listening welcome to watchmojo.com to
down our picks for the top 10 times the
MCU foreshadowed future events take a
little more mentoring – you think you
know the Marvel Cinematic Universe click
here to take the new MCU trivia quiz on
watchmojo.com
for this list we’ll be looking at the
instances when the Marvel Cinematic
Universe gave us hints for what was
coming later on while the MCU is all
about setting up for future films we
won’t be going with the obvious ones
like the post-credits scenes since those
have a list of their own oh and in case
you’re not all caught up consider this
your spoiler alert okay get up you’re in
my suit number 10 prison 42 the Avengers
in the Avengers Wilson drops by with
some files for Tony hidden among the
holographic text is a reference to
Project 42 in the comics the number 42
refers to a prison that debuted during
the Civil War storyline this wasn’t a
typical prison first of all it’s located
in the negative zone and secondly it’s a
prison for super-powered individuals
this small detail foreshadow the MCU
zone Civil War as well as its own
version of a super prison the raft
number 9 cap and Iron Man argument
Avengers age of Ultron
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes pulled us apart
like cotton candy
seems like you walked away alright is
that a problem I’m trusting guy without
a dark side Captain America and Iron Man
don’t always see eye to eye in fact
they’ve always kind of butted heads but
it’s their argument in age of Ultron
that perhaps best sets up their eventual
falling out while cutting wood together
the two heroes discuss secrets the team
being pulled apart and Tony’s creation
of Ultron all factors that play heavily
in the Civil War that divides the
Avengers every time someone tries to win
a war before it starts innocent people
die every time the pair is conflicting
ideologies and points of view are also
displayed paving the way for them to
number eight the wasp lives ant-man
Oh Scott Lang maybe ant-man but he’s not
the first man to hold the title his
benefactor and mentor Hank Pym also wore
that mantle and the shrinking suit
fighting crime and evil with his wife
Janet Van Dyne aka the wasp
however Janet is presumed dead after she
shrinks to a subatomic level
when Scott is forced to do the same to
save his daughter a brief image of the
wasp is seen in the quantum realm
hinting at her survival something that
would become a plot point in the sequel
film ant-man and the wasp number 7 the
Infinity Gauntlet in Odin’s fault Thor
the first Thor film is a key one in the
MCU to be sure as it introduces some of
its most recurring heroes and villains
thus far however one element some fans
may have missed is that a scene in
Odin’s vault features among other plot
important relics and apparently complete
Infinity Gauntlet something that would
prove pivotal to the major plot of the
franchise to this point
Odin’s treasure bag well is later
revealed to be a fake and somewhat
problematic continuity wise the
appearance of the gauntlet foreshadowed
Thanos his quest for the Infinity stones
number six stark and strange see the
endgame Avengers age of Ultron
with Avengers we can bust arms dealers
all the live long day but that up there
that’s that’s a game while explaining
why he created the titular ominous idol
robot Tony Stark defends himself by
citing the Battle of New York and how
the threats from other planets are what
drove him to make Ultron calling alien
threats the end game and that they can’t
stop it
how are you guys planning on beating
we’ll lose and we’ll do that together
too
tony is proven right in his prediction
has Thanos is too much for the Avengers
at least an infinity war in addition dr.
strange echoes Tony’s words after
handing the time stone over to the alien
conqueror saying that they’re in the
endgame now we’re in the end game number
five Halla hint Avengers age of Ultron I
the second Avengers film sees four
entranced by Scarlet Witch and entering
into a dream state where he believes
he’s an Asgard while there Heimdall
greets Thor calling him the first son of
Odin not the firstborn or only son if he
wanted to throw shade at Loki for being
evil first son visit him is that the
first son of Odin under your eyes oh
they see everything they see you leading
us to hell
this is potentially foreshadowing for
hella being revealed to be Odin’s first
child in for Ragnarok kneel beg your
[Music]
the folio Queen the sequence also
features Thor’s lightning sparking
around him something that also features
prominently in his third movie as well
as several other seeds of future plot
points but more on that later number
four star-lord can tolerate the Power
Stone guardians of the galaxy
these stones it seems can only be
brandished by beings of extraordinary
strength observe at the heart of the orb
sought by many in the first guardians
movie is the Power Stone whose intensity
and might is so great that no one who
touches it directly can live yet during
the final confrontation with Ronan Peter
quill aka star-lord is able to hold it
for several minutes at least with a
little help from his friends as revealed
later in the film this is due to his
partially alien heritage which is
further explored in the sequel with
Peter’s father ego whose own villainous
traits are also hinted at through
yeah that guy was a jackass number three
ultron predicts Civil War and Thanos
Avengers age of Ultron you and I can
hurt them with you will tear them apart
from the enzyme
despite being pure machine Ultron
displays some impressive powers of
foresight while planning with the
Maximoff twins to destroy the Avengers
Ultron asserts the scar that which can
tear the Avengers apart from the inside
as it happens the accidental death she
causes in Africa are one of the causes
of the sokovia accords which are what
led in part to the schism between the
Avengers when the earth starts to settle
God throws a stone at it and believe me
he’s winding up Ultron also talks about
God winding up to throw a stone slash an
extinction-level event at earth which
comes to pass when Thanos acquires all
number to a death on Tony’s conscience
spider-man homecoming you’re in dire
need of an upgrade systemic top to
bottom Tony Stark acts as a mentor
figure for Peter Parker in the MCU as he
gets the young spider-man with a new
suit and gives him several opportunities
however well he’s a bit of an absentee
pseudo father to Peter
Tony does care about him Peter nearly
screwing up big time during the ferry
incident has stark giving Peter a
lecture telling him that he doesn’t want
the teenage superheroes death on his
conscience what if somebody had died
tonight different story right because
that’s on you and if you died that’s
like that’s on me
I don’t need that on my conscience
unfortunately Tony’s worst fears come to
pass an infinity war since Peter is one
of the many victims of Thanos infinity
powered snap dissolving in Tony’s arms
number one visions Avengers age of
Ultron no not that vision in case the
previous entries didn’t make it clear
age of Ultron is chock-full of
foreshadowing but the most blatant
example is the vision several of the
characters experienced at the hands of
Scarlet Witch as we’ve already seen
Thor’s visions touch on thor ragnarok as
well as delving into the lore regarding
the Infinity stones meanwhile Tony’s
also touches on infinity war given that
it shows his friends dead or dying
defeated by a foe beyond their
collective strength a premonition that
comes to pass upon their encounter with
Thanos yeah my respects doc when I’m
done half of humanity will still be
I hope they remember you do you agree
