Half of the surviving heroes turned to dust before our eyes, leaving a handful of Avengers (and Rocket) to try and save the day.
But which characters were saved seems very purposeful, and likely teases how Avengers 4 will honor Joss Whedon’s original movie.
10 years of filmmaking and 18 movies came to a head with The Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Infinity War, and ended the shared universe as we know it.
The film followed Thanos’ complex journey to accrue the Infinity Stones and wipe out half of the galaxy’s population, and the shocking cliffhanger ending showed him actually succeed.
