The Most Interesting Infinity War Easter Eggs and Avengers 4 Fan Theories

Easter eggs and references in the film

Like any other Marvel movie, Infinity War is filled to the brim with allusions to comics and pop culture.

Star-Lord - Flash Gordon

Tony Stark's relationship with Star-Lord didn't work out right away. In one scene, Iron Man calls him Flash Gordon. And it gets straight to the point.

Flash Gordon is a comic book hero who was sent into space, where he fought an alien villain and could not return home. The analogy with Peter Quill is obvious.

Tobias Funk

When the heroes arrive at the Collector, a blue man with a mustache and glasses can be seen in one of the capsules. This is a reference to the sitcom Arrested Development, which was filmed by the Russo brothers. In one of the episodes, the character Tobias Funk completely painted himself blue.

Good old enemy

Anyone who was tormented by thoughts about the fate of the Red Skull from the movie "The First Avenger" can breathe out calmly. The Tesseract sent the head of the Hydra to Vormir, where he became the guardian of the Soul Stone.

There have been no hints yet, but I really want to see the Red Skull in future Marvel films. Such a flamboyant villain shouldn't be wasted.

New caste

Another detail that's easy to overlook. Behind the cool makeup of the Red Skull, not everyone saw another actor. In the film about Captain America, the villain was played by Hugo Weaving, familiar to everyone from the role of Agent Smith in The Matrix.

In Infinity War, the role of the Red Skull is played by Ross Marquand - Aaron from The Walking Dead.

Infinity Gauntlet

It would be strange if the movie about the Infinity Stones remained without references to the comic book about Thanos and his gauntlet. The scene in which the mad titan splits Drax and Mantis into cubes and ribbons is quoted word for word from the original comic. Only in him did the mad titan do this trick with his brother and Nebula.

The famous snap of his fingers, which Thanos used to dissolve half of life in the universe, also refers to the comic "The Infinity Gauntlet". Well, the final scene, in which the purple thug looks into the distance with pacification, was taken from the same place.

Perfect Mjolnir

As you remember, the hammer of Thor in the third part of the film of the same name was destroyed by Hela - the goddess of death. After that, the thunder god unleashed his true power and decomposed his sister's henchmen into molecules. However, his strength was not enough to fight Thanos.

Thor, along with Rocket, went to the ancient forge and collected a new weapon called the Stormbreaker. In the comics, Thunderbolt was wielded by Beta Ray Bill, a character belonging to the Corbinite race.

Outwardly, the hammer from Infinity War is similar to the one that the god of thunder had in the Ultimate comics of the Marvel universe.

Sanctum Sanctorum

Bruce Banner, sent by Heimdall to Earth, breaks through the roof of the temple where Doctor Strange resides. It is noteworthy that the Sanctum Sanctorum was also blatantly vandalized in the comics. The Silver Surfer landed only on the roof of the temple.

Spider Sense

At the start of the invasion, when Peter Parker is on the bus, his hair stands on end. So the Russo brothers showed a spider flair, which was not in the solo album of Spider-Man and "Confrontation".

Groot defender

Teen Groot is fascinated by his handheld console throughout the film. A closer look reveals Arcade Defender, a popular 80s game developed by Atari, on its screen. In it, the player had to protect astronauts from hordes of aliens.

Outriders

Outriders are genetically created monsters whose purpose is to die for the glory of Thanos. That is why the mad titan used these creatures as cannon fodder during the attack on Wakanda.

Post-credits scene

When the Adam Warlock capsule was shown in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, viewers were jolted. However, James Gunn dashed hopes for the emergence of a powerful creature in the third part of the franchise.

But the scene after the credits of "Infinity War" directly hinted that in the next film Thanos will fly a hefty slap in the face from Captain Marvel performed by Brie Larson.

Theories about the future of the Avengers

There are not many facts about the fourth part of "The Avengers". But this does not prevent fans from building theories about how Tony Stark and Cap will handle the situation.

Doctor Strange knew everything

This was the first thing I thought about when I left the cinema. The Supreme Magician of the Earth looked through 14 million possible scenarios and found the only correct one. He followed him.

This conjecture was confirmed by Stephen Strange himself when he handed the Time Stone to Thanos in exchange for Tony Stark's life. If you remember, the magician made it clear that he did not intend to risk the safety of the universe in order to save several heroes.

Do not think that Marvel has shown the development of the character of the magician in this way.

Strange may have developed a liking for other characters, but not enough to risk the future of the universe.

Most likely, he saved Tony's life because Iron Man is the key to victory. In addition, the scene from "Age of Ultron", in which Stark saw the death of the Avengers, still does not come out of my head.

The Mad Titan said he was "cursed with knowledge," just like Iron Man. Perhaps this is just a metaphor. Or maybe Stark will do something that will determine the outcome of the battle in the future. We will receive a definite answer only next year.

Back to the past

Photos from the set of "Avengers 4" have been circulating on the Web for a long time, on which you can see the scenery of the battle for New York. Immediately sweep aside the flashback scene, because the Ant-Man flaunts in the photo. And on the hands of the heroes you can see strange devices that were not in the first "Avengers".

Most likely, Scott Lang, Tony Stark and Captain America have traveled back in time. It remains to figure out how they got there, because there is no time machine in the MCU. The Time Stone is with Thanos, and Doctor Strange is dead. So it will not be possible to reverse events.

In theory, time travel is possible through the quantum world. Probably, Ant-Man, along with other heroes, will go there to move during the battle with the Chitauri in New York. The recent Avengers 4 Rumored Leaks leak of the Avengers 4 script confirms this theory. Moreover, the heroes will travel back in time to collect the Infinity Stones before Thanos.

Apparently, the travels of Stark and Co. in Avengers 4 will break the timeline so much that superheroes will have to deal with this problem throughout the fourth phase of Marvel. Let me remind you that the laws of our world do not apply in the quantum world. Therefore, it is quite possible to wrap up such a feint.

Soul Stone

After his famous snap, Thanos finds himself in a strange place, where he meets a young Gamora. The Russo brothers have already confirmed to Infinity War Director Confirms Soul Stone Theory that this is the Soul World - a compact universe that is located inside the Infinity Stone.

Joe Russo later backed up the ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Directors Clarify Soul Stone Comments and said it was just a symbolic scene intended to reveal Thanos. Perhaps this is so, but do not forget that Marvel loves to lead viewers by the nose.

I don't really believe that the surviving heroes will go inside the Soul Stone, as some believe. In this case, scenes from the battle in New York lose all meaning. But the filmmakers can create a whole storyline in which the characters will seek a way out of this world.

Most likely, the Russo brothers just left a small hint that all the heroes are alive and languishing in Thanos' orange dungeon.

Ant-Man and Hawkeye

These characters never appeared in the film. In Wakanda, Natasha said both heroes made some kind of deal with the government. Most likely, in order for them to be allowed to see their relatives.

According to the trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott Lang is under arrest after a fight at the airport. We know where he will be at the beginning of the film, but where will he end up? It is likely that Ant-Man will go to the quantum world, and will only return a few years later.

Clint Barton has most likely retired and is spending time with his family. I suppose that after the click, the Burton family will disappear along with the mustache of Henry Cavill and the rest of the people.

After that, Hawkeye will begin his own vendetta. In the photos from the set, he flaunts a new image. Perhaps the hero will be reincarnated as Ronin, as it was in the comics.

Easter eggs "Infinity War". Hawkeye

The Russo brothers promised that Clint Barton would not be left without attention and would play an important role in the future film. But we don't know which one yet.

Captain Marvel

The post-credits scene became a kind of teaser for Captain Marvel. In the films, this character has not yet appeared, but in the world of comics, Carol Danvers has already managed to save the universe more than once.

Kevin Feige told Why Hiring a Female Director for Captain Marvel Is Important to Kevin Feige that Captain Marvel will be the strongest hero in the MCU. It makes sense that Nick Fury sent the message to her.

We will not find out about the super powers that the girl possesses, at least until the first full-fledged trailer. In the comics, Captain Marvel could fly at half the speed of sound. She possessed superhuman strength and vitality, as well as the ability to absorb energy. Probably, we will see something similar in the movies.

With this help, the Avengers will quickly deal with Thanos. It remains to bring all the split friends back, and you can retire.

In an interview on Sway’s Universe radio, the Russo brothers once again talked about the fact that after Avengers 4, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will no longer be the same. All the films that the directors were engaged in led to large-scale changes in the plot of subsequent films. Obviously, Avengers 4 will be no exception.

Rumors are already circulating on the network that a new enemy will appear, which will be much stronger than Thanos, for example, Galactus. In addition, if the plot from the merged script is at least partially confirmed, we will face such a mess over time that Kevin Feige simply needs to introduce parallel worlds into the next films.

But for now, these are just rumors. There are two more films ahead of Avengers 4 that should shed light on the future of the MCU.
