Here we go again: It looks like the next Avengers movie and Captain America 4 title have leaked, just days after the Marvel X-Men movie title was quietly dropped in a Deadline article. So, again, MCU chief Kevin Feige won’t be the man to reveal the title of the upcoming Avengers and Anthony Mackie’s first Captain America movie, during the Marvel Comic-Con panel. Instead, we learn about them from a brand leak.
On r/LeaksAndRumors (opens in a new tab) sub-Reddit (via TheDirect (opens in a new tab)), trademark filings published online reveal five title patents filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office – which were filed today (Friday, July 22). The patent titles of these potential upcoming Marvel movies and links to their respective repositories are as follows:
We’ve been expecting a new Captain America movie to arrive for a while, and we’ve been expecting a new Avengers movie (even though Feige said otherwise) bringing in the new Cap and other familiar faces (such as the new Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel).
The patents are intended for use on all sorts of products, including alarm clocks, address books, “heavy metal busts”, action figures, board games and card games. It’s the kind of extensive patents that suggest these names will go everywhere.
So, let’s break them down:
Avengers: Secret Wars
Earlier this week, since-killed rumors circulated that the Russos would direct a Secret Wars movie (opens in a new tab). In the comics, Secret Wars was a massive crossover, much like Infinity War and Endgame, which featured the Avengers and the X-Men, so you had everyone from Cyclops to Spider-Man, and even The Fantastic Four and many more.
Avengers: Kang Dynasty
As we know, Jonathan Majors is reprising but not reprising the role he debuted in the Loki series, He Who Remains, in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantummania, when Kang The Conqueror hits the MCU for real. . And it looks like he’s staying for good.
The Kang Dynasty is a 16-part Avengers comic arc that saw the destruction of the United Nations and battles between Kang and his son Marcus and the Avengers.
Captain America: New World Order
Can the world cope with a Black Captain America? That might be the subtext of Captain America: New World Order, but it’s been seen in our lives before as poorly worded tweets from The Hollywood Reporter (opens in a new tab) people confused on whether Mackie would be the new Cap (which was evident from the ending of Falcon and The Winter Soldier). Chris Evans (opens in a new tab)Steve Rogers himself, to declare that “Sam Wilson is Captain America”.
New World Order was the title of the first episode of Falcon and The Winter Soldier, so the connection to that will be obvious. Then again there was a wicked group called the New World Order (opens in a new tab) (Red Skull, Juggernaut, Mentallo, Piecemeal, Silvermane, Madman, and Absorbing Man) in the comics. But Cap didn’t fight them. The Avengers did it as a whole.
Multiverse Saga
Simply the likely name for this group of MCU films, after Infinity Saga – the first 23 MCU films from Phases 1, 2, and 3.
Love at first sight
Yes, the Thunderbolts are apparently gone. This movie has apparently been in pre-production for a while, as a deadline (opens in a new tab) the report suggested that Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank) was directing. The Thunderbolts are said to be a villainous group including US Agent (Wyatt Russell), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) and The Abomination (Tim Roth)
General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (William Hurt) founded the group in the comics.
Next: The new Rings of Power trailer seems far more valuable than House of The Dragon.
