The theory of Doctor Strange sacrificing the Time stone in return for Tony Stark's life so he can go back in time and save the Avengers is not a new one. Ever since Infinity War, fans have been predicting that out of the 14 million possibilities where all the Avengers perish, there is only one war in which they win against Thanos. So of course, theories of Iron Man being the saviour of all of mankind has been flying around.

But ever since the post-credit scene of Ant-Man and The Wasp featured, fan theories regarding Avengers 4 seems to have been tweaked. As per a Redditor, a new Doctor Strange theory stars Iron Man, Thanos and Ant-Man, finding answers through the time vortex and quantum realm to bring back all the Avengers and humans to live. The person going by the username Kelmerfud has written an exhausting theory where he/she has illustrated the possibility of how Iron Man along with the help of Ant-Man and Doctor Strange's sacrifice, will defeat Thanos. Avengers 4: Fans ‘Look Hard’ for the Upcoming Film’s Title in the Cryptic Tweet by Directors

The user has also emphasised on Strange's abilities to be stuck in time-loop, as he did during his fight with Dormammu in the first Doctor Strange film. The Redditor claims that time-loop will play an important role in the fourth instalment of the MCU film. The user further stated that the "dead" Avengers are simply in the Soul World (as predicted by many of us) and Iron Man will rescue them from it. “This would explain why Doctor Strange traded the time stone for Tony Starks life.” the Redditor writes.

The theory also states, “Tony will use his BARF tech on Scott to explore the quantum realm through Scott’s memories of being there.” It sure is an interesting insight into the possible outcome of the Infinity War. However, what the fan has probably missed (majorly) is the presence of Captain Marvel and her alliance with the rest of the Avengers. How would Captain Marvel's role be justified in the coming film?
