Hawkeye Will Be On A Solo Mysterious Journey In Avengers Infinity War



One of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers, Clint Barton/Hawkeye was notably left out from the trailers, posters, and other promotional materials of Avengers Infinity War. This flooded the internet with rumours that the archer might not be making an appearance in the third Avengers movie while others believe that Hawkeye is going to take up the mantle of Ronin in Infinity War, which is why Marvel has left him out from the promotional materials.

If you are an ardent marvel comic book fan or a passionate MCU film lover, then the question of is Hawkeye going to be in Avengers Infinity War might have popped into your mind at least a couple of times. The directors of the third Avengers movie recently confirm that Jeremy Renner’s archer will indeed make an appearance in the movie. In fact, Hawkeye will be on a solo mysterious adventurous journey during Infinity War.


Joe Russo said, “Hawkeye coming out of Civil War is in the same position that the Cap and Falcon are in at the end of that movie. And Ant Man. And coming into this movie, the characters who are on Cap's side coming out of Civil War, some made certain decisions and others made other decisions that led to different paths and them dealing with oversight in this movie in a different way. So, Hawkeye's on his own journey in this movie.” Anthony Russo added, “Yeah, he has a unique reaction to the Civil War situation that puts him in a special spot this film.”

Joe Russo continued by stating that "There's a lot of characters in these movies that have tones that they're bringing from their own franchises. I think it's a very unique film. I don't think there are a lot of movies that have the kind of tone that this movie has, because it's a combination of franchises. I don't think we've ever seen that before, on this scale. It's got a really unique tone to it. I think it's propulsive. I would say it's an adventure film, but it has elements of a... We were inspired by 90s crime films when we were working on the script, so it's got an energy to it, a bit of a smash-and-grab energy." Avengers Infinity War release date was recently moved o April 27, 2018 by Marvel Studios.

Thor Meet Guardians in new Avengers Infinity War Clip


A new clip from one of the most anticipated superhero movies, Avengers Infinity War has finally made its way to MCU fans and casual movie lovers. The clip was actually a part of the Avengers Infinity War trailed, which was released at the D23 Expo last year. In the leaked Avengers Infinity War clip, we get to see the meeting of the God of Thunder and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

In the clip, we can see that Thor is floating lifelessly through the cosmos of Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Asgardian king end up on the windshield of Guardians’ ship. The guardians bring Thor inside where Drax suggests that he is not a dude but a man whereas Gamora admires Thor for Thor’s impressive physique. Finally, Star Lord asks Mantis to wake Thor up The God of Thunder, who is a bit startled to meet the Guardians asks “who the hell are you guys”.

The directors of Avengers Infinity War have already revealed that the Guardians will play a crucial role in the ensemble flick. Joe Russo said, “They have a great role in this film. Everyone is interwoven into this plot, in a way where they have an emotional connection to the story, and are emotionally effected by the stakes in the movie. You can't tell a movie with this many characters, and not have each of those characters show up, honor them from their different franchises, if they are not motivated to be there, if they are not in life or death circumstances, if they are not fighting to save their belief system, or their way of life.”


He added, There's a lot of characters in the film, and there are a lot of people who are dealing with a lot of issues in a lot of moments, and you look to do the best that you can with each of those characters in the storytelling. We'll get into whether Quill returns to Earth or not, but certainly, Earth is a pivotal player. But as is Space. So there's a lotta stories we told in this one."

From Thor Ragnarok end credits, it is evident that the surviving Asgrdian Parties including Thor, Hulk, Loki, and Valkyrie will be confronted by Thanos. So, it is safe to assume that Thanos might fight Thor and throw him to the cosmos and he will eventually end up with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Deadpool 2 Will Be Very Different From Its Prequel


The gory kill scenes and witty character representation in Deadpool that was 100 percent accurate to the Marvel comic books had enabled the Ryan Reynolds starrer superhero movie to earn a wide acceptance among both critics and movie lovers. However, recent reports that indicated that the cast members had to reshoot a few scenes because the test screening didn’t go well has made Deadpool fans a bit worried.

However, Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin, who will be playing Cable in the second outing of the Merc with the mouth has assured fans that the movie will be an absolute treat for Deadpool and Cable. Additionally, the cast members have also promised that the second instalment of Deadpool will be a lot different from its prequel. Consequently, Deadpool 2 will seem a lot more fresh and funny.

In a recent statement, Josh Brolin said, “Deadpool [2] I know is going to be very fun and funny and fresh because it’s very different from the first Deadpool.” This will be the second superhero movie for Josh Brolin this year, as he will appear in Avengers Infinity War as the Mad Titan, Thanos. From the Avengers Infinity War leaked trailer, it is evident that Josh Brolin will have a fair screen time in the third Avengers movie and he will cause destruction while searching for his precious Infinity Stone.


Moving back to Deadpool 2, another cast members of the movie, Zazie Beetz who plays Domino in the movie said, “In Deadpool 2, I think we go heavier than the first one did. Like Atlanta, the themes are darker. I liked playing this woman who could meet Deadpool face-to-face and toe-to-toe. In terms of our wit and our banter, we match. It really was nice to play that.”

Only time will be able to tell whether Ryan Reynolds and the rest of the crew will be able to enjoy success with Deadpool 2 or not. However, the film is just a few months away from release and it is rumoured to be the second most awaited movie of the year after Avengers Infinity War. It is evident that 2018 is another great year for superhero fans because Black Panther has already been fantastic and it has set the bars really high for the upcoming superhero films such as Deadpool 2, Avengers Infinity War, Venom, X-Men Dark Phoenix Saga, and Aquaman.

Superhero Deaths In Avengers Infinity War Will Be Permanent


As the release of Avengers Infinity War is around the corner, several MCU fans and casual movie watchers have been speculating about who will survive in Avengers Infinity War and who will meet demise in the third Avengers movie. Even though, Marvel has refused to share any clue on who will fall prey to Thanos’ destruction in the movie, it is safe to assume that at least a couple of the founding members of the MCU’s Avengers will not survive the third phase of MCU.

In a recent statement, the head of the Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige said that some of the deaths of the MCU superheroes that will happen in Avengers Infinity War will stay permanent. This means that the Marvel characters who dies in Infinity War will not be resurrected. So, it certainly is the end of the path for at least a couple of our beloved MCU heroes.

Kevin Feige said, “I mean, I could always list off the characters that we’ve killed in our movies that haven’t come back, but the big ones, which I know they’re looking at…? I would just say, yes… People need to be careful what they wish for.” He added, “People always will jump to that. That’s not necessarily what we’re talking about. I talk a lot, because I’m a big-ass nerd, about Star Trek: The Next Generation, All Good Things. That to me is one of the best series finales ever. That wasn’t about death. Picard went and played poker with the crew, something he should have done a long time ago, right?”


The fact that the MCU contracts of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and a few more will end by the fourth Avengers movie have urged several fans to see that either these characters will die in the upcoming Avengers movie or they will simply retire. It has been confirmed that Shuri, played by Letitia Wright will have a big role in the upcoming Marvel movies. So, there is a good chance that she might take up the mantle of Iron Man after Tony’s demise.

Rumours surfacing the internet also suggest that Valkyrie, who is played by Tessa Thompson might take up the mantle of Thor once Chris Hemsworth leaves the MCU. Finally, it makes sense if Bucky Barnes or Sam wield Cap’s Shield too. However, fans have been asking is Bucky Barnes White Wolf after the end credit scene of Black Panther. So, Sam Wilson might be the one who is the front runner to take up the mantle of Captain America.

Avengers Infinity War Will feature Multiple Character Deaths


If you are a person who has passionately followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the release of Iron Man in 2008, you might be probably aware of the fact that Avengers Infinity War is going to be the ultimate showdown between good and evil. However, the million dollar question Marvel fans and MCU lovers have been asking for a very long time is who dies in Avengers Infinity War.
It is true that the official from Marvel studios have confirmed that not every one of our favorite Marvel superheroes will survive Avengers Infinity War. So, if the question of who will survive in Avengers Infinity War has popped into your head multiple times, you are not alone. We all are dying to know who will fall prey to Thanos’ destructive forces and who will live to see another day.

It has almost been officially confirmed that one or two major Marvel characters will not survive the third Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark / Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently stated that heads will roll in the third installment of the Avengers movie.


He said, “Believe me, I’m tired of every movie, you know, “It’s the end! It’s Armageddon! It’s the Be All, End All, Forever!” And then it’s… not. This one actually is. They’re not kidding. This is a heads-will-roll scenario.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem like a surprise, as the Mad Titan’s Arrival with the Black Order has hinted that something bad was really going to happen to our beloved Marvel heroes. From the Infinity War trailer leak, we were also able to see a glimpse at what Thanos is really capable of.

In addition, the Avengers Infinity War footage and the Avengers Infinity War prelude comics did hint that MCU heroes will have to take extreme measures to stop the Mad Titan and his Black Order. This means that Iron Man, Captain America, or Thor might even have to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.

So, you should be ready to stay farewell to at least a couple of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers. The writer of Captain America Winter Soldier and Civil War, Stephen McFeely recently warned fans to get ready to say goodbye to a few of their favorite MCU heroes. He said, “It’s safe to say we will say farewell to people.”

Black Panther Crosses Dark Knight In The Box Office


It seems that even the Dark Knight is unable to stop the king of Wakanda, Black Panther at the box office. Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther has just earned another 41 million dollars in the box office last office. This has brought the domestic box office total of the newly released MCU movie to be around $562 million.

One of the most interesting things you need to note is that the solo outing of the Wakandian King has just surpased the box office collection of one of the best superhero movies ever made, that is, The Dark Knight. According to reports from reliable sources, MCU’s Black Panther is currently the highest grossing solo comic book superhero movie ever. In addition, Black Panther is also the seventh-highest grossing movie in the domestic box office at the moment.

The only MCU movie with more box office earning than Black Panther is the first Avengers movie, which was released in the year 2012. MCU’s first superhero showdown Avengers had scored 623.4 million dollars and went on to became the fifth highest grossing movie of all time and the highest grossing superhero movie. However, records are meant to be broken and Black Panther is rumoured to break MCU’s box office records in the coming weeks.


Even if Black Panther managed to break the box office record of Dark Knight and the first Avengers movie, the success enjoyed by the ones who made Black Panther might be short lived. This is mainly because the greatest MCU superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War is just a few weeks ago and it is estimated to break every superhero movie record.

However, in a recent statement, Mar Millar, who is writer some of the top selling Marvel comic books including Civil War believes that Black Panther’s box office record will remain intact even after the release of Avengers Infinity War. He said, “I'm going to make a bold, crazy prediction and you can giggle all you want: But I think Black Panther is going to outgross Avengers: Infinity War. I can feel it in my BONES”

Black Panther ending has really hinted a few clues about Bucky Burney’s character in the third Avengers movie, particularly the end credits scene. So, if you have not yet got a chance to see Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Michael B Jordan, and more in action, grab your Black Panther tickets and enjoy the show before Avengers Infinity War releases.

Letitia Wright knows how Shuri would interact with the Avengers


Ryan Coogler, who has earned a name in Hollywood through “Creed” and “Fruitvale Station”, has just directed one of the best MCU movies ever. The solo outing of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa aka Black Panther has received huge praise from both critics and viewers alike, which is something Ryan would be really proud of.

Ryan Coogler’s MCU debut took viewers on a visual journey to the fictional nation of Wakanda. The movie showed the heroics of T’Challa, introduced the king’s allies, and gave us an incredible protagonist in the form of Michael B Jordan’s Killmonger. However, one of the major allies of Black Panther who was introduced in the movie was T’Challa’s sister Shuri.

Letitia Wright’s take on the character was phenomenal and she was one of the best things about the movie. She used her skills and genius to develop a number of devices and suits, which allowed Black Panther to thrive against Kilmonger and other villains.

Letitia Wright’s Shuri is rumoured to have a greater role in MCU and the actress have a clear idea on how her meeting with Bruce Banner or Tony Stark would go. She said, “I think she'll be OK. I think she would humble herself to learn from them, and challenge them as well with new designs and new ideas from Wakanda. And she's willing to learn from the West because her brother is so open now. I think she's embracing that as well. She would hold her own."

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe is swiftly drifting to the fourth phase, it has been rumoured that Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and a few more Avengers will be existing the franchise, which will leave a major spot for a tech genius. The on-screen charisma and the brilliant performance delivered by Letitia Wright will undoubtedly make her a forerunner for the spot.


Letitia Wright talked about working aside Chadwick Boseman and said, "It was easy, and I’ll tell you why. I feel like it was ordained. I really, really feel like this is just a God thing. Even before I met him, I knew that he was going to play my brother. I just knew that we would connect because of the type of actor he is as well. He’s a person of the spirit, a like soul. Very grounded, down-to-earth, humble. I knew that when I met him, I wasn’t going to try and impress him, to force a friendship. I was just going to vibe and see if we connect on a soul level, and we did. And even in our first scene together, it was kind of like we’ve always been brother and sister."

Black Panther, which is currently running near you, will be the last Marvel movie before the ultimate superhero showdown, Avengers Infinity War. So, try to catch it to get pumped up for the next Avengers movie.

Black Panther’s Killmonger Has Just Solved MCU’s Villain Problem


As you would probably know, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has enjoyed tremendous success over the last 10 years that is since the release of Iron Man back in the year 2018. Even though MCU has grossed over 13.5 billion dollars in their 17 films, casual movie lovers and even die hard Marvel fans often complain that MCU has a major villain problem.

The criticism among fans and critics for not having a phenomenal antagonist was something marvel movies had been trying to fix for a very long time. However, when a new Avengers movie or marvel movie is being released, fans still complain that the  adversary in the movie was not up to the mark.
The God of Mischief, Loki played by Tom Hiddleston had earned huge praise after his first two appearances in marvel movies but it seems that marvel fans want to see the god side of Loki, which was explored a bit in Thor Ragnarok.

It is true that the likes of Cate Blanchett (“Thor: Ragnarok”), Michael Keaton (“Spider-Man: Homecoming”), and Kurt Russell (“Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2”) did show a glimpse of their talent in the last few MCU movie but most of these A-list actors failed to create a lasting impression. This is where Michael B Jordan’s Killmonger set things apart.


Jordan’s performance as Eric “Killmonger” Stevens in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther was phenomenal and it did leave a lasting impression on the viewers. Some critics even hailed him as the most memorable antagonist in the MCU movies. In fact, Jordan’s character is skilful, smart, powerful, and he do have a clear motive, which will make the fans feel for him.

In a recent interview, Jordan said, “The goal was to build a character that will entertain you, educate you, inspire and also scare you a little bit. For the first time for me playing a character like that, obviously, you want to put your best foot forward and try to shoot for the moon. Hopefully we got something that reaches up there.”

Jordan added, "A villain's agenda is deeply impacted by their backstory, their upbringing, their history, and Killmonger's was systemic oppression. That's what he grew up in the States. The only way he saw his way out was to go equip yourself, train yourself and take over." Even though, the comic origin of the character has been altered by the filmmakers, they were still able to give fans a clear idea on why Killmonger turned out to be a misunderstood person, who was forced to become a villain. This is what makes Eric “Killmonger” Stevens the best MCU antagonist ever.

Captain America: Civil War Explains The Difference Between Killmonger And T’Challa


The third installment of MCU’s Captain America Trilogy, Captain America Civil War was one the most important MCU movie ever. Captain America Civil War was crucial to MCU not because it divided the Avengers but because it introduced two iconic Marvel superheroes, Spider-Man and Black Panther.

The web crawler, Spider-Man played by Tom Holland got his solo movie a year ago. Even though Spidey is one most popular and best Marvel heroes, fans were more excited to see a solo Black Panther movie because of three reasons. The first reason is that the top-notch performance from second reason while the second was that fans wanted MCU to explore the fictional nation of Wakanda, which has an extensive collection of Vibranium.

The final reason was that some of the founding members of MCU’s Avengers will exit the franchise by Avengers Infinity War or the untitled Avengers 4 movie. So, you will need a strong and capable leader to lead the Avengers and Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther is one of the leading contenders who could lead a new team of Avengers.

Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa leaped straight into the action after the death of his father, T’Chaka in Captain America Civil War.  About two years later, Black Panther is on a solo mission against a greater foe, Erik Stevens aka Killmonger played by Michael B Jordan. If you have seen the movie, you will be well aware that Black Panther and Killmonger are similar in a number of aspects. However, the producer of the movie, Nate Moore recently stated that Captain America Civil War shows how Black Panther is different from Killmonger.


He said, “You feel the sympathy but you realize he never got over this awful thing that happened to him as a kid, right but was never able to circumvent that and become a good person. He actually becomes a bad person because of it, because vengeance consumes him to a degree he becomes a killer and has plans of essentially mass murder. Interestingly enough, T'Challa makes the opposite choice at the end of Captain America: Civil War, right? So there, he's confronted with Zemo and decides not to do the thing that I think Killmonger would have done immediately. That is where they are two sides of a different coin in a way because the men who they are dictate how they react to that very tragic circumstance.”

Even though the motives and reasons of Killmonger does makes him a reasonable guy, his actions depicts that Killmonger and Black Panther are two opposite sides of a coin. Black Panther will return for the next Avengers movie, Avengers Infinity War, which is scheduled for a May 4 release.
