It looks like Steve Rogers is going to have a lot more going on inAvengers 4next year. Rogers was a criminal in the time betweenCaptain America: Civil WarandAvengers: Infinity War. Though he was still on the run from the law during Thanos' gathering of the Infinity Stones, it was an all hands on deck situation andCaptain Americacame out of the shadows to try and stop the Mad Titan. Still, he didn’t ultimately have a ton of screen time inInfinity Warbut, according to co-writer Christopher Markus, that’s going to change in next year’s follow-up.
Christopher Markus co-wroteInfinity WarandAvengers 4with Stephen McFeely. The duo did a commentary track for theInfinity Warhome video release and, according to those who have already had the chance to check it out, the writer discussedSteve Roger’s big storythat will be part ofAvengers 4, saying that some characters, such as Cap, are going to be better served this time around. Here’s what he had to say.
“We have a unique opportunity here. There are certainly other movies that have done it, but we know we have two movies to tell character arcs. Some characters are going to be better served in the second story. I think it’s OK to say that Cap has a big story in the second one.”
It’s fair to say thatChris Evans' role as Steve Rogers inInfinity Warwas significant, even if it only consisted of about seven minutes on screen. However, since it’s down to the remaining heroes, Rogers being one of them, to get revenge on Thanos following his deadly finger snap, it sounds like Captain America will be getting his due in what will be the final movie in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As for what this story is going to be? That’s anyone’s guess at this point. There areplenty of theories floating aroundabout the story forAvengers 4, but since the movie doesn’t even have a title yet, it’s pretty tough to speculate as to what Cap is going to be up to. What we know for sure is, unless something crazy happens, this will be Chris Evans' last go as the character, which makes it both special and sad for fans. At least it sounds like he’s going to be sent off in fashion.
Anthony Russo and Joe Russo directedAvengers 4which,save for some reshootsthat have been taking place, was shot back-to-back withInfinity War.Avengers 4is set to arrive in theaters on August 23, 2025, as of right now, but a recent IMAX schedule suggests that Marvel and Disney could be bumping that release date up a bit. We’ll have to see how that plays out but you can pick upInfinity Waron digital right now, with the Blu-ray/DVD release set for August 14. This news comes to us courtesy ofCinema Blend.
