There's not even an end-credits tease for the next movie, which have become synonymous with the MCU, emphasizing the movie's finality.READ MORE: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-after-avengers-endgame-details-analysis-2019-3" data-analytics-position="5">The Marvel Cinematic Universe will enter an uncertain era after 'Avengers: Endgame,' but experts see a path for it to dominate another decade of pop culture</a>But while there is a finality to "Endgame," it's not a real finale. "Spider-Man: Far From Home" hits theaters in July, which Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said is the actual end to "Phase Three" of the MCU. And Marvel Studios already has eight release dates on the docket for yet-to-be-titled movies through 2022. Yes, "Endgame" phases out veteran actors, but it also sets the stage for bold new territory, and a more inclusive future."Put it this way: It's only the beginning," Feige told <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-captain-marvel-kevin-feige-inclusive-mcu-stan-lee-20190318-story.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+latimes%2Fentertainment+%28Entertainment+News%29" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Los Angeles Times</a> last month in regards to diversity.Steve Rogers/Captain America (played by Chris Evans) goes back in time to live a real life with his lost love Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), and, as an old man in the present, hands over the shield to Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie). Thor relinquishes leadership of the Earth-based "New Asgard" to Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson).<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5cc22100b14bf467661d8c25-1681/screen shot 2019-04-25 at 50409 pm.png" border="0" alt="falcon marvel" data-mce-source="Marvel Studios" data-mce-caption="Steve Rogers hands the Captain America shield over to Sam Wilson/Falcon in &amp;quotAvengers: Endgame.&quot;" />Marvel StudiosSteve Rogers hands the Captain America shield over to Sam Wilson/Falcon in "Avengers: Endgame."</div></div></div>Add to that the $1-billion-grossing "Captain Marvel" and "Black Panther," and that Marvel's first Asian superhero movie, "Shang-Chi," is in the works, and women and people of color appear to be the way forward for the MCU in a way they have never been before."We're at the point where Hollywood is paying attention to a demand for more diverse casts, and Marvel and Disney are clearly listening to it," Shawn Robbins, Boxoffice.com chief analyst, told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-after-avengers-endgame-details-analysis-2019-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Business Insider</a> earlier this month.But that's about the only clear thing about the MCU's future after "Endgame," which answers plenty of questions and raises even more.<h2>'Endgame' raises big questions about Marvel's future projects</h2>By the end of "Endgame," Vision remains dead, yet there is a "WandaVision" TV series in the works at Disney's upcoming streaming platform, Disney Plus, in which Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany will reprise their roles as Scarlet Witch and Vision, respectively. The same can be said of Tom Hiddleston's Loki, who will also star in his own series for the streamer.And a solo movie starring Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is in development, even though the character died in "Endgame."While most projects in the works have the potential to steer the MCU into uncharted waters, some will likely focus on the franchise's past.Black Widow's backstory has been teased numerous times, and her solo movie will likely explore that history. That also applies to Loki and "WandaVision," which <a href="https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/disney-wandavision-details-elizabeth-olsen-1203197323/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olsen recently teased could, somehow, take place in the 1950s</a>. (It's good to note, however, that there's a potential loophole in "Endgame" that could bring Loki back from the dead, in which his past self uses the space stone to teleport to an unknown location.)<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5cc1f003daa9a94487212183-1359/screen shot 2019-04-25 at 13527 pm.png" border="0" alt="avengers endgame" data-mce-source="Marvel Studios" data-mce-caption="&amp;quotAvengers: Endgame&quot;" />Marvel StudiosBlack Widow will star in a solo movie, despite dying in "Avengers: Endgame."</div></div></div>Then there's "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," another Disney Plus series in development starring Mackie and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes. Will this take place in the past or after "Endgame"? With Falcon expected to become the new Captain America, is the title a misdirection, or will we see him slowly step into the role?With "Endgame," audiences are facing something they've never had to face with the MCU before: uncertainty.We don't know what movies will take which of the eight spots on Marvel's release slate. We know of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-movies-after-2019-details-release-dates-2019-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">six movies in the works</a>, including the "Black Widow" solo movie and sequels to "Black Panther" and Doctor Strange," but Marvel Studios has yet to make any official announcements.READ MORE: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-of-major-events-in-history-of-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-2018-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We made a timeline showing the entire history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe leading up to 'Avengers: Endgame'</a>But that uncertainty is by design. Feige has promised that some questions will be answered and announcements will be made after "Spider-Man: Far From Home," and even that the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-feige-on-marvel-cinematic-universe-five-year-plan-after-endgame-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">next five years of the MCU are already "fleshed out."</a>He's expressed regret about revealing too much ahead of time in the past, particularly when the "Infinity War" title was revealed before 2015's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was released."'Ultron' hadn't come out at that point, and I felt a tiny little sense of, 'Well, gosh, we've gotta talk about the movies we have coming out next, because that's what we've been working so hard on and that's what's next available for our audience to see,' but when we talk that far ahead, that took a lot of attention out," Feige told <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/avengers-4-titles-mystery-has-backfired-says-kevin-feige-1105091" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> last year.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5cbf5fc1b14bf4273f332c45-1500/avengers endgame disney.jpg" border="0" alt="Avengers Endgame Disney" data-mce-source="Disney" />Disney</div></div></div><h2>Marvel Studios isn't in a rush</h2>Marvel isn't just taking its time making announcements. Next year, the MCU will slow down a tad with just two theatrical releases. Legendary comics writer Gerry Conway, who created Marvel's Punisher and wrote Carol Danvers' (Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel) debut solo comic, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gerry-conway-on-comics-marvel-cinematic-universe-netflixs-punisher-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Business Insider</a> that's a smart decision."We've had three Marvel movies the past couple years, and next year we'll have two," Conway said. "And even if that's only for a year, you're giving the audience a breather and building up anticipation for the next one."Building anticipation will be key for the MCU's future, especially after the Disney-Fox merger. Marvel Studios now has access to Marvel characters previously owned by Fox like the X-Men and Fantastic Four, but audiences shouldn't expect them to make their debut in the MCU right away (Fox's final "X-Men" movie, "Dark Phoenix," comes to theaters in June).READ MORE: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-movies-after-2019-details-release-dates-2019-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">There are 6 Marvel movies in the works for after 'Avengers: Endgame' - here are all the details</a>Feige wasn't even allowed to formally develop ideas for the characters until after the merger finalized last month."They could wait five, maybe even 10 years," Robbins said. "I think there's a strong argument to be made that the longer the wait, the more anticipation there will be for it. It gives these other Fox versions time to settle."Disney CEO Bob Iger has said the MCU will try a new franchise beyond "Avengers" in the future. Eventually, that could be the X-Men. But in the meantime, the MCU has no shortage of power players at its disposal, even if Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are out.Black Panther and Captain Marvel are barely in "Endgame," but have plenty of time to grow into franchise leaders, and the box office for their solo movies prove audiences are eager for that. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) appears to still be in the picture, and joins the Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of "Endgame," who are set to return in a third movie with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/disney-rehires-james-gunn-to-direct-guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-2019-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newly rehired director James Gunn</a>."10 years ago, nobody thought Marvel could pull this off," Robbins said. "It was a challenge then, and it will be a challenge now. They'd probably be the first to say that it's not an easy road ahead, but it's one that they know people want."Read more of Business Insider's "Avengers: Endgame" coverage:<ul><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-dominating-the-box-office-like-no-movie-in-history-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">'Avengers: Endgame' is dominating the box office like no other movie in history</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-is-even-better-than-infinity-war-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">'Avengers: Endgame' is a mix of a heist movie and revenge tale that is even better than 'Infinity War'</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-has-biggest-china-box-office-opening-of-all-time-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">'Avengers: Endgame' already broke the record for the biggest box-office opening in China of all time</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-opening-box-office-could-beat-infinity-war-2019-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">'Avengers: Endgame' is poised to shatter the opening-weekend box-office record</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-amc-theaters-open-24-hours-a-day-opening-weekend-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Demand is so high for 'Avengers: Endgame' that many AMC theaters will be open 24 hours a day all weekend</a></li></ul> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-2-details-you-missed-2019-4">14 details you may have missed in 'Game of Thrones' season 8 episode 2</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/VdHbfDFx-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>

'Avengers: Endgame' raises questions about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but gives plenty of clues

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Marvel" title_caption="Paul Rudd plays a charismatic goofball named Scott Lang in " Ant-Man.="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54aca7676da8115c3359827a-960/ant-man-costume-2.png"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54aca7676da8115c3359827a-1757-878/ant-man-costume-2.png" alt="ant man costume" data-mce-source="Marvel" /></a>MarvelPaul Rudd plays a charismatic goofball named Scott Lang in "Ant-Man."</div></div></div>"Ant-Man" doesn't have the same superhero appeal as Captain America, Iron Man, or Thor.He's not as big, or strong, or superpowered. But as the star of his first standalone film, people might soon look to Ant-Man as their favorite Avenger.The movie is lighthearted in every sense of the word. There's no overwhelming or incoherent plot line, and your enjoyment of the movie doesn't rely on seeing or enjoying the other Marvel films. It's also not about saving the world or the universe; sure, Ant-Man needs to stop a super-powered villain to save his daughter and stop an evil corporation from gaining a powerful weaponized suit, but the stakes aren't nearly as lofty as other Marvel films.The story is relatively straightforward: Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas, is a scientist who has created something called the "Pym particle," which powers the Ant-Man suit, capable of shrinking and growing back to normal size with the click of a button. But after Pym refuses to give his invention to the government agency S.H.I.E.L.D. - run by Tony Stark's father (played by John Slattery) and Captain America's love interest from the 1930s Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) - he starts his own company, which is eventually led by his protégé, the brilliant but headstrong Darren Cross (played by Corey Stoll).<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Marvel " title_caption="Corey Stoll plays Darren Cross, a genius who has created a superpowered shrinking suit to rival Ant-Man." class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54aca8b769beddef660a7cf5-960/corey-stoll-ant-man.png"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54aca8b769beddef660a7cf5-2228-1133/corey-stoll-ant-man.png" alt="corey stoll ant man" data-mce-source="Marvel " data-link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xInh3VhAWs8&amp;feature=youtu.be" /></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xInh3VhAWs8&amp;feature=youtu.be">Marvel </a>Corey Stoll plays Darren Cross, a genius who has created a superpowered shrinking suit to rival Ant-Man.</div></div></div>Years later, Cross is ready to unveil his own Ant-Man suit and sell it to the highest bidder: In this case, the evil corporation H.Y.D.R.A. But Pym is too old to use the suit to steal Cross' creation, and he doesn't want his daughter Hope (played by Evangeline Lilly) to use it. (There are some negative effects to using the suit over time.) So Pym seeks out Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd, an intelligent and even altruistic burglar - he robbed a millionaire who stole money from people and returned it to those folks. Lang is down on his luck after getting out of jail. But after Pym gets in touch with Lang and asks him to become Ant-Man, it's all a matter of training for the big heist.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54aca996ecad04140b6e9a30-2506-1225/flying-ants-ant-man.png" alt="flying ants ant man" data-mce-source="Marvel" data-link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xInh3VhAWs8&amp;feature=youtu.be" /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xInh3VhAWs8&amp;feature=youtu.be">Marvel</a>Ant-Man rides his trusty steed, "Antony."</div></div></div>The second half of "Ant-Man" feels like "Ocean's 11" or "Mission Impossible" mixed with superheroes and, uh, ants. A lot of different kinds of ants (four to be exact). But that's a good thing! While there are plenty of laughs in the first half of the film, the entertainment is certainly kicked up a notch in the latter half - complete with an enjoyable and somehow not cliché training montage, as well as some clever visual gags and some excellent Marvel fan service. It's a little predictable, but it's got some surprises everyone will enjoy."Ant-Man" achieves a rare balance that other Marvel movies have difficult achieving no matter how good they may be. Thanks in large part to Rudd, who is charismatic but also a total goofball, "Ant-Man" manages to be a hilarious movie, and an enticing visual marathon, but also emotional at the right times. Last year's "Guardians of the Galaxy" is the only other Marvel film that has come so close to achieving this kind of balance. You actually care about the characters, and you want them to succeed - even the side characters, played by Michael Peña, David Dastmalchian, and T.I. (yes, the rapper T.I.) add a strong dose of fun and variation.You don't need to be a Marvel fan to root for "Ant-Man." The film's final act will have you wanting more of Rudd, Douglas, and co. - and luckily for fans, the final line of the film before the lights come back on promises "Ant-Man will return." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/legend-trailer-with-tom-hardy-2015-6">Tom Hardy makes a crazy transformation playing identical twins in this new gangster movie</a></h3> <div> <div> <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/v3/6e12e8b3387a44daacfb73afba25a76e"></script> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="1uYjh4dTpwTQV0B9vjmmDX3JuE4LMeFF" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> <script> if (typeof RunFunctions === 'undefined') { var RunFunctions = []; } RunFunctions.push(function() { var ooyalapopvideo = OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer_popvideo', '1uYjh4dTpwTQV0B9vjmmDX3JuE4LMeFF',{ autoplay: 'false' }); }); </script> <noscript><div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div></noscript></div> </div> <script>(function() { function createPlayer() { OO.ready(function() { RunFunctions.forEach(function(ooyalaFunction) { ooyalaFunction(); }); RunFunctions = [];}); } createPlayer(); }()); </script> </div>

The last time the two leading Avengers were on screen together, they were trading punches over the registration of superhumans, which would essentially make the Avengers government employees. This initiative, called the Sokovia Accords, was started by the Secretary of State and Tony Stark after the devastating events in "Age of Ultron" and an incident early on in "Civil War" in which Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), who is still learning to control her powers, accidentally destroys a building with innocent people in it. Rogers is against the Sokovia Accords because of his mistrust of the government that essentially made him ("The safest hands are still our own"), while Stark is pro-registration ("If we don't do this now, it's going to be done to us later").Both heroes have fair arguments.It's the kind of debate that even rages on in our own real-world politics, which is what made "Civil War" so powerful. Rogers argued that the superhumans' right to choose would be stripped away by the Sokovia Accords, while Stark argued that their powers needed to be put in check in order to prevent the destruction of cities like New York ("The Avengers") and Sokovia ("Age of Ultron"). The debate between Cap and Tony sparked heated debates between the biggest MCU fans on Business Insider's entertainment team. Here, Business Insider's Carrie Wittmer and Travis Clark make their cases below - Carrie for Captain America, and Travis for Iron Man.<hr /><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5acd02ec146e7130008b4642-1409/captain-america-civil-war-iron-man.png" border="0" alt="captain america civil war iron man" data-mce-source="Marvel" />Marvel</div></div></div>Iron Man (Travis Clark)If you compare the superhuman registration debate in "Captain America: Civil War" to the real-world debate of gun control in the U.S., then the answer - at least in my eyes - is clear: Tony Stark is right. I'm going to get this out of the way early: I admittedly admire Captain America more than Iron Man. I think Cap's heart is always in the right place, whereas Stark's decision-making is consistently questionable.In fact, Stark is partly responsible for why the government proposes the superhuman registration in the first place. The destruction of the country Sokovia came during the battle with Ultron in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and Ultron was created by Stark. But if you focus on the debate itself more than the personalities or history of either of them, I can't deny Stark is on the right side of this one. The Avengers have proven to be national security threats just as much as they may save the world from destruction. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is not grounded in reality, but the conflict of "Captain America: Civil War" reflects a very real debate raging in America. If we compare super powers to guns, it becomes clear the Avengers have powers that need to be controlled. That's evidenced by the beginning of the film, when Scarlet Witch accidentally kills a group of Wakandan diplomats. A main argument against gun control is that it is a slippery slope to the government banning guns entirely. That's where Captain America's head seems to be at: He doesn't want to see his friends, like Scarlet Witch, at the government's mercy. He thinks he can better handle her than the government can.But Captain America, as good as his intentions may be, isn't thinking logically. At the end of the day, people like Scarlet Witch, the Hulk, and any other superhumans with both unimaginable power (and a lack of control) need to be controlled for the public's own good.Stark thinks it will happen eventually no matter what, and if he can get ahead of it, he can manage it. Stark is thinking logically, whereas Cap is thinking with his emotions. That's the biggest difference between them, and while Cap is admirable, this isn't a debate settled by emotion.Cap also wants to protect his friend Bucky Barnes, who is framed for an explosion at a United Nations conference in the movie. As noble and well-intentioned as this may be, at the end of the day Cap is putting the safety of one man over that of the public.So, as questionable as Tony's actions have been in the past, he's the one trying to do the right thing in "Captain America: Civil War."Your move, Carrie.<hr />Captain America (Carrie Wittmer)<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5acd098a689875bc368b4e68-1405/captain-america-civil-war.png" border="0" alt="captain america civil war" data-mce-source="Marvel" />Marvel</div></div></div>OK. You really got me on the gun control thing. I absolutely believe that purchasing a gun should be more regulated. But this is different because these are human beings. I understand the point you're trying to make, but I don't think it's fair to compare these people, whether they chose to be superhuman (Stark) or not (Bruce Banner/Hulk) to gun control. Before I continue my rant, I will also admit my bias: Although I absolutely love "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 3" (a Christmas movie!), I hate Tony Stark. I get that being an alcoholic jerk who wears tinted sunglasses is his thing, but his character hasn't evolved since 2008. The only thing that seems to change is his ego - which only gets bigger - and his relationship status with Pepper Potts, which if we're being honest is completely dependent on Gwyneth Paltrow's availability. You say that the Avengers are a security threat. This is true, but they're a threat when there is already a more dangerous threat out there. This is Cap's point, which is clouded in "Civil War" by his bond with Bucky Barnes and by his distrust of the government. But Cap's distrust of the government is fair: while S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a government entity, it might as well be, and it was literally run by HYDRA in the past. Remember Robert Redford in "The Winter Soldier?" He told Cap what to do, and he was the enemy the whole time. How can Cap and other heroes trust and fight for an entity that is so vulnerable?And what about the cases when one or more of our heroes see a threat, but the government either doesn't see it as essential, or they straight up don't believe them? If the UN, for example, doesn't see a worthy threat in the pink-headed man named Thanos who wants a bunch of stones so he can destroy half of the universe (very specifically not the whole universe), what are the Avengers going to do? Just let it happen? They most certainly will not. Cap is thinking logically because he's applying the limitations of the Sokovia Accords to his own experiences, like the mishap with Robert Redford that I already mentioned in "The Winter Soldier." And in "Captain America: The First Avenger," he goes on an unapproved mission in Germany to save Bucky Barnes, planned with the help of the late Agent Peggy Carter and Howard Stark.Stark is the one thinking with his emotions. His approach is completely rooted in ego, not a concern for humanity. Minutes into "Civil War," Stark meets a woman whose son was killed in Sokovia, and is so threatened by the idea that someone out there hates him that he goes straight to the Secretary of State behind his friends' backs, writes legislation, and simply throws it onto a table in front of them. Do superheroes need to be controlled? Yes! But the Sokovia Accords is not the right way. My solution: There is a lovely bald man named Xavier who has a very nice school in upstate New York, and Disney bought Fox so this can be in the MCU canon now.

It shows progression in his character that he would be pushed by the pain he sees in that mom who confronts him. It would be natural for anyone with a conscience. Are we supposed to condemn him for having a conscience? Stark has power and influence, and ever since the first "Iron Man" after he escaped captivity, he's been using that power and influence to better not only himself, but the world. He doesn't always make the best choices, but he at least learns from his mistakes. Captain America is so stubborn and rooted in his ways that he will stand by Bucky out of pure emotion. There's no place for such blind loyalty when national security is at stake. Stark's entire point is to get in front of registration and handle it on his terms before the government handles it on its - things would have been much worse if he hadn't.Carrie Wittmer: I'm not assuming that Stark is pro-registration because of his ego. I know he is. I understand that Stark's reasoning stretches beyond his own interests, but his ego is where it started, and it's the only reason he took any action in the first place. If the government initiated the Sokovia Accords on its own, "Civil War" would've been a completely different movie, more boring than any MCU villain, because I have a feeling everyone would be on Cap's side. Your points are great, but have not changed my mind because I disagree on Cap's motivations. Yes, he's trying to protect Bucky, but it's bigger than that. He knows the government has made the wrong calls before, and he's fairly anticipating that it will again.Can we still be friends?More on Marvel:<ul><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/marvel-cinematic-universe-recap-before-avengers-infinity-war-2018-4">All the MCU details you should know before seeing 'Avengers: Infinity War'</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/comics-to-read-if-you-love-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-movies-2018-3">12 comics to read if you love the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/zoe-saldana-slams-elitists-who-look-down-on-marvel-movies-2018-4">Zoe Saldana slams 'elitists' who look down on Marvel movies</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/marvels-netflix-series-are-boring-but-compelling-2018-3">Marvel TV shows are both compelling and boring at the same time</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/marvels-netflix-series-are-boring-but-compelling-2018-3">The 'Avengers: Infinity War' directors changed their Twitter profile pictures, and fans think it's a clue to Captain America's fate</a></li></ul> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-all-you-can-eat-restaurants-make-money-2018-3">How all-you-can-eat restaurants don't go bankrupt</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/PjNp4WhO-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>
