Did Chris Pratt Just Spoil Avengers Infinity war 2?

It looks like Chris Pratt just posted a major spoiler for Avengers 4 online. 
We're jumping into the spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War right away, so now's your last chance to bail. 

Still here? 
"Let's go." Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, the screenwriters of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4: Even More Infinity War Than Before, have stuck to their guns in saying that the heart-squeezing deaths you saw in the theater are real, saying: "the sooner you accept that, the sooner you will be able to move on to the next stage of grief." 

But in all honesty, fans know better than to listen to that crappy advice. And thanks to an accidental slip from Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt, their optimistic judgment has seemingly been proven right. In a recent Instagram post, it appears Pratt spoiled a part of Avengers 4 by confirming the fates of Star-Lord and Pom Klementieff's Mantis, both of whom disintegrated into space ash after Thanos snapped his Infinity Gauntlet-wearing hand and got rid of half of the universe's inhabitants.

 Many believed that most of the deaths in Infinity War would be reversed in Avengers 4, and Pratt has essentially confirmed that hunch. So how exactly did Pratt potentially spoil the events of Avengers Infinity war 2? In the most wholesome way imaginable: by wishing Klementieff a happy birthday on Instagram, mentioning that he's eager for the two of them to join forces again for the third Guardians movie in 2019. 




He wrote: "Happy birthday, Pom Klementieff, whom many of you know as Mantis! She's such a unique, talented, and driven artist. Can't wait to start shooting Guardians Vol. 3 with her next year! Hope you're having a good day, Pom!" Of course, let's be real here: it was pretty much a given that Star-Lord and Mantis would return from the grave since Guardians film franchise director James Gunn has been candid about the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a done deal.

Tom Holland's Spider-Man, who disintegrated in Iron Man's arms at the end of Infinity War, is basically guaranteed to come back to life as well since he has an untitled Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel in the works. Both Guardians Vol. 3 and the Homecoming follow-up will launch after Avengers 4, so Star-Lord, Mantis, and Spidey, plus a few other fallen favorites, will likely be resurrected in the film before jumping back into their individual film series. At least there's a bright side to Pratt's accidental plot detail reveal: Tom Holland isn't alone in spoiling Marvel movies any longer.
