It's been just about two months w since Marvel Cinematic Universe was blown to infinity and beyond by actions of Thas, 'M Titan', who with one snap of his gauntleted fingers wiped out half life in universe, including a number of our favourite superheroes. end of Avengers: Infinity War shocked fans who h probably t expected a deviation from standard 'good guys win in end' device.

However, as final two Avengers films were always set to be a sort of one-two punch and were shot almost simultaneously, thoughts have turned towards how events of Infinity War would be reversed in Avengers 4. And w, in last week or so we've been given our first big clues about what is to happen next.

first clue was when 'promo art' from Avengers 4 was leaked, showing some of characters to have different 'looks' n earlier. Captain America is clean-shaven, Black Widow has changed her blonde hair, Hulk is wearing a black costume, War Machine looks like he's living up to his name, etc. ims gave us a sort of confirmation as to composition of anti-Thas force.

second clue was perhaps biggest one yet, when a prominent cinematographer who has worked on Marvel films directed by Russo brors, including Infinity War, listed name for Avengers 4 in filmography section in his website. As per that revelation, Avengers 4 would be called Avengers: End Game. This tallied with a popular fan ory that cited phrase having been used before, tably by Doctor Strange in one of his final dialogues before falling victim to Thas' snap as well as by Iron Man in a previous film.

And w, we've got a third clue and it's a bit more official. Allegedly official concept art released by artist Pete Thompson focuses on planet to which Thas retired after achieving his snap!

Let's rewind for a second: Thas is from a planet called Titan. However, at some point before events of Infinity War, Titan was destroyed and left in ruins, possibly because of excesses but also probably because of war (Thas h a hand in it, of that we can be sure). However, after Thor's Storm-breaker overpowered Thas and grievously injured him, but didn't stop 'snap', Thas went to two places. first was a red realm where child Gamora was seemingly waiting for him. And second was a beautiful planet where from on top of a hill, he watch sun rising on a 'thankful universe.' concept art that has been released is titled 'Titan Thas farm' which indicates that it was to his own planet that he went at end of film. However, since we kw Titan to be largely uninhabitable, it appears that re's some smoke and mirrors involved: 

Thas has possession of Reality and Time stones and could feasibly use eir of m to arrive at his 'farm'. Still, it would be unlike him to conjure up a mir of a bountiful and peaceful Titan like he did while speaking to Doctor Strange in Infinity War, as one would think Thas would like to bask in real triumph. This means Titan that is host to Thas' farm is real, which means he may have used Time stone. w, he can use it in two ways -- to go backwards in time or to go forward -- both of which are possible. Could it be that Thas' plan of wiping out half life in universe actually served its purpose? Was Titan restored because of his actions? Or is past where he sought refuge? Whatever it is, it appears certain that re would be some amount of time travel in Avengers: Eng Game (?).
