The Story Is Not Connected To the MCU at All
I’m so sorry to tell you this, MCU fan, but the narrative in this Marvel’s Avengers game is in no way, shape, or form tied to the live-action Marvel films that release in theaters.
The Iron Man, Thor, Hulk (and everyone else) that you see in this game are not voice acted by any of the Hollywood talents that play the roles on the silver screen. Any of the events that occurred in Endgame for example never happened in this alternate story but that’s not a bad thing entirely.
This original storyline told by Crystal Dynamics is loosely based on the comics but because it’s not tied to the MCU, it allows the writers to experiment more with the story and provide new plot lines and characters that never existed in the MCU.
This also opens the doors for more post-launch DLC characters, which we’ll talk about next.
