New ‘Avengers 4’ Theory Puts Dead Heroes Against The Living

In a recent post, a fan theorized a new way for the dead Avengers to return that didn’t involve time travel but also placed the current living heroes against their fallen comrades.

In the post, the fan, under the name filopj, admitted that he was not fond of the time travel theory and admitted that his own did not have a lot of evidence to back his theory up. In addition he stated that this was more of discussion as to what may be a possibility and how it could happen:

If I am being honest, I am not to fond of the time travel theory. I feel that it would negate the deaths of Infinity War and cause inconsistencies in the timeline. It also doesn’t feel like something the Russo brothers would do. If anything, I think that they want us to think that it’s time travel so that they defy our expectations. However, I have come up with a possible theory as to what may happen. Now I don’t have much evidence to back up my claim (other than the fact that everyone will be coming back) at the moment as I am just typing from my head. I only intend to discuss a possiblity that could happen.

He then goes into his theory and talks about how the Infinity Stones could be used to make this possible. He mentioned how Thanos could use the Soul Stone to resurrect the fallen Avengers and possibly use the Mind Stone to control them and make them do battle with one another:

Now if you delve into what the Infinity Stones can do, you would know that the Soul Stone can bring the dead back to life and the Mind Stone can control another’s actions. You probably see where I’m going here. I believe that Thanos will resurrect all the heroes he has dusted and will use either the Mind or Soul Stone to control them and have them act as his minions. If you want, you can also add that he uses the Power Stone to enhance their powers. Or have the Power Stone amplify the affects of the Mind Stone. They could be tasked with keeping the universes population at half but more importantly fight off the Avengers should they make an attempt to steal the Infinity Stones.

This would return all of those that were dusted and would add a twist to things. The only way to break the spell would be to either destroy the Mind Stone or steal it, which is no easy task. When they break from their trance, we could get the epic shot of all the heroes that Sebastian Stan teased.

From the sound of things, this fan wants a kind of second Civil War to happen between the Avengers! Or maybe the closest we will ever see to a live-action take on the Marvel Zombies storyline!

What do you all make of this theory? Would you like to see the fallen Avengers fight their still living comrades? Do you prefer it to the popular time travel theory or is this one jumping the shark a bit? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Here’s a tentative synopsis for Avengers 4:
