All in the MCU Set AFTER Thanos & # 39; Snap

The film universe of Marvel remains in shock after the end of Avengers: Infinity Warbut fans have learned a few things about the state of the MCU after Thanos' snap.

Since the Mad Titan won and wiped out half of the universe's life with the Infinity Gauntlet, the progress of the MCU has come to a halt until Avengers 4 pick up the pieces. Ant-Man and the wasp and Captain Marvel are prequelles set before or during War of infinityevents (in Captain Marvelthe case, two decades ago), and the Marvel TV series on Netflix have all put their second seasons in time before the Avengers meet Thanos. All this sets the stage for Avengers 4 to really be the end of the MCU while the fans know it … but the beginning of something new.

Since fans have no choice at the moment but continue to play the waiting game, War of infinity and other Marvel properties left for the following for the MCU. Here's all we know so far about the state of the MCU after Thanos slammed his fingers:

Thanos is happy now that he has won

War of infinity worked almost exactly as Thanos hoped. He won and achieved his ultimate goal: to kill half of life in the universe. Of course, his mission required a heavy price. All his "children" of the Black Order died thanks to the Avengers. Even worse for the Mad Titan, he had to sacrifice the life of his favorite daughter, Gamora, to get the Soul Stone.

The snap of the fingers cost Thanos too; at the end of War of infinityhe seemed to be cured of the wound that Thor and his ax Stormbreaker had inflicted on him, but in their director's commentary, Joe and Anthony Russo revealed that the snapping of fingers was definitely damaging Thanos' arm and the Infinity Gauntlet himself. This is not something that anyone in the MCU, much less than Avengers, is currently aware of, though. So, although Thanos could sit alone on Titan with a smile while he was looking at "sunset on a grateful universe " it can actually be weaker and more vulnerable than anyone realizes go into Avengers 4.

Avengers are in shock

The ranks of the Avengers were decimated by Thanos's snap and at the end of War of Infinity, heroes still alive remain divided by great distances: Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, James Rhodes, Bruce Banner, Thor and Rocket were seen to have failed to stop Thanos in Wakanda while Tony Stark and Nebula are the only living heroes on Titan. The emotional toll of seeing their friends and loved ones get lost before their eyes left the Avengers in shock.

Although their current situation is bleak, the Avengers still have positive points in their favor. They have allies to call like Hawkeye, who apparently survived the breakup of Thanos. Okoye and M & # 39; Baku are still alive, and it has been confirmed that Shuri has also survived, so that the most powerful heroes on Earth have the greatest genius of Wakanda and all their Vibranium technology to avenge the loss of King T & # 39; Challa. Stark and Nebula must simply reach Earth – and Steve and Tony must put their differences behind them – so that they can rally the Avengers and resume the fight.

Nick Fury called Captain Marvel before he died

We do not know if Nick Fury really understood what was going on during Avengers 3The post-generic scene when he and Maria Hill saw helicopters crashing into buildings and people around them melted into the dust. However, the main superspie of the MCU probably knew what the aliens were after on Earth, why Tony Stark had disappeared into space and that the Avengers were at war in Wakanda. After Hill had been dusted off, Fury recognized that the enormity of the upcoming crisis was finally the moment to contact Captain Marvel before he turned himself to dust.

The last shot War of infinity is Nick Fury's high-tech pager displaying Captain Marvel's colorful logo, indicating that contact has been made with the missing Carol Danvers. It remains to be seen if and how Captain Marvel will connect to the movies set up today and if it will contain a direct advance in its appearance in Avengers 4.
