Infinity War made some earth-shattering changes to the MCU status quo that set the stage for everything that will happen in its sequel...
Consider this your final spoiler warning.
Avengers 4 release date

The untitled Avengers movie will be out in the UK on April 26, 2019, and in the US on May 3, 2019.
That puts its release date almost exactly a year after Infinity War. Between those two films we will be getting Ant-Man and the Wasp (in 2018) and Captain Marvel (earlier in 2019).

We're still waiting to learn the title, which was originally given as 'Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2'.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige hinted that the title of the movie could be a spoiler. 'Avengers: Half the Universe is Dead', perhaps? He has since said that he regrets not revealing the name sooner, feeling that speculation detracted from the attention given to Infinity War – although not enough to prevent it from receiving the biggest opening weekend of all time.
The current rumour is that it will be called 'Avengers: End Game', but we might not get confirmation of that until the end of 2018.

Avengers: Infinity War had the biggest superhero movie cast ever, and even though a load of them are apparently dead, we still expect most of those actors will be back for part two.
The Infinity War survivors are sure be back – that's the somewhat ragged looking lineup of Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Chris Evans (Captain America), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), and perhaps the unaccounted for Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts) and Letitia Wright (Shuri).
Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) will make a return along with Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Michelle Pfeiffer (the other Wasp) and thus, presumably, Michael Douglas (Hank Pym). Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan) has also filmed scenes for the movie.
Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Groot (Vin Diesel), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) will be meeting the Avengers for the first time in Infinity War. With Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 scheduled for Marvel Phase Four (and a load of other spin-offs teased by director James Gunn), we rate the young team's chances of coming out unscathed relatively highly.But there are a bunch of them, and if anyone is going to be shuffled off it will probably be Nebula, whose tale of troubled father-daughter relations could be wrapped up with the defeat of Thanos. But we wouldn't put money on it.Verdict: Alive

And don't forget Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye (or is it Ronin now?). If he doesn't show up, people will riot.
Josh Brolin (Thanos) has been promised to return too, although he'll be in the market for some new sidekicks.
And what of our fallen heroes – Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Dave Bautista (Drax), Pom Klementieff (Mantis) and Groot (Vin Diesel)? Can they really be gone forever? Probably not.

Brie Larson's Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) – the MCU's most powerful superhero – was only hinted at in Infinity War. Her first appearance will be in the '90s-set Captain Marvel, after which she can finally join the other MCU heroes in Avengers 4.
Ty Simpkins, who played the kid Harley Keener from Iron Man 3, is reported to be returning too. And there's a rumour that Natalie Portman could even make an unlooked-for return as Jane Foster, who were led to believe survived the Infinity Snap.
Just don't expect Adam Warlock to make his debut.
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo are returning after Infinity War. Well, 'returning' isn't quite the right word, as they filmed the two movies back-to-back. And Brolin hinted that it might be their final project for Marvel.
Avengers 4 plot

Infinity War dealt with the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy battling against Thanos, who (with his lieutenants/children the Black Order) was out to collect those superpowered MacGuffins the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet in order to erase half the life in the universe.
And shock! horror! He succeeded!
Avengers 4 follows on from that in what we can only imagine will be a desperate attempt to restore to life everyone that turned to ash and disappeared.
We've been told that it's a different genre from Infinity War and that – according to Hemsworth – it will be "even more shocking". The stories were said to be separate enough that the original 'Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2' title had to be abandoned – although we would argue that Infinity War still feels like the first half of a longer story.

Speculation that the film could have something to do with the comic book event Secret Invasion – in which Earth was revealed to have been thoroughly infiltrated by shapeshifting Skrull aliens – has apparently come to naught. We're not surprised, even if the aliens are introduced in Captain Marvel.
The rumours of a time-travel plot feel more convincing than ever. How else to bring a load of superheroes back from the dead? The evidence for this includes various actors spotted in their old costumes, including Hemsworth holding Mjolnir and back in his wig.

Tony's BARF technology was thought to be an alternate explanation for their retro looks, but we're not sure how that could help undo Thanos's destruction.
We seem pretty convinced that our heroes will be back, right? Well, considering the two movies we know will follow Avengers 4 are a Spider-Man sequel and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, they'll be in for a hard time if most of their leads are still dead.
What we do know for certain is that the untitled Avengers movie will mark an ending to what will be an 11-year-old, 22-movie-long story at that point (kicked off in the distant past by 2008's Iron Man)
