Avengers 4 mystery wrap photo leads to rampant theories
If official Avengers 4 teases are like light bulbs, then fan theories are like moths – you know they're going to swarm all over them.
And fittingly, the Russo brothers' latest Avengers teaser may literally be a light bulb – at least going by some of the theories doing the rounds.
The directors confirmed over the weekend that filming on the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War had "wrapped", accompanied by a very bright and mysterious picture.
So fans have been out in full force over what exactly the picture depicts, with everything from a police light, to Bucky Barnes' arm, to Captain America's coffin:

Looked like a coffin so that's scary. But also reminds me of this.
Wait...
Steve says goodbye not long ago...

I realised something. While this could be a water bottle, it also looks like a condenser microphone which is often used in studios.
So basically, by saying "wrapped", the Russos could be saying that they've finished filming and moving on to voice dubbing in post-production. pic.twitter.com/BqWXn1kWky- June🥀 (@imaginerogers) October 14, 2018
I'm guessing something familiar. (P.C. GOTG 2 PCS) pic.twitter.com/XvXMm3iHHr

So what does this all mean? Is Captain America going to die? Is Captain America going to live? Is Loki coming back? Is Thanos going to die? Was it all a dream, and we'll wake up in the cupboard under the stairs? (Sorry, wrong franchise).
Either way, we all have a LOT of questions.
Meanwhile, Captain America actor Chris Evans recently wrapped filming on the new Avengers movie, though left some fans worried about his fate with a farewell post.
However, he later noted: "I should clarify that regardless of how Avengers 4 ends, I would have tweeted the exact same thing. That last day of filming was a very emotional day and it was the culmination of almost 10 years of filming and 22 movies, this unbelievable tapestry.
"You feel a lot more emotions than I think even I thought I'd feel. And I felt it was appropriate to share the gratitude. I know it had a ripple effect but I am neither confirming nor denying anything."
Avengers 4 will be released in the UK on April 26, 2019, and in the US on May 3, 2019. Avengers: Infinity War is out now on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download.
