Captain America 4 The Last Avenger - Official Movie Trailer - 2021
The odds of a secret, fourth Captain America big-screen installment hitting theaters in the first week of May (or the last week of April these days) in 2020 are long. Crazy long. Like Steve Rogers’ lifetime at the end of Avengers: Endgame looooooong. That a major film studio could essentially sneak in the production of a whole feature film under the noses of the entertainment press is straight out of the extreme corners of the YouTube conspiracy-verse.

But man, would it go a long way to answering some Marvel Cinematic Universe questions that have been nagging for a while now (that Marvel Studios is intentionally maintaining radio silence on) along with answering some brand new questions raised by Endgame. In particular, questions stemming from its closing segment focused on Cap/Steve and the lifetime he spent with Peggy Carter after returning all the Infinity Stones to their rightful timelines.

As we’ve detailed before, Marvel Studios’ silence about their release schedule post-July’s Spider-Man: Far From Home isn’t just out of character for them, it’s practically the mirror opposite of their successful playbook up to now. More than any other studio (we’re looking at you, Warner Bros.), Marvel Studios has managed to build excitement just by smartly identifying their schedule to make it easily digestible so fans to know what’s coming and how it all fits together and by using their trademark credits kickers and ‘Will Return’ title cards to build momentum.

We’ve been writing off Marvel not officially revealing anything past 2019 as backdoor marketing for Endgame - them wanting to maintain a sense of mystery and to not promote any indirect spoilers. But now that Endgame is out, something doesn’t seem to be immediately adding up. Because we do know something about the future.

By various industry reports, Eternals is gearing up for production later this year. As a new-to-the-MCU and by any standard obscure Marvel property, it was always something of an unlikely fit for Marvel’s premiere, tent-pole May-April release. That’s been populated by established ensemble franchises each of the last five years. But that could maybe be interpreted as confidence in the material (it is an ensemble), and/or an increased tolerance to risk in a box office world in which Endgame may wind up being the #1 film of all-time.

But Marvel films usually begin production close to a year or more before release, and Eternals doesn’t seem on that course. The November, 2020 or February, 2021 release seems like a more organic fit for a number of reasons.

The other seeming candidate is Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow solo/presumed prequel film. That seems like it might be close enough to a production start to make a late April, 2020 release, but that’s not quite an obvious fit either.

Perhaps they’re banking on the poignancy of Johansson’s ‘return’ to launch Black Widow into a Captain Marvel-like box office mini-monster (maybe). Perhaps Marvel is banking on fans turning out for what they consider a long-overdue opportunity for the original Avenger (better). Perhaps they just have a narrative trick up their sleeves to make a Black Widow set in the past essential to the future of the MCU (yes, please).

But it still doesn’t ‘feel’ like the summer-opening blockbuster.

Remember, the last time Disney spun a (and this is the key here) beloved-but-recently-perished member of an iconic ensemble into a “solo” prequel, it didn’t quite work out as planned.

And not for nothing, but fans have known about it (and Eternals) and the fact Black Widow is likely a prequel for some time now - and nothing in Endgame really alters those dynamics.

So by holding out until the 13th hour to announce the May film; by not offering any credit teasers; by not even offering any ‘X Will Return’ title cards, Marvel Studios is just increasing the anticipation and is running the risk of the news feeling somewhat anticlimactic/underwhelming when finally revealed.

Unless…

Wait for it... we’re not there yet.

We thought we understood why there were no credits teasers or title cards in Endgame. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo seemed determined to make this a true finale and not just a finale-slash-infomercial for the future of the MCU.

This was Black Widow’s goodbye. Sort of.

This was founding father Tony Stark’s goodbye.

There was little to no exposition about the future of the Avengers.

This was all about the original six’s signatures on the screen without stepping all over it with a future tease immediately following.
