is Ant-Man appearing out of a flash of light and landing in a desolate place. We see it from his point of view from inside his helmet. He looks left to right and to his left again and says: "What in the-". (Camera focuses on Vormir and its stars)

Next, a shot of Rocket and Nebula modifying some new weapons in the lab. Rocket says "When can we try this bad boy out?" They both smile at eachother and fist-bump. We get our first glimpse of Iron Man in his red and gold nanotech armor. Hulk falls from the sky and lands in front of him. Thanos, in full armor, smiles. Hulk smiles back.

The next shot is in Japan. War Machine, Nat, and Steve (in their full Avengers gear) are surrounded by The Yakuza. Hawkeye (Ronin) walks through everybody from behind them and approaches the Avengers. There's an intense exchange of looks between Clint and Natasha (Next shot is at the Sanctum) Wong is communicating with Dr. Strange's soul via portal. (Cuts to black)

Grey haired Tony Stark and Ant-Man are in a post-apocalyptic NYC. The screen flashes back and forth multiple times through multiple scenes. We see Captain Marvel floating with her fists on fire and her eyes lit up. Thanos in the soul stone with young Gamora screaming at him Loki and Thor fighting off Chitauri together. And Tony handing Steve a brand new shield in the Wakandan throne room. (Cuts back to Tony and Scott)

Tony opens the orange briefcase as Scott hands him an illuminated bracelet. Tony asks: "How?... Is this even possible?" (Iron Man and Ant-Man are shown travelling through the Quantum Realm. Tony and Scott are back in the battle of New York from 2012. The final shot before the title reveal is an Infinity Stone disappearing from Thanos' damaged gauntlet. He abruptly gets up and puts on his armor. His face goes from extremely infuriated to a menacing smile.

Title reveal:
Avengers: Annihilation

Stinger:
The Hulk is training at the new SHIELD facility with Black Widow and Steve. Steve notices that Hulk has been training non-stop as of late, so he asks why. Hulk responds in Banner's normal voice with: "My rematch is coming real soon, I can feel it!"

It seems very time travel heavy.  Which I'm down with.  Especially if they are visiting previous MCU events

Annihilation seems very likely to me.

[Cyrusso]

I grant you there is a possibility that it could be titled Annihilation. However, I also don't think they'd be holding onto the title this long without good reason. Someone either here or on FB said the title could possibly contain a major spoiler. That REALLY makes me wonder. However, of all the title guesses(all 14 million of them), one of them has to be right.

But what could it be a spoiler for? If it's in the movie, are they not going to announce the title till after the movie is out? If it's Captain Marvel, will they really not advertise it at all before CM has been a out a few weeks? That leaves very little time before it comes out in the cinema.

No, I think they just want people speculating about the title and talking about the movie to build hype.

[Pak-Man]

I seem to remember one of the Russos saying that they've overhyped the title a bit and it may be a bit disappointing.

If it IS something spoilery, but- like Grug said- not SO spoilery that they can never reveal it, I can only imagine it has to do with a specific comic book arc that the fans would recognize. Avengers: Disassembled, or Avengers: Fear Itself, or what-have-you.

[Cyrusso]

I just had a horrible thought. What if they call it the Avengers Holiday special then move it to Christmas 2019???

It would be worth it for the universe to be saved by a singing CGI Bea Arthur.

I think I'd much rather see the Real Bea Arthur. However, doing so would require my hiring some Necromancers.

[Pak-Man]

Watch as Bea Arthur sings to try to get the Avengers to leave her Schwarma restaurant at closing time.

[Cyrusso]

Did anyone else notice Winter soldier's... I mean White Wolf's reaction to Rocket? He was just kind of like "Hey, a talking raccoon with a gun, well, considering all the effed up stuff I've seen today, that's not really all that weird."
