Infinity War Most important players/ characters in Infinity War

I'm up to date on AOS. I don't expect either AOS' inhumans or the Inhumans (Black Bolt, Medusa, etc.) to be a part of IW.

For the former, I just think that there are already enough heroes to throw at Thanos without needing to call folks up from the TV show. Maybe Skye and one or two others cameo, but I can't see them getting a significant role.

For the latter, I don't think there's any way to properly introduce them and their mythos without somewhat sidetracking the IW movies. I think the first time we see Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal and co. will be in the Inhumans movie. (Or maybe a post-credit scene.)

I could be wrong, of course, but I just don't see the Inhumans having a presence in either IW movie.

They have already introduced part of their mythos. We know they exist. We know that they were created by the Kree. We know that they exist in secret and have some form of social structure. AOS wont leave it at that. We have 4 years before the Inhumans film will come out. I think we'll see a bit more of them beforehand.

Will they have a presence in the IW films? I don't know. I also agree that BB etc... will be saved for their film. We will probably see a few others though.

I can't say the same for the TV characters but I think I can safely say Spider-Man, Strange, Captain Marvel, Avengers(definately Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man and possiby excluding Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Black Widow, and Hawkeye), Black Panther, the main Inhumans(especially Black Bolt without a doubt) and the Guardians of the Galaxy will appear.

 

[DareDemon]

I want Kang to be an important player in part one at least. Cmon, he's the perfect intro to the Time Gem/Stone.

 

[jaqua99]

Thanos :P

 

[ernesth100]

I would all for Kang. Kang was awesome in EMH.

 

[Grabes30]

I'd give my right arm for Silver Surfer to show up, but even if "FF: In Name Only" bombs, there probably isn't enough time for that to happen.

 

[ernesth100]

There's always enough time. Just ask Kang.

The big four: Cap, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man
The next four: Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Dr. Strange.
The other four: Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow
The Guardians
Brief appearances from Coulson, Skye and Black Bolt (cameo)
The villains: Thanos, with Nebula showing up.

Correction.

It's true that the characters are as useful as the writers/script makes them out to be, but it has to fit within some frame of logic. BW taking on an army of Ultron bots with a pistol is already stretching the bounds of reality. I'm not saying her character or Hawkeye will be completely useless, but due to the very nature of the threat, the most important characters will be the leaders who assemble the various teams together, and the cosmic based heroes with the most power and know how to defeat Thanos.

Just.... have some superhero locked in some super jail... Banner. Have Banner like gamma imprisoned and the world governments refuse to release him so Black Widow breaks in because we're not fighting Thanos without the Hulk. Boom. Usefullness. Just because Thanos is the threat doesn't mean everyone has to fight him. Surely they will still need spies and scientists and the likes.

 

[Khonshu]

I think that it'll have to be ALL of the properties in a two film stretch. I still can't wrap my head around how they will pull this off.

Cap, Iron-Man, Thor, and Hulk - yes.
Vision, Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Bolt, and the Guardians - yes. (Beta Ray Bill?) Loki?

The rest of the extended MCU, while all cool in their own right, would need to be bit part appearances, I think. But this is half the fun - seeing how the writers will integrate these new versions of the heroes and how to incorporate them in a cosmic-level story.

 

[ernesth100]

These are the characters I can see.

I don't see Black Widow, Hawkeye, any SHIELD characters or previous villains or any of the Netflix heroes appearing in Infinity War


Mainly just certain Avengers, Vision, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Ms. Marvel, Black Panther and maybe Black Bolt.


That's about it.

 

[Joesh]

I think they will end up sacrificing some major players for cameos or background roles, or have particulars granted a major role only in one of the 2 parts.

It's Captain Marvel. Her solo movie is Captain Marvel. She will not be called Ms. Marvel in the movies.

There will be too many awesome characters with powers to focus on the "little people" such as BW and Hawkeye. I'd expect them to take a backseat to the more major characters in this film.

It's a good thing you have a copy of the script.

Black Widow has been a major character for multiple films. They're not just going to haphazardly abandon her when she's been there from the team's inception. And in fact Feige's line about how they're going to continue using Black Widow and Hulk in other films would indicate the exact opposite. And that goes for Hawkeye as well. They're simply not going to finish off the Avengers storyline that's been brewing since the first film and not include two of the team's founding members.

We get it. You don't like Black Widow (and you make sure to mention this in every flarkin' thread related to the MCU) but that doesn't somehow mean she's not going to appear. And for the umpteenth time, if this is just about "Who can punch Thanos in the face" then that disqualifies a huge chunk of the characters we've seen so far. The writers are smarter than that. This isn't going to be 4 hours of mindless punching.

The fact that you have to turn everything into some screed about how you don't like Black Widow and think she sucks and should be done away with to make way for Captain Marvel is kind of unnecessary and annoying. Especially since there's nothing to say there's a limit to the number of women that can be in the film.

Avengers: Infinity War Script

Movie opens with Starlord and Iron Man punching eachother. Thanos comes and Starlord and Iron Man grunt and summon their teams. Cut to 45 minutes of fists flying everyhere punching random characters.

Best. Script. Ever.

I never said that Black Widow or Hawkeye wouldn't be in Infinity War, but with all the characters Marvel is introducing in phase 3, and possibly the Guardians, I would expect them to take a smaller role.

Four hours of mindlessly punching things are two Hulk movies with no Bruce Banner. Not sure where you're going with this. I seriously doubt the heroes would stand in line to punch Thanos. Sure, no one can take Thanos singlehandedly, but you're going to want to and your strongest heroes against him, and not the superspy with two pistols. Again, I'm not saying she won't be in either films, but I don't expect her to play as big of a roll as she did in Avengers 1 and 2.

A couple of sentences hardly qualifies as a screed. I never said BW should be killed to make way for Captain Marvel. I don't know where you're getting this from.

 

[MbJ]

The logical conclusion the repeated "The heavy hitters are gonna be the ones that matter because this is Thanos!" argument. Chances are Thanos is not going to be the only one fighting and chances also are that the plot is going to involve much more than people trying to fist fight Thanos.

So while yes to a certain extent it will likely feature people like Thor and Hulk in large roles, so far the two preceding Avengers films have had a lot more to the plot than the ending fight. There's no reason to assume "the little guys" as you call them are gone or shafted just because they're not gonna be able to punch out Thanos.

Again, if our sole measuring stick here for an Avenger is how well they could do in a fight with Thanos that eliminates the vast majority of the team, as well as several of the newer and upcoming heroes.

 

[ernesth100]

For some reason I think they'll play the whole "Nick Fury Knows Everything" card. Ya know kinda like in Original Sin. He already knows about the Thanos and thus that would play a role in having him and smaller characters like Black Widow, Daredevil and Hawkeye and other Agents of SHIELD. Maybe the rest of the Defenders getting prepared for it in the first film. In the seond film the Heavy Hitters can come along and help out in stopping Thanos.

That's about it.

I love Black Panther and all, it just feels weird to single out Black Widow as not even worth an appearance when she's got the same skills and nearly same power level and has appeared in more MCU films.

 

[ernesth100]

Yeah that was incredibly stupid if me. But read my recent post

First Film- SHIELD and Street LevEl Heroes try to come up with a plan to stop Thanos and maybe even his henchmen if he brings some along after hearing about heroes like Hulk and Thor.


Second Film-Finally getting over the mistrust of Civil War and teaming up with the Gaurdians the heavy hitters set out to not just fight Thanos but moreso distract him while the plan is in progress. Meanwhile the Street Level Heroes fight his henchman all to buy SHIELD time to set up something that will defeat Thanos or get off the Ininity Gauntlet.


It may not happen like that but point being EVERYONE will be involved in one way or another especially in a two parter. As the classic saying goes "It's all connected."

I don't know too much about Black Black Panther, but he has bested Captain America in hand to hand combat before. I think the Panther deity grants the newly bestowed Black Panther extra powers. He's significantly above BW in power levels.

 

[ernesth100]

Of course he is. But he was trying to say Black Widow has just as good a chance/reason of being involved in Inifinity War as Black Panther. Which I agree with.

 

[fixxxer]

At some point, one just has to own it. Just say "yes, I have some seemingly creepy vendetta against BW... because reasons" and move on.

 

[ernesth100]

I don't see how anypne could have a vendetta against a fictional character but okay.
