But I think there's a clear reason why they so blatantly spells out "time vortex" in the mid credits scene. If he could have just gone out with the regulator, then there would be no need to mention time vortex in that scene. And then that scene would have been for naught. They mention time vortex because that's the next step for Scott, and he wouldn't touch a time vortex if he could just grow out of the Quantum Realm.

All the time vortex talk somehow in my mind came off as a "when they need to undo the snap in avengers 4 Scott will suggest to use it to go back in time" rather than his ticket out of the quantum real.

Either she doesn't age or she's frozen in some way like Steve. I would think if Fury is paging her at the end of IW she must already exist in the present.
I mean isn't she like the most powerful MCU hero ever? I would totally buy that the Power cosmic or wtf ever it is she has slows human aging down. Presumably when they pick a new Captain Marvel they want it to be a long term position and not like... 60 years.

That scene Sebastian Stan talked about involving getting a lot of actors together, it was all snapped people wasn't it?
Samuel L Jackson, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, himself.

Yup.

"There was one scene, I think, we had where everybody was there. I can't really talk about that scene, but I knew it took them three months in planning this scene to have everyone there," he said. "You look around and you just saw everyone from Samuel L. Jackson to Michael Douglas to Michelle Pfeiffer. Everybody was there."

I'm so ready for the Janet action!

I remember there being a set picture with Tony being in Shield gear. Are we supposed to take that as post-IW? Not any time stuff? Cause if so, please, if they have him take over shield, just say at least one line of dialogue like:

"Shield was needed, after the snap people were going crazy, mass hysteria. After what happened in Chicago while we were distracted by Thanos, those that were there and who still remained thought highly of Shield for their quick action. So it was natural to bring it back."

They don't need any Shield characters to appear, but goddamn one line would mean the world. Though I have no idea what the timetables were from when Shield finished filming and A4 filmed.

It feels like a wasted opportunity to not introduce Nova now, unless Marvel is being extra sneaky.

When people are un-snapped they don't reappear in the same location they were last in? Like won't Spidey and the Guardians show up on Titan when everything is un done? I don't remember what happpened in the comics.

I honestly think the most challenging aspect of Nova is having to promote a character named Dick Ryder.

It might be the most difficult thing Marvel Studios will have ever had to overcome.

Since every Avengers movie after the first Avengers has been about time. Age of Ultron and Infinity War. Maybe Avenger 4s title will be about time considering the Russos said Avengers Forever is the closest fans have guessed.

Avengers: End of Time
Avengers: Time Game
Avengers: Forever After

Set photos show Tony with lighter colored hair. Some have said it's gray hair (hence 'old Tony') but to me it just looks blonde. Maybe that's just the light though.

Oh, old as in "age". thought for some reason you meant "old" as in "Iron Man 1/2/Avengers" Tony.

I've watched way too many Youtube videos and read too many Avengers 4 theories. Are we assuming Captain Marvel is in space or in the quantum realm?

Ironman's survival was crucial to winning which means he probably leads the research thinktank along with Banner and Shuri on harnessing the Quantum Realm.

Captain Marvel may be the strongest Avenger but I doubt Thanos will be defeated by raw strength alone but rather ingenuity so she will be a big part of the plan the Avengers come up with.

I know time travel is assumed but I'm guessing they'll be dimension hopping and maybe borrowing infinity stones from the other realms to make another infinity gauntlet which Tony or Cap wield to reverse the snap.

This should be the post-credits teaser. Something small, like the Xavier school + the X-Men musical theme from the animated show or something.

Won't be happening since the deal might not be even finished by then. Even if the deal is done they have very little time to plan and orchestrate it fitting in with future installments and plans.

That's why the post-credits scene should be very short and minimal. It doesn't set up anything except "hey, the X-Men are part of this universe now". No actors, nothing.

Funny how both versions of this scene tackle such different ideas at their core. While this version tackles Gamora's complicitness, the theatrical release is about selling Thanos' conviction in how "wonderful" the aftermath is at the other side of his genocide.

Both are solid but they chose the stronger one for the film. The balance of emotions between Thanos and Gamora is really fantastic in the final film. This scene feels a little unbalanced. Maybe it's Thanos actually being angry.

The offhand, throwaway delivery of Bolin's dialogue is such a fun curveball for the character. He's just walking through the end of the universe like an old man in a park.

I think its possible X-Men could play a role in the post credits or maybe even a small cameo (recast) during the movie itself if Disney made a secret separate deal with Fox before the acquisition. Doctor strange already introduced the multiverse which can help explain any re-casted X-Men from Fox's X-Men universe while also keeping Fox's universe separate. Even though Fox's X-Men aren't part of the MCU they may be part of the overall multiverse.

I think the multiverse is going to tie everything together in Avengers 4. We already know of dimensions like the quantum realm, astral dimension, mirror dimension, dark dimension, etc. And the ancient one talked about their universe being one of infinitely many... And then showed the dark dimension during that same scene so 'dimension' and 'universe' may be interchangeable words.

If time travel is involved then we may get some exposition of the many world's theory from one of the scientist characters. Like if they go back in time and alter the past (or maybe borrow something like an infinity stone), they cant just travel back to their future but may need something like a sling ring to get back to their own universe. With infinite universes, that means there are probably infinite copies of themselves, infinite infinity stones/gauntlets.

X-Men absolutely will not be in the credits. The deal will not be finalized in time.

He is talking about a deal besides the Fox-Disney merger. Which highly likely isn't the case either.

Couldn't do a deal such as that 'secretly', there'd be leaks and then it would have to be announced anyway.

And why would Disney buy X-Men if they were preparing a bid to acquire Fox in general anyway.

People need to stop the X-Men in Avengers 4 Post-Credits - it won't happen.

And I'm betting X-Men are on ice for a few years, and we'll see Fantastic 4/elements from F4 before an X-Men film.

Oh, old as in "age". thought for some reason you meant "old" as in "Iron Man 1/2/Avengers" Tony.
you missed the obvious

Avengers: Forever War.

Cap is told back when/before he became super soldier cap about what important events that need to happen, and who he has to save to fight thanos.
Cap also learns that this will probably end in his death, but he is the only character that has the will to follow through, and as a result, Cap gets stuck in a time loop forever fighting thanos so the universe could survive.
