He's seen only one narrow path to victory for the Avengers, and just before he vanishes he tells Iron Man, "There was no other way." Okay, then when are they coming back? Without knowing much about her, though, it's hard to speculate too much about how she could factor into the aftermath.Īnd let's not forget that Doctor Strange seems to have a plan. We're also guessing that the cleanup for this mess will have something to do with Captain Marvel, whose introduction is teased in the end credits of Infinity War. In other words, it sounds like a tool that could come in really handy if you needed to bring back a bunch of dearly departed souls. Infinity War doesn't really make clear what the Soul Stone does, but in the comics, the Soul Stone has the ability to control, manipulate, and collect souls, and trap them in a sort of pocket universe.
Scarlet Witch actually succeeds in destroying the Mind Stone before Thanos can get to it, but he uses the Time Stone to go back in time and stop her.Īnother potential avenue to resurrection could be the Soul Stone. In fact, this is exactly how Thanos gets enough power to carry out his "kill half the universe" plot in the first place.
One possibility involves the Time Stone, which functions as a sort of time travel device. But how would they go about coming back from the dead?
But I'd bet on her recovering in time for Vol. Gamora and Vision seem like they could go either way. There's no real reason to assume Loki or Heimdall will be back their stories seem to have run their course and Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba seem ready to move on. Less certain is what'll happen with characters like Loki, Heimdall, Gamora, and Vision. I'm talking specifically here about Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. The major characters we might expect to die and stay dead – the ones who've been around long enough that their actor contracts are starting to expire – are all left standing at the end. You'll notice that the characters who were turned to dust at the end are either relatively minor characters (much as we like Scarlet Witch, it's really not that hard to imagine the Avengers without her) or major lead characters we know are due back for sequels (there is no way Black Panther stops at just one solo feature). While Thanos may have chosen these deaths at random, the Marvel filmmakers definitely didn't. Two versions were released, a regular and deluxe edition, with the deluxe edition featuring some extended and additional tracks to the regular edition.Don't worry, you'll see these guys again. Hollywood Records and Marvel Music released the soundtrack album digitally on April 27, 2018, with a release on physical formats following on May 18. "New York Groove" by Ace Frehley was also used in another scene with the Guardians that was ultimately cut from the theatrical release. Gunn revealed that "Draw the Line" by Aerosmith, "Train in Vain" by The Clash, and "Caught in a Dream" by Alice Cooper were also considered for that moment. The film also includes "The Rubberband Man" by The Spinners when the Guardians of the Galaxy first appear, which was chosen by Infinity War executive producer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films James Gunn. Silvestri also used Ludwig Göransson's theme from Black Panther in the film, which is something Göransson had been hoping would happen given he was not involved in the Infinity War score. Every time he got one, that moment was always significant and often times emotional." Silvestri's score is entirely orchestral. Silvestri avoided giving each of the Infinity Stones a theme, as he had done in Captain America: The First Avenger with the Tesseract, saying, "The music for the Infinity Stones is actually built around Thanos' reaction. Silvestri felt working on the film "was a really different experience than anything I'd done before, especially in regard to the approach and balancing quick shifts in tone." He noted that "Thanos didn't just get his own musical theme he got his own sensibility", while the Children of Thanos were linked musically to Thanos. Although Silvestri reprised the main theme he introduced in the first Avengers film, he stated there were discussions to try and incorporate each character's individual established motif in his score, "but everyone was pretty much in agreement that it would be more of a distraction to even attempt it." Silvestri started to record his score in January 2018 and concluded in late March. In June 2016, Alan Silvestri, who composed the score for The Avengers, was revealed to be returning to score both Infinity War and its sequel.
