The Russo Brothers are set to appear in "The Game Awards"; Avengers 4 Trailer to be shown then?

It looks like hype and anticipation for the next Avengers movie will skyrocket again next week if The Russo Brothers have anything to reveal about it, as Joe and Anthony Russo have been confirmed as livestream guests for this year's "The Game Awards" - as confirmed by host and mastermind Geoff Keighley on his official Twitter page! The Russos have been quite busy doing final production work on the as of yet untitled Avengers sequel, even going as far as to not say anything regarding the mysterious MCU film during a Q&A segment following a special screening of "Avengers: Infinity War" in Archlight Cinemas (which you an read about in detail from Superherohype here).

Having The Russos appear in "The Game Awards" - one of the last major events and one highlighting the best and latest video games out there - only furthers the chances that the very first "Avengers 4" trailer will appear there. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige did reassure fans that the first trailer "would come out before the end of 2018", so this is one of those spots before the year ends. Let's hope it happens when The Game Awards broadcasts on December 6 at 8:30pm EST/ 5:30 PST.
