How Caps Shield could beat Thors Hammer!!

Infinity War contains a huge amount of superheroes fighting the evil powers of Thanos, and a lot of them demonstrate their extreme power: Scarlet Witch (who destroyed an infinity stone whilst holding Thanos off with her other hand), Thor (who has the power to destroy a fraction of the army in his land and almost kill Thanos) and Doctor Strange (who had, but misused, the power to reverse time). In this blog I will see how Thor's axe and Cap's shield could beat or be equal to each other!!

SPOILER WARNING!! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN INFINITY WAR DON'T READ ON!! BUT ALSO, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THIS YEAR, WATCH IT!!

Back onto Thor, his axe is made from the metal Uru combined with the enchantment of the dying star (Nidavellir), this is the same way his hammer was made. In Avengers Assemble (if you don't remember) Thor's hammer clashes onto Caps shield (made out of Vibranium) and they bounced an equal distance apart. This shows that Uru (with enchantment) has equal power as Caps shield (without enchantment). These leads me on to my theory. If Vibranium was hit with the enchantment  it would be stronger than the enchanted Uru. This is assuming that Vibranium can withstand the power as that may be a quality only Uru possesses.

If Vibranium had the enchantment of the star then it wouldn't only be possible to beat Thor's hammer but maybe it could also destroy Thanos's gauntlet. In case you didn't spot it, you clearly see a mould (or replica) of Thanos's gauntlet in Eitris workshop - this suggests that Uru is the same metal that made the gauntlet. So this also suggests that Vibranium plus Nidalevir could be the final destroyer of Thanos instead of Thor, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange or Captain Marvel. However, their powers combined with the new super metal would be even more amazing.

So what do you think? This is an idea I haven't heard before and I don't think it will be used in the Avengers movie but I find it interesting. Thank you for reading and comment if you have any thoughts, but for now enjoy Marvel whilst it lasts!!

Also, did you know they are bringing the Fantastic Four into the MCU?!!!!!!!

Infinity War review


I know this is a little past due since, if you haven't already seen this film then you must've been frozen in ice for 70 years. It is the No.1 subject everywhere so if you have avoided spoilers up to this stage then you are worthy of Asguards throne. For a spoiler-free paragraph I'm just going to say that I loved it and I don't know as single person who didn't. It has humour, action, suspense, romance, bits that'll make you cheer, bits that'll make you cry and best of all  - a bunch of one-liners that you'll hear mentioned in most conversations with your mates - especially those from Drax. So before I go into further detail I'm going to say, I very much advise you watch it if you haven't already and...

SPOILER WARNING!! IF YOU HAVE, VERY UNLIKELY, NOT SEEN THIS FILM! WATCH IT AND THEN READ THIS BLOG!!


This film blew my brain out of the cinema door into the next cinema screening, bumping into the other audiences blown-brains.There are bits that left you on edge like the Thor and Thanos scene when he stabs Thanos with an axe but then letting Thanos snap his fingers. So yeah, straight in there, Thanos snaps his fingers and destroys half the universe, along with random heroes: Star-Lord, Doctor Strange, Mantis, Drax, Bucky, Black Panther, Groot and saddest of all Spider-man. Which is strange as you may know Spidey has another couple of sequels upcoming and also most of the survivors (Thor, Iron Man, Cap and Hullk's) contracts expire after infinity war. There are many theories on where the people, who dissolved into dust and leaf thingy's, went - I am unsure what to believe but automatically  I thought they went to a parallel universe (like the upside down). Although I had a recent theory that the reality stone made the survivor see them dissolve when actually the survivors went into into a parallel universe and were destroyed but, again with the reality stone, they see life normally. Be expecting a theory from that soon.

Recently films with lots of heroes have felt rushed and out of place *cough* Justice League and *cough* Suicide Squad. This movie didn't cram the heroes in but introduced them in separate ways to not make it feel like they where irrelevant. Although, Clint and Scott weren't in it because of 'house arrest'. The film began with the tragic death of Loki and Heimdall (destrying my theory instantly that he had the soul gem) and Loki says my favourite line in the whole movie 'we have a hulk' (even though Hulks gets his ass kicked and sent to Earth in the next scene). Thanos gets the Teseract and already had  the orb - Thor briefly mentioned that Thanos destroyed Xandar a week ago. This was the one thing I didn't like, how in Guardians they were all about protecting Xandar and the galaxy (but mostly Xandar) and it only got a brief mention that it had been destroyed. The way the Guardians were introduced was the best; it was exactly how they'd do it in a Guardians film. They had their ship flying with the soundtrack of 'The Rubber Band Man' as Quill danced, Drax slept, Gamora sang, and Rocket yawned. They then saw Thor crash into their windshield and the chemistry of Thor and the Guardians was unreal. Star Lord was intimidated and tried to 'out-man' Thor with a fake British accent and the fact he had both eyes. Which reminds me, any errors on posters you may have seen as Thor has both eyes, are not errors as Rocket gave him a eye. Anyway, Rocket and Thor went off to get an axe for Thor with a giant dwarf guy, as Star Lord and the others went to Nowhere in an attempt to retrieve the reality stone. They were too late and Thanos took Gamora. Back on Earth, confused but epic Spiderman, fought alongside, Strange, Wong and Iron Man against Thanos's minions with confusing names. They board the ship and kill one of the minions 'alien' style and crash onto Titan. Quill, Drax and Mantis also go to Titan and think that Strange, Tony and Peter are Thanos's minion and threaten to kill them. Scratch what I said earlier this was the best line it went something a bit like this:

Quill: Where is Gamora?
Tony: I'll do you one better, who is Gamora?
Drax: I'll do you one better, WHY IS GAMORA?

This is the biggest meme at the moment. The fact that Drax felt like he had to be included and interrupted with something that didn't make sense is genius writing - but actually, this line was not in the script it was improvised by Dave Bautista - so now Dave is pretty much worshipped as a god for this one-liner. Anyway, on Earth we see that vision and Scarlet are hiding until they get hunted by others of Thanos's minions and then are saved by Cap, Falcon and Black Widow; this is another cheer out loud moment. They save Vision and Scarlet then they go to Wakanda with all the others 'heroes' on Earth. 

So, on Earth we have
Cap
Bucky
Falcon
Black Widow
Scarlet Witch
Bruce Banner
Black Panther
Shuri
Nakia
Vision
War Machine

 And on Titan we have:
Quill
Drax
Mantis
Iron Man
Spidey
Doctor Strange

After a lot of pain to make Thor's axe he finally wields it and has Groots arm for a handle. In the epic battle of the weird Alien Army vs Wakanda, a cool girl fight scene with Black Widow, Nakia, Scarlet Witch and the girl minion - Thor Groot and Rocket join in. All as on Titan, Thanos arrives! The heroes on Titan host a cool battle with Thanos as Iron Man ends up almost dead but Doctor Strange exchanges Tony's life for the Time Stone. This shocked a lot of people as Doctor Strange literally said earlier on that he will not hesitate to let Thanos kill Spidey or Iron Man to protect the Time Stone. But he can see into alternate futures and I think that handing over the Time Stone and Thanos snapping his fingers is, in some unexplained way, the way to win. Back on earth,Vision with the mind stone, is taking too long to Vision - it was meant to be an emotional moment but I have to admit, I really didn't care as this is how Thanos has been stopped from acquiring the final stone. In a twist, Thanos actually uses his power properly and reverses time to get it out his head before Scarlet can destroy it. This bit was a really 'uh-oh' moment when you realise that he can do that. Thor then sends his axe into Thanos's chest and just gives him the 'games over' face and let's Thanos be in pain. But then, he looks up at Thor and says "you should have gone for the head" and snaps... his... fingers!!

And then we see him looking at little Gamora all a sudden and she's all "Did you do it?"
Then Thanos is like "Yeah".
Then she goes "What did it cost?"
And he says "Everything!"

We go back to reality and see Thanos's glove is all crinkled then he disappeared and the list of peeps who I said at the start die dramatically and silently. But then there's the tear jerking "I don't wanna die" bit from Peter half of the Avengers, along with half of the population of the universe dissolve into leaves or mud or whatever. In the end, Thanos sits down on what we think is Titan overlooking the sunrise of a peaceful planet.
In the end of credit scene (surprisingly only one) we see Nick Fury and Maria Hill also dissolve but not before Fury sends a message on an old pager. The message just shows the Captain Marvel logo so we can safely assume it was to her. So that means...

Captain Marvels will play a big role in Part Two!!

So what did you think of the movie? I loved it personally and I don't know anyone who didn't like it! But maybe you didn't so let me know why. The only things I didn't like was Xandar's of screen death, the fact that Drax was not as big a part in the film (as he is in the comics) and I was surprised that Adam Warlock was not in part one and apparently not part two either. It didn't feel it was overloaded with superheroes and all of them had some sort of  chemistry with each other and I loved that. I can't wait for Ant Man and the Wasp, I think it might explain why wasn't in it, he may have gone subatomic and can't get out of the Quantum Realm or are just really tiny - who knows! Anyway, go see the movie if you just ignored the spoiler warning and enjoy! Enjoy all I can say now is thanks for reading this blog!

MCU phase two recap


Recently I recapped phase one of Marvel for those not up to date or who just needed a reminder. But now I shall recap the larger but not as good, in my opinion, phase two (although Guardians and Ant-Man were phenomenal). 

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! 

Iron Man 3

Like phase one the first film is an Iron Man one. We see Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) being emotionally scarred since he and the Avengers saved NY from destruction. Relying on his suit to protect him, he gets distracted with  his worries and allows the sinister Mandarin to blow up his mansion; sending Tony lost in the middle of nowhere. He meets a boy who lets him stay at his and Tony finds out about an organisation that are able to mutate people to use heat as an ability. Tony hunts the Mandarin but he discovers he is not the real villain but was paid by the organisation. They are now hunting for Tony, using the girl Tony loves (Pepper Potts) as prey., So he sends all his Iron Man suits to the organisation, blows up the location, along with all his suits as Tony and Pepper live.

Thor: The Dark World

The Aether (Reality Stone) has been hidden on the dimension holding the dark elves known as the dark world. But after a battle with Asgard, the Aether was hidden then discovered by some kid in London who noticed strange things happening in that building. Jane (Thor's love interest), Darcy and Darcy's intern, check it out but as Jane touches it, she passes out. Thor then comes to Jane and takes her to Asgard, they find she has weird reactions to anyone who touches her, besides Thor. She is kept in Asgard as the dark elves attack and kill Thor's mother. Thor then swears revenge and plans an attack on the elves, recruiting imprisoned Loki and Jane. Loki  turns against Thor by chopping of his hammer wielding hand and handing Jane to the Elves, releasing the Aether. As it turns out, Thor and Loki had planned this as Loki gives back Thor's hand holographic-ally, stopping the Aether reaching the elves. But, Loki dies and Thor returns to Asgard rejecting the throne as we (the audience) see Loki in disguise as Odin and now Loki has the throne! Also in an after credit scene we see the Aether handed to a man named the collector.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

So the first Cap film left Steve in the present day, confused of, well basically everything. But whilst he's ticking off the list of things to catch-up on, S.H.I.E.L.D has been compromised and Nick Fury has been shot by the illusive Winter Soldier. We see Cap and Black Widow hunt down this masked fiend by contacting Caps good friend Falcon. They battle until he takes of his mask to reveal is, in fact,  Caps old friend Bucky - Yes I did tell you in the previous blog he died, it surprised us all! He flees and a shocked Cap finds out about Hydras plans to kill every non-Hydra supporting human in the world, using  S.H.I.E.L.D.S helicarriers. They invade the ship and stop this attack from happening but Cap refuses to kill his friend Bucky, even though he's trying to kill him. Cap falls but Bucky pulls him out with his one metal arm - perhaps there is good in him? S.H.I.E.L.D is now recovered and Nick is recovering as we see another happy ending.

Guardians of the Galaxy

It's 1988 and young fanboy Peter Quill is at his mothers death bed when he runs out and get's abducted by a space ship. He is raised by Yondu, who has been a father-ish figure since he left Earth (and by father-ish I mean, he didn't eat him). One day Quill goes scavenging on the planet of Morag and finds an Orb (Power Gem). He decides not to give it to Yondu, who subsequently puts a bounty on his head. Quill (Star Lord, as he wants to be called) is followed by the Kree and their leader Ronan. Ronan is working for Thanos and uses his favourite Daughter Gamora to retrieve the Orb (although it turns out she is actually double-crossing him). During the mission Rocket the Racoon and Groot (a living tree man) catch Quill for Yondu's bounty. They all (Quill, Gamora, Rocket and Groot) get arrested by Nova on Xandar and taken to the Kyln (prison). They escape with the help of muscly Drax and head to the Collector to sell it for a heafty sum. The Collectors slave touches the gem and blows up the place as Drax calls Ronan to kill him, to avenge his wife (Ronan, killed her). Ronan arrives and Gamora's sister (Nebula) sends Gamora floating through space as Quill saves her but they get sucked in by Yondu's ship as Rocket. Groot, Drax, Gamora and Quill have a plan for them and Yondu's crew to kill Ronan. This battle results with Ronan and the Guardians (as Quill, Gamora, Rocket, Groot and Drax with soon be known) on Xandar. Quill touches the Orb but instead of the power killing him (as it did the slave) he harnesses it's power and is able to hold hands with the other guardians and share the power to kill Ronan, but it also kills Groot. We are left wondering how Quill was able to touch the gem, but left with a Baby Groot growing in a plant pot.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

The Avengers start the movies by invading a Hydra base acquiring the sceptre (mind gem). On their way they see two mutant siblings, Wanda (Scarlet Witch) and Pietro (Quick Silver) Maximoff, who attempt to attack the avengers but then run away. The avengers continue their investigation and fascination with the sceptre, later to see that an experiment with a new Jarvis like program (artificial intelligence) made by Tony has done what they human race fear: became self-aware. It attacks them taking an Iron Man suit then raising an army. Wanda and Pietro go to Ultron (the self-aware robot that attacked the avengers) for help as they hate Tony. They then got to battle with the Avengers, resulting in Bruce becoming angry and The Hulk killing a load of people in Sokovia. Ultron makes human tissue to form a human which he's going to put the Mind Gem in and make living artificial intelligence. Wanda sees with her powers that Ultron plans on destroying the world and flees delivering the human body to Tony. He likes the idea and thinks they should carry it on but put Jarvis in him. Thor charges it with his hammer and it rises with extrordinary power, even being able to lift Thor's hammer! They prepare for the robot invasion conducted by Ultron on Sokovia. They battle and Sokovia falls from the sky after it was lifted by Ultron's army. Sokovia's inhabitants are evacuated but the land falls in bits to the sea. Vision kills the last of Ultron and Pietro dies. Iron Man and Hawkeye retire as the Hulk goes missing on the jet and we are left with: Cap, Black Widow, War Machine, Wanda, Falcon and Vision as the Avengers.

Ant man

The last of the phase two films begins with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) as he gets out of jail for stealing. He wants to see his daughter but can't so he steals again to get money but only finds a red and grey suit. He later put's it on and shrinks Ant size. When he returns to normal size he freaks out and returns the suit. Thinking he is breaking in, the police arrest him. The size-shrinking suits is delivered to him in his cell allowing him to shrink and escape. He rides a fly, passes out and wakes up in genius, Hank Pym, house (where he stole the suit from). It turns out Pym was testing Scott to see how good is was at breaking in and he trains him to use the suit properly. Pym is head of Pym Tech which is now taken over by Darren Cross who wants to develop his own Ant Man suit called the yellow jacket. Darren was Pym's apprentice but Darren never liked Pym. Ant Man and his friends (who helped him steal the suit in the first place) invade Pym Tech making Darren wear the yellow jacket and head for Scott's daughters room. Yellow Jacket and Ant Man fight on a Thomas the tank engine set and Scott wins the fight. Scott can now be with his  young daughter and is going out with Pym's daughter (Hope) who helped in the invasion. The ending shows Pym give his daughter a Wasp suit.

MCU phase one recap


As you must know, upcoming this Thursday, is Infinity War and I know it seems a bit late coming, but I'm going to (as best as I can) sum up the MCU phase one (Marvel cinematic universe first six films) for those who aren't up to date. But first...

Spoiler warning! I recommend you watch these films before reading but if you're in a rush as you've booked Infinity War tickets then read on! This is aimed as a recap!

Iron man
The first film, Iron man was released in 2008. It cast Robert Downey Jr as millionaire playboy Tony Stark, from New York who sells weaponry for money. One day he gets attacked by terrorists (ironically using his weapons) and held hostage. They replace his hear with an Arc Reactor as they want him alive to build them a missile. Instead (unbeknown to them), he creates the first Iron Man suit (mk 1) and busts out where he's being held hostage and escapes home. He then modifies the suit to make it more humanoid (with more functional weapons). The terrorist group also try to re-create the suit. Tony finds this out. The terrorist leader is revealed as his well known friend Obadiah who has an even bigger Iron Man suit and we see them battle until Obadiah dies in the end. Tony goes home and reveals to the world he is in fact Iron Man, sending the media to go wild.

  The Incredible Hulk
Seven-time PhD holder, nuclear physicist (and big, green, raging beast), Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) is living in the shadows as no-one knows that he is the infamous hulk. The Hulk is a beast that Bruce forms into when he is angry due to a gamma radiation exposure years back. Since then he has been trying to find an antidote to cure it although, some others have different plans. War Mongers would like to use his power by making their own Hulk. Bruce is blackmailed by threatening his love for the secret to his power. The War Mongers think they get all his Hulk-capabilites, making 'The Abomination' but Bruce Banner still carries the hulk inside so we see an epic showdown of the two hulks fighting to the death. Bruce Banner wins ....

  Iron Man 2
We join Tony Stark again in the sequel of Iron Man as others try to recreate his tech, failing miserably. One man, Justin Hammer, succeeds and creates an army of remote-controlled Iron Men recruiting Whiplash - an enemy of Iron Man. One day Tony gets drunk and is acting foolishly wearing the suit. His friend, James Rhodey (later to be called War Machine), steals another of Tony's suits to stop him before he does something stupid. James then goes away and uses the suit to help the military. We are later introduced to Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson) and Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), sent by S.H.I.E.L.D who notice a weird pattern on Tony's chest, showing the Arc reactor is giving him a disease, motivating him to create a triangle shaped arc reactor to cure himself. Eventually, Iron Man and War Machine join forces to fight Whiplash and Jimmy's army in a showdown and surprise, surprise... they win.

 Thor
The fourth film in the MCU is about the Norse god of Thunder Thor (Chris Hemsworth) who is son to the King of Asgard, Odin and is about to take over the throne. The rivals of Asgard, the Frost Giants, from Jotunheim, disturb the ceremony in an attempt to steal the Tesseract (the Space Gem). To enact revenge Thor leads a small group including his brother Loki, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three to Jotunhiem. They battle and are saved by Odin. He had given strict orders to Thor not to battle and as punishment banished Thor to Mid-guard (Earth) where he is separated from his mighty hammer (limiting his abilities). Only a man/woman who is worthy of Asgards throne can wield it. He is then found by Scientists Jane Foster, Darcy and Prof. Erik Selvig in a storm. They investigate his weird entrance whilst S.H.I.E.L.D investigate why no-one can lift Thor's hammer. Thor eventually finds the hammer but realises for the first time he can no longer wield it. Loki appears to tell his  brother he can never return because Odin died and his mother forbids it (Loki, god of Mischief is, of course, lying). Loki wants the throne of Asgard, therefore he sends a metallic giant called the destroyer to earth to kill Thor. It almost succeeds but in the nick of time Thor is seen as worthy again and the hammer flies to him in his moment of need and he destroys the destroyer. Then he confronts Loki, destroying the bi-frost, which can get people from realm to realm to stop Loki from sending the Frost Giants to Asgard. Loki jumps off the bi-frost and is not to be seen until Avengers. But now Thor can no longer return to Earth to see Jane (who has become his girlfriend).

  Captain America: The first Avenger
The last Avenger in phase one - yet known as the first Avenger - is Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). This film is set in WWII and little Steve wants to join the army but is not physically inclined to. He is later accepted into the army by Dr Abraham Erkine who sees he is good on the inside. Howard Stark (Tony Stark's dad) creates a formula to make Steve strong. Steve goes along with it and becomes muscly Captain America who then tries to find Red Skull of HYDRA who went through the same process as Steve but got a Red Skull out of it (hence the creative name!). Cap and his army friends, including his best friend Bucky, go on a mission to find Red Skull, Bucky sadly dies. Cap goes into a one-on-one fight with Red Skull for the Tesseract on a HYDRA plane mid-flight (to stop him having the ability to make powerful weapons). The plane has bombs and was meant to bomb America but Cap flies it into the North Atlantic, freezing himself in the process and is later discovered. The Tesseract plummets deep in the sea. When he wakes from his deep freeze he finds out the war is well and truly over and he has in fact been asleep for 70 years!

  Doesn't look like you're the only one with catching up to do!

  Avengers
Finally, the first team up in the MCU happens. Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D came up with an idea to form a team of the world's mightiest heroes consisting of Iron Man, Captain America, Bruce Banner (now Mark Ruffolo), Black Widow and Hawkeye (who is briefly in Thor).

 Falling from the Bifrost, Loki emerges in S.H.I.E.L.D HQ with the Scepter (Mind Gem). The Scepter can hypnotise people to follow the wielder, Hawkeye and Prof Erik Solvig are two of his victims and they escape HQ. Nick Fury uses Agent Carson to get Tony; Black Widow to get Banner; and he sets off to enlist Cap, to defeat Loki.They join and find Loki in Germany. They them take him back on their jet but get put on hold by the thunder as Thor appears trying to capture his brother himself to take him home. Tony suits up and stops Thor but then Cap breaks them up after battling. They convince Thor to let them take Loki and they all return to S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony and Banner investigate the scepter with Loki held hostage. Loki starts to cause division within the team with his mind tricks and as Hawkeye (still under Loki's spell) attacks S.H.I.E.L.D, Loki manages to break out. In the process he throws Thor from the plane into the middle of nowhere, getting Bruce angry (we all know what happens when he gets angry), he also falls from the plane and turns back to Banner. At the start of this film we saw mad Titan, Thanos give Loki the Scepter. Loki then gets Prof Erik Solvig (also still under his spell) to open a wormhole which allows Thanos's army into Earth. The army attack NY but the Avengers protect by fighting a huge battle, defeating the army and re-capturing Loki, sending him back to Asgard with Thor. They go their separate ways but all get blamed for the NY damage (even though they saved the Earth!).

 And that's phase one.

 Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. Leave a comment if this has given you a good recap or if you've booked your tickets. I've got mine for opening date then next day at 4DX, can't wait! I hope you now watch or re-watch phase one as it is my second favourite phase after the incomplete third phase. But for now, go ahead and book your tickets for Infinity War - I hope you love it am I'm sure I will. Also take notice of the Gems mentioned as they are key to phase 2-3 and mostly Infinity War! Goodbye!

How many super heroes are going to be in Infinity War?

Avengers Infinity War is bound to be amazing, after all, it is the battle that all of the MCU films have led up to. It is called Infinity War because Thanos wants to destroy the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet. This film will have the most super heroes any movie has ever included, but how many? We already know that all the people from Civil War will be participating (so that makes 12), no Netflix characters will be involved and from the Infinity War trailer we can see many more but who else will help save the world with earths mightiest heroes?

Who is definitely going to be in it?

 We know for sure that Hulk and Thor will be returning - but we don't know how for sure - but, that will bring it up to 14. And, from Thor Ragnarok, we are not sure whether or not he will be considered a villain or a hero in this movie but Infinity War might will include Loki. Of course we see him handing over tesseract in the trailer but, who to? Then again we do see Thanos with the Space Gem in his Gauntlet later on. It has also been officially announced that the Guardians of the Galaxy will join in and come to earth or maybe, the film will be mainly set in space (which would be awesome)! Also the MCU film Doctor Strange included an Infinity stone the time gem, so that means he will need to be in it as well and his friend Wan. Although Captain Marvels film is after Infinity War, she is also going to help along side the others. Also Black Panthers friend, Nakia as she is in the trailer; let's not forget his other sisters Okoye and Shuri. That makes 28/9 (Loki dependant) heroes.


Who might be in it?

Now we've passed who is going to be in it let's go on to the rumours. Some will have their own film already but some might just be part of someone else's movie. First, we have the comic book and movie loved hero, Wasp. She is going to appear in Ant-man 2, but she might not help the Avengers for some reason. Now she is part of Ant-mans love life so it would be strange for her not to get involved, unless she is still completing her training - if so it'll more likely be she appears in Part Two. Others may be the Inhumans team! Their film will be released in 2018 on the 3rd of November (one year after Thor Ragnarok) and if it's good enough or maybe includes an Infinity Gem then they will definitely be included in the line-up for the second part. We have Thor's friends Korg, Mik and Valkerie. They are only in the maybe because Thor seems to be alone on the Milano but they just might tune in. And lastly, Peter Parker's friend, Ned.

Theory

This short paragraph will be explaining one character that could be included. In the comics he is someone who is very important to Infinity War which sees him created by Thanos and turning against him to join the Avengers. This unusual man is Adam Warlock, whose creation in the films does not follow the comics as he is created by the Sovereign Fleet at the end of GOTG2. The comics also show him with his funny, small sidekick called Pip the Troll, so he could be in it as well, although Pip's characters is so comical and fantasy based I think he's unlikely to be included. Also Adam's not in the trailer so if he does appear at all, I reckon it will be in Part Two.

Total amount:

So altogether the final result of costumed characters crazily cavorting and capering in continual combat *quote from Fantastic Four #3* is; there are 26 definites with 9 more that I think might appear. The next question we have to ask is how many villains will be in the movie, but I'll worry about that another day. If there are any others you think could appear put it in the comments. For now all I can say is enjoy Infinity War when it comes out! Opening date: Midnight 25th April! I have my tickets. Do you?

Doctor Strange timeline


The latest MCU release-Doctor Strange-was a great success, and all Marvel fans enjoyed Benedict Cumberbatch playing the well known Stephen Strange. The film answered the question of wheres the Time Gem but we're still wondering what the actual year Doctor Strange is set in.

Evidence and references.

There has been many references to the film in previous Marvel movies, like in Captain America the Winter Soldier where a Hydra agent says "Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange" and in Toby Mcguires Spider-man 2 when there listing names for Dr Octopus. They say Dr Strange as one of the options but J.J Jameson quotes "Taken". Some even believe its set in the future because of an incident before the car crash in the film. Stephen is talking to his work mate about upcoming patients and one is a young girl with a spine injury and most think that shes Captain Marvel. Ignoring all of this evidence, on Doctor Stranges' watch it says 2016 so it could be set in the actual time it was released. What do you think?
