Avengers 4: 9 Surprise Cameos That Could Still Happen

6. The Ravagers

When the original incarnation of the Guardians of the Galaxy appeared during the ending sequence of Guardians 2, fans were likely surprised by the talent on display. Sylvester Stallone leads the team as Stakar, Michelle Yeoh appears as Aleta, Michael Rosenbaum plays Martinex and Ving Rhames, Miley Cyrus and a CGI mannequin round out the group as Martinex, Charlie 27, Mainframe and Krugarr.

Though superhero films have, as of late, proven to be remarkably exorbitant when it comes to cameos (Deadpool 2 a prime example), it's unlikely that this group were introduced as a throwaway reference. Stallone and Yeoh in particular could easily anchor a Ravagers spin-off, and with most of the Guardians having been snapped out of existence by Thanos, who better to lead the charge against the Mad Titan than the team's original incarnation?

Maybe 'lead' is a strong word, but don't count the Ravagers out of an appearance in the next Avengers. They're bound to feature in Guardians 3 (alongside Adam Warlock, who now won't be appearing in Avengers 4), and with all that spin-off potential evident across the team, having them cameo in the conclusion to the MCU's Infinity arc makes a whole lot of sense.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
