These Fans Think They Have Avengers: Endgame All Figured Out

  Hawkeye is handing down his role to a newcomer

  There's a brief moment in the full-length Avengers: Endgame trailer in which Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) usually be teaching a young woman how to fire a bow. It may would be Clint's daughter Lila, who was first introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron, though her rapid age progression doesn't quite fit the timeline. Some fans are confident that it may indeed be Kate Bishop, who ends up taking on the role of Hawkeye in the comics. This might would be setting the stage for Bishop to take over in any future Avengers movies — and with a Hawkeye-centric series coming to Disney+ as a potential origin story for Bishop, this theory gains even more plausibility. Plus, Kate Bishop is rad as hell.

  There's another Infinity Stone somewhere

  This theory is grounded in truth, as there really is a seventh Infinity Stone seen in the Avengers comic books. While it was used only once in a crossover comic, it's still technically canon, although we haven't heard a peep out of Marvel about it. Yet that's segment of what makes this theory crazy enough to work. It's called the Ego Gem, and it also contains the essence of an omnipotent being named Nemesis. Any time Nemesis grew tired of existing, she determined lose essentially "sprinkle" herself while in two universes, with a segment of herself imbued in the shattered remains. Fans believe that the Avengers could come into the possession of some serious power in the form of the Ego Gem — with Captain Marvel wielding it. Captain Marvel is one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel universe, so it makes sense that trim have the ability to use it not just to conquer Thanos, however to undo the immense havoc the Infinity Gauntlet wreaked in Avengers: Infinity War.

  Loki didn't actually die

  Fans thought they had to mourn as soon as Loki was stabbed by Thanos, although that might not directly have been the case. Some theories indicate that since Loki tried to stab Thanos with his left hand as an alternative opposed to his right — he's routinely been presented as right-handed during the films — @we could have been looking at some categorize kind of projection or mirrored version of him, meaning the real Loki could still be alive and well.
  
  
  It's definitely plausible, given Loki's "trickster" personality and prowess any time it comes to subterfuge. Not to say, he also has a Disney+ series in the works – though that doesn't have to run in a concurrent timeline.

  There's an alternate universe

  We've all been laboring under the delusion that those dusted by Thanos in Infinity War were dead, once it's possible they could simply have been sent to another universe. One Redditor suggested that those seemingly lost in the battle with Thanos were simply sent to an alternate universe — potentially one located within a Infinity Stone (that's another theory entirely) — where their memories were wiped. So there's actually a chance that they've been stumbling around blissfully unaware of what happened to them all this time.
  
  
  The theory goes that the Marvel franchise as a whole could continue from here with the heroes in the other universe. If that were to just be being true, it should make for some interesting new ideas for future filmmakers.

  The Soul Stone contains all the supposed dead

  The Soul Stone is a little bit of a mystery. It wasn't revealed up until Thanos ended up sacrificing Gamora, who we know right now as one of the only things his cold heart ever loved (in his own unique way). Though Thanos wakes up with the Infinity Stone in-hand, we're not quite sure how he procured the Soul Stone to carry out it. Seeing that the movie easily skipped over this part, some theorize that Gamora didn't perish, although alternatively became the Soul Stone. Case in point, half of the universe that Thanos "killed" would be trapped indoor within the stone. Because like its name implies, the Soul Stone harbors souls.
  
  
  

  
  
  
  The Soul Stone is mentioned to be sentient, and can trap lost souls indoor in a global that feels, looks, and seems for all intents and purposes real. This is the Soul World, a plane where a character named Adam Warlock, who has although to prepare his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, dwelt for a long time in the comics. He eventually even brought Gamora there — so it could make brilliant sense that not only is Gamora in the Soul World, yet so are the rest of the people that faded into dust.

  Nick Fury has been planning Thanos's demise all along

  Nick Fury routinely seems to be one step ahead of the Avengers themselves, like Morpheus to their Neo. We know he was snapped at the end of Avengers: Infinity War as well as half of the universe's population, although fans think he could still have some group kind of plan cooking. That's what he does, right considering that. He solves problems and puts things in motion. It's possible that the Captain Marvel film was used as a catalyst to establish young Nick Fury as one crucial cornerstone of the full Thanos conflict — meaning he's habitually known Thanos could be coming and has been planning for his arrival ever since.
  
  
  The theory goes that Nick Fury somehow saw the future or some of the future's events right after Thanos's arrival on Earth — perhaps tipped off by a time-traveling Doctor Unconventional — which gave him a reason to start the Avengers initiative in the opening place. That would definitely explain why he routinely generally seems to have the answers, even any time Earth's mightiest heroes never. He's oddly prescient about things, almost to an eerie degree — so it might mean that he's been assembling the Avengers to conquer Thanos since the ’90s. We just have to trust him and watch it all come together.
