Avengers: Infinity War is only five months away, so it won't be much longer until we see how the conflict between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Thanos unfolds. But even after that movie concludes, we still have another year to go until Avengers 4, which will be just as big an event as Infinity War, if not bigger. Understandably, Marvel is keeping quiet about what to expect from Avengers 4, but over the last couple weeks, set photos have been posted alluding that the movie is incorporating time travel into its story. Now there's stronger support for this theory, as new photos have popped up showing Chris Evans wearing the Captain America uniform from The Avengers, like in the image above.

You can head over to JustJared to see the new Avengers 4 set photos they've posted, but the basic gist is that they show Chris Evans donned in the same uniform Steve Rogers wore during The Avengers. Evans was shooting scenes with Paul Rudd, who was wearing an Ant-Man costume, and Robert Downey Jr, who was strangely rocking blonde-tinted hair and wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. jumpsuit. Also nearby was Mark Ruffalo, who was wearing a motion-capture suit and carrying a giant bindle. Yes, you read that correctly, he had the same thing stereotypical hoboes carry around. So not only is Ruffalo portraying The Hulk in this scene, evidently the Green Goliath is also homeless. All these men were shooting on a debris-littered street that looks just like the areas where the Avengers were fighting when Loki and the Chitauri attacked New York City.If all these photos only showed Chris Evans wearing one of the earlier Captain America uniforms, then there's an argument to be made that it's just a flashback. However, the presence of Ant-Man and a Tony Stark who doesn't look like he did in The Avengers strengthens the theory that select characters will be traveling back to the past for unclear reasons in Avengers 4. One of the photos showed Robert Downey Jr. gazing angrily at Chris Evans, suggesting that Tony Stark and Steve Rogers may get into an argument as Scott Lang watches. Given that The Avengers showed Tony and Steve meeting for the first time, it would be interesting to see the present day Tony getting frustrated with the younger Steve, which has happened quite a bit in the years since they and their teammates first saved the world together.

Our previous clues that Avengers 4 might use time travel came from photos showing a street filled with 1940s-era cars and a social media post showing Scarlett Johansson wearing the same clothing and having the same hairstyle as she did during the Captain America: Civil War opening. We still have no official confirmation yet that there will be temporal shenanigans in Avengers 4, though since there's an Infinity Stone out capable of rewinding, fast-forwarding and looping time, it's nowhere near outside the realm of possibility it can also transport its users to the past and future.

Avengers 4 will be released in theaters on May 3, 2019. Keep checking back with Duzemedia for more news on the movie.

Earlier today, it was reported that three upcoming X-Men movies would be shifted around on the schedule. For Deadpool 2, this means coming out a few weeks earlier, but for The New Mutants and Gambit, it means now being released on February 22, 2019 and June 7, 2019, respectively. In The New Mutants‘ case, supposedly 20th Century Fox delayed it is because the studio didn’t want any overlap between it and Deadpool 2‘s theatrical run in certain territories. However, now there’s word that the actual reason it’s being released 10 months later than originally planned is because Fox wants to make it scarier.

In The Tracking Board‘s writeup of the release date changes, it’s mentioned at the end of the article that reportedly The New Mutants “tested well, but not great,” so Fox now wants to increase the amount of scares in the movie after seeing the success of movies like Get Out and IT. The Wrap‘s own write-up echoed these claims, as one insider said that The New Mutants “isn’t scary enough. Neither article went into specific detail about how The New Mutants will be turned into a more frightening experience, but no doubt this will be accomplished through re-editing and perhaps even reshoots. After all, the movie doesn’t come out for over a year now, so Fox has extra time to bring the main actors, the director and crew back together if it so chooses.

In recent years, several superhero movies have told stories that have fit nicely into other genres, from Captain America: The Winter Soldier being a political thriller to Ant-Man being a heist film to Logan being infused with Western elements. The New Mutants will be one of the few superhero resting comfortably in the horror genre, so along with properly adapting the New Mutants characters from the comics, it also needs to be packed with scares so it can distinguish itself from the competition. If having to wait another year for The New Mutants means getting a better product and attracting more horror fans, then the delay will ideally prove to be a wise decision in the end.

The New Mutants will follow five young mutants who are just discovering their special abilities trying to escape a creepy, secret facility where they’re being held against their will. The main cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Illyana Rasputin (Magik), Maisie Williams as Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane), Charlie Heaton as Sam Guthrie (Cannonball), Henry Zaga as Roberto de Costa (Sunspot), Blu Hunt as Danielle Moonstar (Mirage) and Alice Braga as Cecilia Reyes.

As mentioned earlier, The New Mutants will now be released on February 22, 2019.
