The so-called leak has begun doing the rounds online overnight, although it’s important to note that Marvel have not officially announced the name of the follow-up to Avengers: Infinity War. MCU Cosmic, a website that frequently publishes rumours and leaks relating to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, claims the movie is called Avengers: Annihilation. If true, it means the blockbuster will share its title with a Marvel Comics miniseries from 2006. That particular story saw the characters facing Annihilus, with Thanos also playing a key role. But whether or not the comics would play a role in the influence of the story is unclear, as directors Joe and Anthony Russo previously insisted the movie would be an original tale. "I don't think there are any comics that correlate to it," Joe Russo told ComicBook.com back in May. "I think we're in pretty fresh territory with Avengers 4. If anything, I think it's interesting after to go back and look at some of the Marvel films and view them through a different lens. “But I can't think of any comics in particular that would have value." Thanos will be back in Avengers 4 Infinity War was a huge hit Avengers 4 remains largely surrounded by mystery, after the spectacular ending of Infinity War earlier this year. That movie saw half of all living things in the universe being killed when Thanos collected all of the Infinity Stones - with the deal toll including multiple heroes. Many of those heroes are presumed to be returning in some capacity, especially as many of them have been spotted attending reshoots in Atlanta, USA, over recent weeks. But whether they’re back from the dead for good, or appearing in some other dimension or realm, or even via flashback, remains to be seen. The follow-up is currently in production Infinity War was a huge global event<doc-sep>Mark Ruffalo has been both Marvel's gift and its nightmare. While beloved for his role as Dr Bruce Banner – and his mean, green alter ego the Hulk – the actor has an awkward history of letting slip fairly major secrets: he spoiled the ending of Avengers: Infinity War a year before it came out, while accidentally live-streaming the first 15 minutes of Thor: Ragnarok at its premiere. Has Ruffalo struck again? During his latest appearance on The Tonight Show, the actor appeared not only to reveal several key details from Avengers 4, but the film's true title, although the entire audio was bleeped – both on TV and in the live studio. Clearly, the actor and Marvel Studios had decided to play a small prank on fans, although that hasn't stopped viewers trying to interpret what Ruffalo actually mouthed, with many suggesting the title may be Avengers: Annihilation. The Russo Brothers had previously teased that the title would include two "A"s, after posting a cryptic message to Twitter. Ruffalo later referenced the incident on Twitter, writing: "I trust that you will cut my spoiler slip on the show tonight. That was “off the record” homey. Please don’t get me in trouble with Marvel (Barry) again. DM me back." "Dude, it’s too late - already sent the final show to Burbank for air. Are you sure you’re gonna be in trouble? We could maybe bleep it out. What is “DM”?" Fallon replied.

The Russo Brothers are fully aware that all eyes are back on them for the moment and took full advantage of that fact this morning by posting a cryptic picture from the set of the film, instructing MCU fans to "Look hard..." Obviously, that's what fans have started to do, but does the picture actually contain clues for the Avengers 4 title? The Russo Brothers shared an image from the Atlanta set of Avengers 4 with Joe Russo hard at work. Russo is on his laptop surrounded by a bunch of items that don't look out of place for the set of a major motion picture. A ladder is shown in the black and white photo, along with an easel that more than likely has storyboards on it, a cooler, and other items are featured in the image that the directors want MCU fans to take a closer look at. So far, the general consensus is that the Russo Brothers are trolling MCU fans by revealing four hidden "A"s in the picture, which is an obvious nod to Avengers 4. The "A"s are located in the ladder on the right of Joe Russo, in the easel on the left, near the camera on the far left, and towards the top right of the photo. It seems that the directors are having a bit of fun with fans who have been speculating about the official title of the upcoming film since Infinity War was released in April of this year. Looking back, it seems highly unlikely that the official title of Avengers 4 would be released the day after the Captain Marvel trailer was unveiled. That hasn't stopped fans from thinking about how Carol Danvers will help out the wounded Avengers in their battle against Thanos in the highly anticipated movie. Marvel Studio boss Kevin Feige says that Danvers is the most powerful hero to hit the big screen in the first ten years of the MCU, and the first trailer certainly gives some hints away, but it's unclear how Brie Larson's Carol Danvers will help out in Avengers 4. Avengers 4 is currently shooting in Atlanta and it will be the final footage used for the film, according to Mark Ruffalo, who also stated that the actors aren't aware of how Phase 3 of the MCU will end at this point. There's a lot of explaining to do after the conclusion of Infinity War and hardcore fans are desperate for any kind information that they can get that has to do with the sequel. For now, the Russo Brothers have set us up with a set photo to analyze until they offer up any sort of real intel. You can look at the Avengers 4 set photo below, provided by the The Russo Brothers Twitter account.<doc-sep>
Avengers Infinity War: Teaser ahead of DVD release Just last week everyone was convinced that the Avengers 4 title was Endgame after the Russo Brothers posted a cryptic photograh from the set. Then last night a major rumour started spreading that it was actually Annihilation. Now a major star from the Marvel Cinematic Universe has just teased that he will let slip some huge news on the Jimmy Fallon show later tonight. Ruffalo has considerable previous history of accidentally revealing spoilers along with fellow serial offender Tom Holland but Marvel is never one to miss a trick and has recently started employing similar 'accidental' leaks to drop major news. Holland did just that by 'accidentally' revealing the Spider-Man 2 far From Home title during a fan video at Seattle Comic Con. Earlier today Ruffalo tweeted: "@JimmyFallon, I trust that you will cut my spoiler slip on the show tonight. That was 'off the record' homey. Please don’t get me in trouble with Marvel (Barry) again. DM me back." The official Jimmy Fallon Twitter account replied: "Dude, it’s too late - already sent the final show to Burbank for air. Are you sure you’re gonna be in trouble? We could maybe bleep it out. What is 'DM'?" Fans immediately cottoned on that this could be the Avengers 4 title reveal. Avengers 4 title revealed tonight by Mark Ruffalo? Avengers 4 title revealed by Mark Ruffalo? Avengers 4 title revealed by Mark Ruffalo on Jimmy Fallon? One wrote: "Tom Holland is going to be so mad if Mark Ruffalo leaks the #Avengers 4 Title before he has a chance to." Another said; "IS THIS SCRIPTED??? IS THIS A MARKETING STRATEGY? DO WE GET AN UPDATE TONIGHT? PLEASE BE THE TITLE." The Marvel filmmakers always said they would reveal the title long after Infinity war had left cinemas becasue it held significance for the final movie in this first epic MCU cycle. They also said nothing would be released until after teh first Captain Marvel trailer, which ahs been and gone. The actual trailer is widely expected to arrive in November but fans are feverishly focussed on trying to work out the title. Avengers 4 title theories sparked by this image
