Time to analyze it to a fare-thee-well!
Although you could tell quite a bit from Coming Soon’s cast list:
Confirmed cast members for the untitled fourth Avengers film so far include Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olson, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Pom Klementieff, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Sean Gunn, Tom Holland, Paul Rudd, Jon Favreau, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Evangeline Lilly, Katherine Langford and Josh Brolin.
Gee. Some of those names look awfully… surprising, no? Well, for given values of ‘surprising.’ I don’t really think that any of my readers are going to be shocked if it turns out the bad guy doesn’t end up winning after all.
All of those actors are being brought in for flashbacks, obviously.
Lots and lots of flashbacks.

…How many literal billions’ worth of IP are we talking about, here? Two, three? All y’all really think the Mouse will just leave that on the table? 🙂
Of course not! I fully expect a comic book style ‘deus ex’ .. and am fairly certain Dr. Strange will play a major role.

It .. amused me .. but I doubt they’ll burn *that* much IP .. the goal is for “superhero popcorn movies” to become a .. constant part of the landscape.

If I can count on more gloriously silly movies like Thor: Ragnarok and the Ant-Man films, I’m down with that. Show me fun things, Hollywood. That’s what I want.
