During an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo revealed an alternate title for the film and discussed how they never seriously considered splitting it into two movies.
After Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced plans to release Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2, the name of the first project was changed to just Avengers: Infinity War while the sequel remained untitled for some time. As a result, fans spent a significant amount of time speculating on what the title of the fourth Avengers film would be before the official trailer confirmed it was Endgame. However, the Russo Brothers revealed one of the more popular fan choices for the title was once considered:
“It was Infinity Gauntlet for a long time.”
As for whether or not they ever considered splitting Endgame into two films, the Russo Brothers explained they only ever joked about such a possibility:
“We used to joke about [splitting the movies in two] all the time. Because Alan Horn at Disney had overseen Lord of the Ringsand he used to joke about it. Like, three hour movie, just cut it in half. I don’t know that it would have achieved this kind of success had we split it up.

Now, Marvel Studios has released several character posters not only for the surviving heroes who will embark on a game-changing mission in Endgame but also for those who fell victim to Thanos' eradication in Infinity War.
The line-up includes Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Bradley Cooper's Rocket Raccoon, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, and many more!

Endgame will serve as both a follow up to Avengers: Infinity War as well as the conclusion to the 22 films that came before it, which have now been dubbed as the Infinity Saga by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, before Marvel kicks off Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July.
While plot details still remain under wraps, Earth's Mightiest Heroes are expected to team up with Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and utilize the Quantum Realm in their efforts to undo the decimation from Thanos' snap and bring back half of the universe's population, who were turned to dust by the Mad Titan.
