Marvel Thinks Keeping 'Avengers 4' Title Secret Has 'Backfired a Little Bit'

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige did reveal what it definitely won't be called.

With Infinity War's surprising ending, moviegoers can't help to think about the next Avengers film, slated to be released next year. More specifically, what the film will be named.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says the title is already chosen but they're not releasing it yet so Infinity War, which is breaking box office numbers, gets all the shine. "It's gotten completely blown out of proportion," Feige told Collider. "It will just be a name and the reason to hold it back was to keep the attention on Infinity War. That backfired a little bit because now everyone thinks what's the name of the next one gonna be? But it was really just to keep the focus [on Infinity War]."

Feige also said there will be a clear connection between Infinity War and Avengers 4. "It will be quite evident that the films obviously connect, as all our films do, but this in particular connects very directly," he said. "And then we changed the Part One and Part Two, we said let’s just keep this Infinity War and we'll talk about the next movie later. We had done things in the past that had taken attention off of whatever the film at hand is because we talked about this. For instance, Infinity War announcing before Ultron came out, and it worked out, it was fine, but it felt like let’s keep the attention on the film at hand."

But one thing is for sure—the next film will not be called Infinity Gauntlet. Feige said the rumored title is his "favorite wrong theory about Avengers 4." The ruling is still out on Avengers: Assemble.
