Avengers 4 is still many months away, but we still might be so far away from the money in regards to the title, the nearest bank is in the next town.

While previous guesses from punters seemingly in the know have suggested the title to the upcoming flick is Annihilation, with Mark Ruffalo being fired for releasing a different title, its now been suggested the film might have had four different names this year alone.

Thats a lot of indecision from the Russo Brothers.

According to Jeremy Conrad of MCU Cosmic, who seems to have a wealth of insider knowledge that has come through for punters in the past, the name has been changed three times, and while he doesnt think it has been changed again, it also wouldnt surprise him.

He wrote on Twitter this week: For a title that changed three times over the last year, its always possible it changed a fourth time. But I dont think it did.

And seeing as this is perhaps only a week out from the release of the long-anticipated trailer, this is some ballsy moves from Marvel Studios to continue to change it so late in the game.

The MCU expert then charted the titles that have been thrown about so far, after the original was claimed to have been Avengers Gauntlet, even though that was denied by former Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn following a slip of the tongue from Zoe Saldana.

The greatest Russo troll of all time is if they just call Avengers 4 “Infinity War – Part 2” like it originally was. That would annihilate every theory.

Jeremy also claimed the title of the movie was simply, at one stage, End Game, after Omega Underground noticed Avengers cinematographer Trent Opalochs website listed one of his projects as Avengers: End Game.

Telling, eh?

During the production process it was also suggested the title for the upcoming flick was based on an Infinity War spoiler, even though the Russo Brothers confirmed the title was not spoken during the film.

So, really, theyre just giving us nothing here, are they?

The latest one remains to be Annihilation, though, unless MCU bosses and the sleuth Kevin Feige have gone and switched it up yet again, with Jeremy claiming seven independent sources have confirmed it to him.

The trailer is tipped to be released any minute now, so guess well just have to keep waiting and wishing.

Avengers 4 is in cinemas 26 April, 2019.
