The 11 biggest 'Infinity War' questions that 'Avengers 4' must answer

thanos avengers infinity war Marvel

Spoiler warning: Don't read if you have not seen "Avengers: Infinity War."

"Avengers: Infinity War" is finally here, and it's a satisfying crossover event for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But it also leaves many things dangling that audiences will want addressed.

It is very much the first part of a two-part story, and moviegoers will have to wait until next year for answers, when the fourth "Avengers" movie comes to theaters. It was filmed back to back with "Infinity War" and was originally titled "Infinity War — Part 2."

In the meantime, we have questions. 

There's definitely something going on with the Hulk, and Doctor Strange has a plan. And how about that surprise return of a character long thought dead?

Below are the 11 biggest questions we have after watching "Infinity War" that "Avengers 4" has to answer:

Why can't Bruce Banner turn into the Hulk?

Marvel

Remember this epic shot from the first "Infinity War" trailer? It's not in the movie! In fact, the Hulk, featured prominently running with the other Avengers in the scene, only appears at the beginning of the film. At some point, directors Joe and Anthony Russo decided that they didn't want Bruce Banner to Hulk-out during the battle in Wakanda. Throughout the movie, Banner  has trouble unleashing the beast, and the Hulk repeatedly shouts "No!" in his head mid-transformation. There's something going on with Banner/the Hulk and it's something we hope is explored in "Avengers 4."



Will the Red Skull return (again)?

Marvel Studios

One of the film's biggest surprises is the return of the Red Skull, who was the villain way back in 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger." In that movie, we thought Skull was disintegrated from touching one of the Infinity Stones, but it appears he was just transferred to another planet — the planet where Thanos retrieves the Soul Stone. Will we see more of Red Skull in the next "Avengers" movie, or future MCU movies for that matter? 



How will Captain Marvel play into the story?

Marvel Comics

Next March, before "Avengers 4" is released, "Captain Marvel" starring Brie Larson comes to theaters. The "Infinity War" after-credits scene teases the character's arrival, so we assume "Captain Marvel" will get involved in the events following "Infinity War" (even though her solo movie takes place in the 1990s). It's apparent that Captain Marvel will be integral to saving humanity and stopping Thanos in "Avengers 4," but we have no idea how yet.

Remembering Joanne Pransky

A version of this post original appeared in TechCrunch’s weekly robotics newsletter, Actuator . It has been updated to include details about a new scholarship fund being raised in her honor.  I didn’t know Joanne Pransky personally, so when news of her death broke late last month, I reached out to my LinkedIn followers, asking if any of them did. “Yes,” answered one, “didn’t everyone?” Over decades of work, Pransky has left a lasting impact on the industry, bringing a uniquely human element to conversations about robotics and automation. “Joanne was the epitome of ‘Think Different,’” iRobot co-founder and Tertill CEO Helen Greiner told me over email. “She was a pioneer in calling attention to what robots would mean for society and what human society would mean for the robots.” Pransky proudly adopted the title of “the world’s first real Robotic Psychiatrist,” devoting herself to act as a conduit between humans and robots. “My ultimate goal is to help people understand their emotiona

Winging it

Once again, your intrepid robotics reporter finds himself in the warm embrace of the Bay. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the warmest I was ever embraced was early summer in Santa Clara. I’m writing this from a juice place in Palo Alto (living the dream), having finished a pair of back-to-back meetings nearby. This week’s big Apple event brought me out here. As strange as it is to say, I’ve thus far missed the eye-burning smoke of Nova Scotia wildfires by traveling west to California. Very strange to view the apocalyptic New York skyline from afar. Though I suppose predictability is an element of climate change we’re going to be grappling with for . . . I don’t know, ever, probably. I’ve covered the Apple experience a bunch this week. If you have time to read only one thing I wrote on the Vision Pro headset , I’d recommend this . It’s mostly about positioning and market fit. There’s not a ton about the system that’s applicable to the manner of stuff you normally encounter in this newslet

Upward and onward

The future is very much yet to be written about vertical farming. In many ways, the technology presents hope in the midst of rising food safety concerns, aging populations and potential environmental collapse. It’s also an intensely hard row to hoe, as it were. Early companies in the space are going to be the ones focused on driving down unit economics (hopefully) to a point where the technology makes sense from a price perspective. But sometimes being early to a party means you’re among the first to leave. Last January, we covered what looked to be an important next step for Upward Farms, as the company announced plans to open a 250,000-square-foot farm in Northeastern, Pennsylvania early this year. The Brooklyn-based firm recently announced , however, that it has closed up shop. “We found that vertical farming is almost infinitely complex — as we tackled challenges, new ones emerged,” founders Jason Green, Ben Silverman and Matt La Rosa said in an open letter. “Our team faced thes
