AVENGERS 4 Set Photo May Reveal A New Weapon For Iron Man And Could Shed Some Light On A Big Mystery

We've all been wondering for a while now what that mysterious looking device was in the Avengers 4 behind the scenes photo shared by the Russos and this image might just shed some long overdue light on it.

In Avengers: Infinity War, a large looking device could be seen in the background of the workshop War Machine was reunited with Captain America in. No one really paid much attention at the time but that changed when it was spotted in a photo shared by Avengers 4 directors Joe and Anthony Russo.

They told fans to look closely for what many of us assumed would be a title reveal but a new photo has now surfaced showing the device and that's led to an entirely different sort of speculation today.

As you can see, it bears a striking resemblance to the proton cannon which was wielded by Iron Man in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of video games. Used as the Armoured Avenger's special move, it's become a staple of the character and it now seems as if we're going to see it on the big screen, perhaps as the weapon which takes down Thanos. It's also possible that War Machine could use it.

Honestly, it might mean a lot or very little but this image leaves us with a lot to think about and it will be interesting seeing if and how it ultimately factors into Avengers 4. What do you guys think?

So here we have a closer look at the Avengers Headquarters Lab and what it seems to be a Proton Cannon but it could be definitely anything else 🤷‍♂️ Comment your thoughts! ⤵️ - #TheGeekPower ↩ - - - - - FOLLOW FOR MORE @The_geek_power #avengersinfinitywar #Captainamerica #chrisevans #Doctorstrange #avengers #SpiderManFarFromHome #peterparker #brielarson #blackwidow #antman #ScarlettJohansson #spidey #farfromhome #ironspider #captainmarvel #elizabetholsen #Blackpanther #infinitywar #Thor #ironman #tomholland #robertdowneyjr #ScarletWitch #thanos #spiderman #Evangelinelilly #caroldanvers #marvelstudios

"perhaps as the weapon which takes down Thanos."

ftf530 - 10/18/2018, 8:12 AM

@Luminus - it should be the weapon that puts Josh's deleted article that he stole from zergnet back up

JonC - 10/18/2018, 8:13 AM

@Luminus - do people not know what a jet engine looks like or what?

Luminus - 10/18/2018, 11:09 PM

@JonC - Apparently not.

Colton - 10/18/2018, 3:15 AM

incredibleTalk - 10/18/2018, 3:21 AM

Why is everybody picking on Thanos? this is just bullying now!

HubbleFunk - 10/18/2018, 3:21 AM

It’s looks like a jet engine and it says ‘JET FUEL’ in yellow on the side.

Occams razor people...

Luminus - 10/18/2018, 3:27 AM

@HubbleFunk - Me thinks you're right:

Origame - 10/18/2018, 3:35 AM

@HubbleFunk - yeah. Maybe this is just the start to a new quinjet. We really dive too deep into things sometimes. Like how people are saying that helas hat is the venom symbiote.

four20smoke - 10/18/2018, 3:52 AM

@Luminus - official footage from Avengers 4...5 Enemies Iron Mans Proton Canon is Taking Out in the After Credits!! SPOILER...Snikt!!

Vigor - 10/18/2018, 4:20 AM

@HubbleFunk - to be fair. The proton cannon looks like a jet engine

Tonic24k - 10/18/2018, 4:47 AM

@HubbleFunk - Occam's Razor indeed

HubbleFunk - 10/18/2018, 4:48 AM

@Luminus - @Vigor @Origame

If anything, this could just be a prop from Tony preparing a Quinjet for Space travel.

Surely Tony is past needing hydraulic and fuel pipes in his tech, the kind you see in jet engines?

Chewtoy - 10/18/2018, 7:02 AM

@HubbleFunk - yeah, it’s clearly designed to look like a jet engine, assuming that it isn’t actually one on loan from somewhere.

My guess is that it’s just technological set dressing, and doesn’t play a role in the film... just fills out the background.

Origame - 10/18/2018, 7:48 AM

@HubbleFunk - yeah thats what im saying.

ftf530 - 10/18/2018, 8:15 AM

@HubbleFunk - I'm curious if it's really a quinjet or something of the sort, since they don't even need to use a ship to travel the universe since thor now has access to the bifrost at will

I was thinking maybe either rocket makes a ridiculous rocket-style gun (cause he loves ones that are about twice as big as he is) or it's something involved with accessing the quantum realm?

ftf530 - 10/18/2018, 8:17 AM

@HubbleFunk - they were pretty much past that once they established that tony could design helicarriers that use his arc reactor's power in winter soldier

I also think they aren't gonna be concerned with making ships for space travel since thor can access the bifrost

ftf530 - 10/18/2018, 8:18 AM

@Chewtoy - I'm with you. With thor's access to bifrost I doubt they'd need to make anything like this.

@Bakugo - HYPER COMBO FINISH!!!!!! KO!!! IRON MAN WINS!!

doomsday619 - 10/18/2018, 3:24 AM

Is this the thing that was posted in the black and white pic by the Russo's?

doomsday619 - 10/18/2018, 3:28 AM

@doomsday619 -

CorndogBurglar - 10/18/2018, 3:30 AM

@doomsday619 - Good catch. It does look like that thing on the far left.

ccxa - 10/18/2018, 3:28 AM

Does it melt steel beams?

aflynn - 10/18/2018, 4:38 AM

Come and get it Thanos

mcu93 - 10/18/2018, 4:48 AM

It's a jet engine.

ftf530 - 10/18/2018, 8:21 AM

@mcu93 - it's actually the source of Josh's evil zergnet article stealing powers

Nightwing1015 - 10/18/2018, 4:58 AM

Not sure if anyone covered this here: https://screenrant.com/superman-tv-show-cw-tyler-hoechlin/

Rumoured Superman TV show in the works.

ftf530 - 10/18/2018, 8:21 AM

@Nightwing1015 - I HOPE

I'm a big fan of his superman.
