How Avengers: Endgame Is Going To Change The MCU Forever

There's no doubt that the follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War will have a hugely dramatic effect on the Marvel landscape, especially for Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk, and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's characters. From the beginnings of a new era to the newcomers who’ll lead the franchise into the future, here are some of the many different ways that Endgame could change the MCU… forever.

The precise details of actors' contracts can be tricky to pin down, and it's only made more difficult with MCU stars thanks to Marvel's notoriously tight-lipped style of doing business. However, it’s clear that Endgame is the end of the line for at least some, if not nearly all, of the original six Avengers. Chris Hemsworth hinted in early 2018 that he was hanging up his hammer as Thor, while Chris Evans teased an emotional farewell in the fall of the same year. In addition, both Vanity Fair and Time have reported that Endgame finds all six actors either at or near the ends of their contracts.

There's always the possibility of renegotiation: Robert Downey Jr., for example, has already extended his contract multiple times. But odds are that, one way or another, Endgame is going to be the swan song for the saga’s original band of heroes. It's a heartbreaking truth, of course, as the MCU has largely revolved around these characters for over a decade. But with so many new adventures on the horizon, Marvel is sure to keep things exciting, even if it's hard to imagine a Marvel Universe where characters like Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow aren't getting in on the action.
