It is likely that we will never stop discovering new things about the Infinity Saga, but it is also very likely that it will take a long time to see a series of films on the scale of the first three stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a satisfying climax as the Avengers were. : Infinity War “and” Avengers: Endgame “. In the latest film of this phase, which became the highest-grossing film in history for a few months, the superheroes finally defeated Thanos, but devastating casualties were not spared on the side of the good guys..
Now the Russo brothers, directors of the last two Avengers films, have revealed that the film was going to be much more difficult. While in the theatrical version we had to say goodbye to Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans) would live with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in an alternate timeline, the president of Marvel Studios at one point was in favor of killing the original six Avengers.
“There were a lot of rumors about who would die. Kevin (Feige) suggested, at one point, that we delete all the originals. We thought it was too aggressive and audiences wouldn’t be able to process it. And that, in fact, choosing one or two characters to make sacrifices throughout the film would give you moments in which the action could stop and you could have an emotional catharsis and then continue with the narration.” Joe Russo explained in the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
what we would have missed
Would you have been able to process the deaths of the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) as well? The three characters continue to have a starring role in Phase 4, the first of the current Multiverse Saga. The Asgardian recently released “Thor: Love and Thunder” in theaters, Clint Barton had his series on Disney + last Christmas and on August 18th Bruce Banner will join his cousin in “She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka”the new series of the House of Ideas for the streaming platform.
