Five hidden messages in the official Avengers: Endgame poster

Marvel Universe movies are very good at hiding Easter eggs and foreshadowing, often leaving hidden information in public promotional materials. This movie poster released not long ago is likely to hide key information, waiting for the audience to continue to discover.

IGN's editors have racked their brains over this poster and found every possible clue. Here are five messages hidden in the "Avengers 4" movie poster.

1. Thor

Thor may not take up the largest part of the frame, but he stands out because of his unique pose. Almost everyone in this poster is looking to the right and in front of them, only Thor is looking in the opposite direction. This may seem like an aesthetic consideration to balance the composition, but it's different if you consider the plot of Thor: Ragnarok. It can be said that in a way, the whole thing about the finger snap is his fault.

Although it's unfair to blame him like this, he must have some guilt about himself. You can see in the trailer that Thor has hardly acted with any of the team members (except for the first time he met Captain Marvel), and he didn't appear in the group photo of the Avengers wearing new costumes. So the most reasonable explanation is that he is like in the poster, with different ideas and no plans from others. Thor's storyline in "Avengers 4" is likely to revolve around his guilt and then seek personal revenge on Thanos. The other protagonists want to save the lives that disappeared when they snapped their fingers. Maybe the difference in Thor's motivation and goals is reflected in the direction he faces in the poster.

Of course, the direction Thor is facing may not have any special significance at all, but before the official release of "Avengers 4", what else can we do but look for clues from the poster?

2. Okoye

Okoye's posture is also strange, and she is also looking to her left. From the plot point of view, she is not with the other members of the Avengers. After the snap, Wakanda is without a king, and there may be turmoil in the country. While the other members of the Avengers are running around, Okoye is probably going to maintain order in Wakanda, so her goal is also different from others.

There is also clear guilt in her posture. Although she can't stop Thanos, her job is to protect the king. For a character who is loyal and dedicated to her duties, the death of the king is unacceptable to her. She must feel that she has failed the king, failed the royal family, and failed the people of Wakanda. So she, like Thor, faces a different direction from the others because their goals are completely different from the Avengers.

3. Thanos

Thanos' figure looms behind the protagonists with an ominous atmosphere, but it should be noted that Thanos is wearing a full set of armor. But at the end of Avengers 3, we see that Thanos has retired to the fields. And in the trailer of Avengers 4, we also see that Thanos' armor has been made into a scarecrow and stands in the field. This should also hint at his pastoral life.

So why did Thanos put on the armor again? There may be two explanations.

In Avengers 3, Thanos took off his armor after collecting two Infinity Stones, which means he was strong enough and did not need the protection of armor. If he put on the armor again in Avengers 4, it might mean that he lost most of his abilities. Although the Infinity Gauntlet may have been worn out, it still has the ability to heal Thanos' chest wound and allow him to teleport away instantly. So the Infinity Gauntlet can definitely still be used, but the power may not be enough to face the strongest heroes from Earth. So he has to wear armor.

Another possible explanation is that the Thanos on the poster is actually the Thanos in the past. After all, the most widely accepted rumor is that Avengers 4 will involve time travel. So the Thanos on the poster is the Thanos before the timeline of Avengers 3.

4. Captain Marvel

Carol Danvers may be the most anticipated character in "Avengers 4". There is little information about her, which makes her very precious. This is the first time that Captain Marvel appears in a poster with other Avengers, but her costume in the poster lacks the golden decoration on her shoulders compared to the costume in the first post-credits Easter egg of "Captain Marvel".

We know that this Kree-tech suit can change its appearance at will, so this difference could just be a casual change - no way. How could it be a casual change? There must be a story behind it. Maybe it was just a change of suit. So now the question is, what happened after the end of Captain Marvel and before the beginning of Avengers 4? Why did Captain Marvel change her suit? Why was Captain Marvel wearing civilian clothes in the scene where she met Thor?

5. The Hulk

Although Captain America stands in the middle and occupies the largest frame, the Hulk is the center of the entire poster. All other characters are arranged around him. In fact, "Avengers 4" will be the last part of the Hulk's "trilogy", and we are likely to see what happens to this strongest Avenger.

There was a concept illustration showing the Hulk (not Dr. Banner) wearing the white battle suit shown in the trailer, so the Hulk will definitely appear in the final battle and compete with Thanos again. Of course, this requires the Hulk to give some face and come out to fight.

According to the latest news, there are extra shots in the trailer of Avengers 4, so the content in the trailer may not be used as evidence. But the information revealed in the poster should be carefully hidden. If you have any other clues, please leave a message to discuss.
