The Avengers

The Avengers are the flagship heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and the Infinity War movies are called Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2 – so it’s blindingly obvious that they’re going to be the main opposition to Thanos when he’s wielding the Infinity Gauntlet.

The MCU has been building towards a confrontation between the heroes and the Mad Titan since the latter first appeared in the mid-credits scene of the first Avengers movie – and it’s going to be epic when it happens.

Of course, the team’s roster has changed since then and it’s about to be split even more so in Captain America: Civil War, but expect them to come back together for the ultimate battle.

Part 1 will probably see a divided Avengers with some new members – Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel, for example – before Part 2 sees the return of the “originals” to aid in taking Thanos down.

With Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Scarlet Witch, possibly even Quicksilver (hey, he could be brought back) and the aforementioned newcomers, the Avengers will provide the brains, brawn, magic and much more to counter the Mad Titan.
