With the announcement and green lighting of Avengers: Infinity War, the preceding Marvel films will be vitally important, as they will lay the final foundations, to potentially the most epic superhero story ever committed to film.
As you've probably noticed by now (and if you haven't check out the centre image) most of the latter Marvel films are including some sort of gemstone in their narrative (and if you want to be in the dark as to what they are stop reading here!), each of which contain a specific and serious amount of power. Imagine combining all those powers into one central unit - one iron glove and what you have, other than a reason to be very nice to whoever wears it, is the Infinity Gauntlet - a uniting of energies that can control time, space, the mind, the soul, reality and power. Suffice to say, whoever wields this glove is basically going to run the universe or even universes and if the bearer is malevolent, it will take more than the villains and heroes of the X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four combined to make a half way decent stand.
But before we get to the Infinity Wars, what sagas and characters are we going to be seeing in the lead up to what should be the most epic superhero film ever made.
| CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR We are quite used to seeing a clear and present danger appear where we need heroes to diffuse it. But what happens when the good guys have an issue with other good guys? In the original comic book story, an act of aggression by a powered one causes the government to introduce the superhuman registration act. This law means all superheroes will be catalogued and categorised in terms of identity and abilities. In short, Iron Man is for this, Captain America is for that and they end up going to war with other heroes and villains picking sides culminating in an a epic stand off. Heroic cast for the film: Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Captain America, Agent 13, Iron Man, Hawkeye, The Winter Soldier, Vision, Antman, Crossbones, Black Panther, Baron Zemo, Falcon, War Machine, Spiderman and there should be more coming. |  |
"Once Marvel gets used to having characters cross over, it will take the superhero movie to new realms!"
THOR: RAGNAROK
During a time when Thor was presumed dead, Tony Stark, Reed Richards and Hank Pym (the real Antman and inventor of Ultron) decide to invent a cyborg version of Thor, does this sound like a bad idea or what? This new Thor still retains all the skills and powers of the real deal, except that Mjolnir, his mallet of power is a newly crafted piece of tech made from vibranium and adamantium. Let's just say all does not go as planned. Oh and did I forget to mention that he first appears in Civil War? (Ragnarok Norse Myth)

 INHUMANS If you've been watching the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Skye's story line then you'll get how the inhumans have come about. If you're in the dark >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2 The A-Team of the universe are returning and because the universe is expanding, there is a good chance that you may see a particular character in other Marvel movies. Once Marvel gets used to having characters cross over, it will take the superhero movie to new realms! | CAPTAIN MARVEL: Not to be mixed up with DCs version and making her cinematic debut is Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, a USAF officer who has her DNA exposed to Kree DNA and becomes a super-powered force for good. Her powers include super strength, endurance and stamina, flight, invulnerability to toxins/poisons and a sixth sense with the added ability to tap into stellar forces. (Connection to Rogue of the X-Men) BLACK PANTHER: Hailing from the fictional African land of Wakanda, T'Challa aka The Black Panther is the chieftain of the Panther tribe, whose history includes a life changing meteorite crashing into their homeland. The meteorite that fell upon them was pure vibranium and so the Wakandanese in their wisdom mixed their natural resources in combination with advanced material to create new technology. They had to become a secretive people due to the world's interest in vibranium and this has led to making their warrior training even more formidable to defend themselves against vibranium hunters. T'Challa is a skilled strategist, hunter, tracker, acrobat, gymnast and martial artist who has also honed senses as well as olympic level stamina, endurance and strength. He wields a vibranium powered suit and all of this is under the a mind that has genius level intellect. DR. STRANGE I for one am looking forward to this project hitting the big screen as it will be the first taste of magic that Marvel or any superhero film, has brought to the silver screen in a big way. Dr. Stephen Strange is a brilliant neurosurgeon, who only cares about his career, wealth and fame. Finding himself in a car accident, his hands, his pride and joy are damaged beyond repair and he no longer has the 'tools' to function in his all important career. |
Hitting many lows including becoming a back alley, quick-fix, dodgy doctor, Stephen embarks on a journey around the world looking at both conventional and alternative solutions to restore his hands. It is this quest that leads him into a mystical adventure that enables him to become formidable magician; The Sorcerer Supreme. He wields a kind of power that nobody has seen against dark forces that this dimension has never had to fight.
