Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Characters Thanos Should Bring Back

A lot of what we hear about comic book movies proves to be utter bull (with small nuggets of truth in there sometimes), but there's a major Avengers: Infinity War rumour that refuses to go away. Perhaps it's because it's so compelling?

That rumour suggests that Thanos could swell his ranks with some of the MCU's most notable villains from past films - perhaps using the Infinity Stones as the key to their returns. And that doesn't just mean the ones who are strictly still alive.

Even more compelling is the idea that he could also benefit hugely from reviving (or appearing to revive) some more heroically aligned figures. After all, some of the key Avengers and Guardians Of The Galaxy members could be distracted far more by ghosts from their past than villains they've already dealt with.

And as Scarlet Witch's mental projections in Age Of Ultron proved, the power of the Infinity Stones can be more complex than just giving the wielder the power to punch things very hard. They can be nuanced psychological weapons, as well as perhaps having the key to revive the dead (if the Soul Stone's powers extend as far as they do in the comics), so the Avengers are in for a pretty big treat. Assuming your idea of a treat involves death, that is.

So who could Thanos bring back for maximum impact?
