Avengers 3 Story, Cast, Release Date: Big Changes and New Characters Coming Out; Rumored for a 2018 Release

Though Avengers 2 has yet to premiere, that does not stop rumors about Avengers 3 from circulating the Internet, some of which may leave fans highly disappointed or excited.

One of the biggest rumors circulating is that The Avengers 3 cast may be replaced meaning that we may not see Robert Downey Jr. Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth reprise their roles for the planned third installment. In short, new characters may be introduced. However, other rumors say that Marvel will be giving fan favorites a grand exit on the Avengers 3 movie to pave way for the new cast of characters
while gathering the original Avengers cast for one last hurrah.

Another speculation is that the Avengers may team up with another Marvel team, Guardians of the Galaxy, and let them battle against Josh Brolin's Thanos. As fans could remember, this big baddie has yet to have a movie of his own as he had only been teased in Guardians and in the first Avengers movie. However, official word has yet to be released from Marvel and directors James Gunn and Joss Whedon about this. Only time will tell.

Another rumor circulating is that the Avengers 3 movie may be split into two parts. However, like every other detail, this had yet to be either confirmed or debunked. However, there has been word that the Avengers 3 movie may serve as a springboard for another related movie.

Though it is still too early to make solid speculations, fans are encouraged to await further news and anticipate the upcoming Avengers 2: Age of Ultron movie which is set to hit theaters worldwide on May
1, 2015.

Kevin Feige, the President of production in Marvel Studios shares that Avengers 3 is aimed for a 2018 theatrical release date.
