Avengers 4 Uniforms Possibly Leaked Via Action Figure Box

The leaked image features new suits for Thor, Rocket and Captain America.

It looks like uniforms for a few of the heroes from Avengers 4 may have been leaked from the back of an upcoming action figure box, and they are definitely a departure from what we’ve previously seen Earth’s Mightiest Heroes wear in the MCU.

Spoiler warning: possible spoilers for Avengers 4 and definite spoilers for Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp ahead.

The leaked image of the back of a Hasbro action figure box was posted on Reddit (via The Wrap) and shows Thor and Rocket Raccoon both wearing sleek white outfits featuring the Avenger’s symbol on their chests. Thor is still sporting his shorter haircut he received during Thor: Ragnarok and is welding the Stormbreaker axe he forged in Infinity War. Rocket is simply crossing his arms, but he is a talking raccoon in a full-body suit, so he gets a pass.

The text of the box reads: "The Asgardian Thor wields the mighty Stormbreaker in his battle against new foes, Rocket teams up with a new crew to guard the Galaxy from an even greater threat.” It’s unclear which new foes Thor could be facing, or what this supposed greater threat could be. The wording also suggests Rocket may be forming a new Guardians of the Galaxy (or somehow re-forming the previous team), but that remains to be seen.

Though this image should be taken with a few dozen grains of salt, it does line up with previous rumors that the surviving Avengers would be receiving matching white uniforms, including the Hulk and Rocket. Some fans are theorizing that these suits are designed to enter the Quantum Realm, which Ant-Man became stranded in during the end credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp. They could also simply be space suits of some kind.

There are a few details that support the legitimacy of this leak. First, Hasbro has been working with Disney to make MCU merchandise for quite some time, and the box does have an interesting shape in its upper corner. This suggests images on the front of the box are dictating its general shape, which is a common occurrence in Hasbro action figures.

Second, a smaller thumbnail image in the corner of the box shows Captain America seemingly wearing a similar white suit. A thumbnail image of Captain Marvel, however, shows her in the suit she’ll be wearing in her own movie, which makes sense considering she’ll likely be joining the rest of the Avengers as an outsider at some point in the film.

Lastly, in the upper corner of the box is an image of various surviving members of The Avengers, which is nearly identical to another supposedly leaked promotional image from June. These characters include Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man, War Machine, Rocket and Captain Marvel - all of which either survived Thanos’ snap, or at the very least weren’t shown being disintegrated. Interestingly, the image from the box doesn’t include Nebula while the earlier leaked image does.

While there are arguments for its legitimacy, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical. First, as argued by The Wrap, there are often action figures that wear costumes that never show up in their associated film. However, images on the back of boxes often do show official promotional images with actors wearing costumes that are really in the films. The box also doesn’t feature any sort of title other than “Avengers,” though leaving off details like this is common in prototype design stages.

Also, the Avengers in the MCU don’t wear matching uniforms, though the previous leak suggested that these suits match because the surviving Avengers are doing whatever they can to work better as a team. Finally, the image originated on Instagram, but there’s no information on exactly how the back of the box was obtained in the first place, nor are there any images of the front of the box.
