Iron Man, Dr. Strange and Bruce Banner team up to fight the aliens (that may have come for Strange’s infinity stone). Long may it reign.

A threat as massive as Thanos requires a full roster of Avengers to combat it. Look for Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) to don his latest swanky Iron Man suit and assemble opposite Spider-Man (Tom Holland), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), War Machine (Don Cheadle), and Vision (Paul Bettany).
The MCU feels a century old, in a lot of ways. That’s the question I asked myself as embarked on my second re-watch of Avengers in anticipation of Infinity War. Iron Man, Drax, Star-Lord, Dr.
It’s an open secret that Scarlett Johansson’s superspy is one of the worst-served characters in the MCU.
Ah, but Iron Man is going to be a huge part of Infinity War, featured prominently in all of the trailers, merchandise and marketing materials.
That being said, it was charming to see the Avengers assemble for the first time again minus their Civil War squabble and minus the unnecessary Hulk/Natasha romance (ick.) It was refreshing, and it felt like a simpler time.
Looking back on it, Captain America was an astonishing risk for the nascent mega-franchise: flying in the face of everything that Marvel had worked to build up over the preceding years.
Marvel Studios was also criticised for the needless sexualisation of the character in the posters for The Avengers when it was released in 2012. Captain Marvel will also be the other woman-centric MCU film coming out in March 2019. “The way you resolve those differences is you shack up together long-term”.
Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff, aided by the Falcon fight members of the Black Order – Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight. “They just get their part of the script”.
Put Winter Soldier up against any spy thriller, and it will hold its own. They have to stop the villain from using the magic thing. If I’m pressured to though, it has to be from Avengers: Age of Ultron during the post-credit sequence where we see the Infinity Gauntlet arise – completely empty of Infinity Stones. Sun’s getting real low on it.
As you may have heard, Tessa Thompson, whose character of Valkyrie we first met in Thor: Ragnarok, pitched an idea past year regarding an all-female team-up movie. But the Mad Titan will be opposed by Avengers’ Captain America, Falcon, Black Widow, Bruce Banner (who’s also present at Team Stark’s NY battle), and War Machine.
Benedict Cumberbatch is the flawless Doctor Strange, and you can’t convince me otherwise. Because I remember at least mildly enjoying it, but this time around it was nearly unwatchable.

The final film in phase one of the MCU, “Avengers” is the first time we see these heroes share the same screen.
