Avengers Infinity War sequel: What next for the Avengers?

The Avengers are still reeling from the Infinity War, regrouping after seeing half the universe being wiped from existence. 

A small, disparate team of survivors will now have to come to terms with the loss of some of our favourite heroes after Thanos snapped his fingers. 

The Mad Titan has disappeared to an unknown farm, the Avengers are split across the universe, emotionally crippled and broken. All hope is lost as fans wait another year to find out what happens next. 

Just three Marvel films will feature in the next year for Avengers 4, so what will happen next? 

Which Avengers are currently dead? 

The end of Infinity War resulted in an absolute massacre of the Marvel Roster. When Thanos snapped his fingers, half the universe ceased to exist, including some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. 

The full list of characters who are currently killed or wiped from the universe include:

Heimdall

Loki

Gamora

Vision

Bucky Barnes

SpiderMan

Falcon

Scarlet Witch

Black Panther 

Groot

Star-Lord

Drax

Mantis

Dr Strange

Maria Hill

Nick Fury

The Collector(???????)

Quite a list considering that there are more than 35 major superheroes in the movie alone. 

Others that are currently missing from the roster who didn’t feature in the film include Valkyrie, AntMan, Wasp, Hawkeye, and Korg.

The depleted roster that remains:

Black Widow  

Okoye

Hulk  

War Machine  

Nebula  

Iron Man 

Thor 

Captain America 

Rocket Raccoon 

The small band of survivors will likely not feature in the MCU again until the release of Avengers 4 May 3 2019. 

The title for the next installment is yet to be revealed, as directors The Russo Brothers, claim the title will spoil Infinity War and the potential plot for the next film. 

In the meantime, fans can look forward to the next solo outing from Paul Rudd in Ant-Man and the Wasp, scheduled for release in the UK July 6.

It is rumoured that Ant-Man will be set between Civil War and Infinity War, as Scott Lang prepares to enter the Quantum Realm to find his missing mother and take on the mysterious Ghost. 

Fans think Ant-Man will play a significant part in saving the universe through the Quantum Realm, with one fan even claiming he has spotted the shrinking figure hanging off the Infinity Gauntlet in the Infinity War IMAX poster. 

After that, a long wait will bring fans to the hotly anticipated Captain Marvel solo film. Scheduled for release March 6 2019, Brie Larson will take on the role of Carol Danvers – Captain Marvel. 

Plot rumours claim that Captain Marvel will be set in the 1990’s exploring how Danvers got her powers, as well as her relationship with a young Nick Fury. 

Captain Marvel is one of the most powerful characters in the entire Marvel universe, and it is suggested that she could be the one to save the universe and lead the Avengers in the next phase of the MCU.

After that, Avengers 4 will release May 3 2019, as we finally find out what happened to Thanos and the Avengers.

There has been absolutely no information given about the next Avengers film, as fans still wait for the title to be released.
