Potential Title / Source Material


All I've heard thus far is that the title of the film is itself a spoiler. What thoughts do any of us have as to what that title could be?

I'm not a reader of the comic, but perhaps some who are have some ideas? What happened in the comic version of the Infinity War, and immediately thereafter?

"The Infinity Crusade."

And now it is here: Endgame.

Apart from Annihilation, this was the title that was being predicted by many. Of course, “End game” is something Strange notably said in Infinity War (guess it is spoiler-ish). And while it’s highly unlikely they planned so far ahead and what not, in Age of Ultron Tony also spoke these words. Looking back at it now, it’s great foreshadowing.

I don't remember tony saying that in Age of Ultron.

“That up there... that’s the endgame.”


Notice how he points up at the sky when he says it? After what happened in Infinity War (and what might happen in Endgame), this is... whoa.

Given potential time travel plots, that "endgame" battle might actually end up being the Endgame crux of this film.

I wonder if it clicked in Tony's mind when Doc Strange said "End game"?

Not that it would have signaled to Tony of what he has to do, besides survive, in order to carry out the plan or even "A" plan. Maybe Strange saw something at that time by going back into time when Tony made that statement.

Now that makes this line all the more interesting. I have wondered if anything that happened in Age of Ultron (Tony’s vision for example) will have an impact on Endgame. Considering set photos of Endgame have shown the events of The Avengers being revisited, then AOU having a tie-in to the upcoming movie is conceivable.
