A who's who of super heroes.

Comic books are littered with crossover events that bring heroes from across the universe together. These are often the most popular titles for Marvel because fans can read about a lot, if not all, of their favourite characters in the same comic.

This translates to the movies in the same way, in that one of the best aspects of films like Avengers Assemble, Age of Ultron and Civil War is that all the heroes come together in the same environment. Characters that may not have ever seen, interacted with or even known about the other characters.

The MCU so far has masterfully created a universe vast enough to house dozens of characters, yet have many of them never cross paths with each other. Until 2018's Infinity War, that is, which promises to be an event movie like none before it.

With Infinity War boasting appearances by almost all of the main characters introduced over the last ten years, plus a few new characters, there will be plenty of character crossovers and lots of new dynamics.

And while a lot of these will be first meetings between the characters, some of the most interesting will be between groups who are already familiar with each other...

10. Scarlet Witch and Vision

Though Infinity War looks to be the one of the darkest MCU movies to date, promising death and destruction, it is still a Marvel movie so there is guaranteed to be some levity. And given their trajectory so far, it seems likely that we'll see that from Vision and Scarlet Witch’s relationship as they develop romantically, and Vision's culture-clash humour is pushed again.

The two will likely grow closer together throughout the movie, playing out the ‘forbidden fruit’ relationship (since Scarlet Witch is currently on the run), developing Vision’s character by showing a more impulsive personality, and giving Scarlet Witch someone to grow attached to. Someone to lose.

This could be the spark that ignites a whole new character arc for Scarlet Witch. She has already lost her brother since becoming an Avenger, she can’t afford to lose a lover too. Vision looks likely to meet his demise in Infinity War, and should this happen, it may be the trigger that sets Wanda on a new path. Possibly a villainous path.

We could be heading towards the House of M storyline adapted in the MCU, and it will start with Wanda and Vision growing closer together, only to be torn apart. This could be what sends Wanda over the edge.
