Potential (minor) Avengers 4 spoilers follow…
While Marvel Studios is doing a fantastic job of keeping any and all details relating to Avengers 4 tightly under wraps (including the title!), two persistent rumours about the Avengers: Infinity War follow-up are that it will see the surviving members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes using time travel to try and undo ‘The Snap’, and that there’ll be a time jump between the two movies.
With regards to the latter, Gwyneth Paltrow has previously let slip that Pepper Potts and Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark are married with a child, while teenager Emma Fuhrmann (Blended) has been cast as an older version of Scott Lang’s (Paul Rudd) daughter Cassie, played by Abby Ryder Fortson in Ant-Man and the upcoming sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Both of these lend weight to the fact that there’ll be a fairly substantial gap in time between Infinity War and Avengers 4 (certainly more than the one-year real time gap), and now a report from SuperBrosMovies claims that things will actually pick up five years after the closing credits of this year’s smash hit blockbuster:
Avengers 4 starts YEARS after Infinity War. Not just a few months later as some people were hoping for. Sorry guys.

Five.

Now, this is all rumour for the time being, but a five year gap certainly makes sense given the age difference between the two Cassie Lang actresses, and would allow Marvel to really explore how the world – and indeed, the universe – has changed following Thanos’ victory in Avengers: Infinity War, and how our heroes have been impacted by their devastating defeat at the hands of the Mad Titan.
