Avengers 4 to Revisit Civil War Opening Scene?

While production onAvengers 4will carry over into the new year, we reported last week thatPaul Bettany has wrappedon the movie. Now it seems that another integral part of the production has wrapped. Heidi Moneymaker, who is Scarlett Johansson’s stunt double on the set, shared an Instagram photo earlier this week that revealed she has also wrapped. But the photo may have teased something else as well. The image in question features Scarlett Johansson wearing a very familiar outfit, which strangling flash back to the events ofCaptain America: Civil War.

While there is no clear-cut confirmation that this flashback is taking place, Scarlett Johansson is seen wearing the same tan coat from the opening scenes ofCaptain America: Civil War, and her hairstyle is the same as it was in that scene as well. The scene in question was an epic fight in Lagos, which involved the new Avengers that had assembled for the first time at the end ofAvengers: Age of Ultron, who try to contain the villainous Crossbones (Frank Grillo) as he attacks an infectious disease center. While there is still no confirmation thatAvengers 4will feature a flashback to this scene, there have been other pivotal scenes in theMCUthat have been teased thus far.

There have been indications thatAvengers 4will also revisit the iconic moment inMarvel’s The Avengerswhere the Avengers assemble before the Battle of New York, but how this scene is revisited is still uncertain. While it could be as simple as a flashback scene, there is also the possibility of time travel, made possible by the Time Stone that was revealed through the Eye of Agamotto fromDoctor Strange. There have already been indications that theSanctum Sanctorumwill be featured inAvengers: Infinity War, so it’s possible that these pivotal scenes from MCU history could be revisited through time travel. Regardless, Scarlet Johansson revisiting this very coat and hairstyle is intriguing, nonetheless.

This also comes more than a month after a separate rumor surfaced teasingCrossbonesis coming back inAvengers 4. In early November, Robert Downey Jr. and a number ofAvengersstars converged on a local Atlanta theater for a one-night-only production of the iconic playOur Town. TheOur Towncast photo surprisingly included Frank Grillo, which many fans took to mean that the Crossbones character will return, somehow. While the character was seemingly killed in that epic opening scene ofCaptain America: Civil War, this new photo teasing Scarlett Johansson’s coat and hairstyle fromCaptain America: Civil Warcould also help clarify rumors of Frank Grillo’s possible return as Crossbones.

There was also a report from October that revealedIron Man 3starTye Sheridan may return as Harley Kennerfrom that sequel, which could indicate that there may be more time travel scenes, or it could also mean we may see what Harley Kenner has been up to in present day. Regardless, very little is known about the story, and since the title forAvengers 4is considered a huge spoiler forAvengers: Infinity War, we likely won’t find out the title until afterAvengers: Infinity Warhits theaters on August 17, 2025. While we wait for more details onAvengers 4, take a look at the latest photo from the set, courtesy ofHeidi Moneymaker Instagram.
