Avengers Infinity War is not a feel good superhero movie.

Many people have left the theatre with their heads down, mourning the apparent loss of their favorite superheros.

SPOILER ALERT: Fans of Black Panther and Spider-Man will likely not be happy with the ending.

So the question remains: why make a movie that appears to kill off some new heroes that have barely been introduced into the MCU. One possible explanation is the hype and ticket sales generated by creating a movie that brought together every major character in the Marvel pantheon of heroes. Knowing that all of the new characters would be added to a new Avengers movie increases the anticipation because knowing that are new characters makes it even more exciting.

As sad as the ending seemed it had people asking what’s next and how they are going to make it right and hopefully bring back the fallen heroes? What is the next thing that’s going to give the remaining heroes an edge against Thanos knowing how powerful he is? Will the remaining heroes be able to come together and set aside their differences to focus on defeating Thanos? While they try and defeat Thanos, who else will die along the way. With so many unanswered questions hanging out there, it will give Marvel a chance to try and either fix things and bring them back or give the MCU a new fresh look with a lot of new heroes.

With the fact that half of everyone is dead leaves out the question of how they are going to tie this story in with other Marvel movies that are scheduled to be released in the next few years. One of the only clues Infinity War provided happened during the post credit scenes in which Nick Fury sees the heroes disintegrating in front him. Right before he also fades away, he uses a tricked out pager to send out a symbol that resembles the logo for Captain Marvel.

This clue gives fans an indication that the Captain Marvel character will somehow be used to counter Thanos’ power. The fate of the Avengers appears to be falling to this female superhero, who has Superman like abilities. It will be quite a challenge for her considering half the galaxy has been turned to dust.

Captain Marvel has her own movie coming out in March of 2019 so it will help set up her character for future adventures.

Fans can also assume that she is going to be a key role in Avengers 4 releasing May 2019.
