Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Surprise Cameos That Could Still Happen

Those Lego sets can't all be wrong...

That's right, be calm folks, Avengers: Infinity War is only four short months away from release. It's only a matter of time until all those rumours, speculations and more are put to bed, and while there have been comments that've seemingly downplayed the scale of the third Avengers film, it's clear that we've not seen - or will see - anything quite like it.

The Russo Brothers previously remarked that Infinity War will arrive complete with a veritable trove of surprise appearances, and while rumours of the Defenders appearing were quashed a while back, a recent Lego set may have given fans their first idea of what to expect from these cameos, one that would seemingly lend credence to those earlier rumours.

Infinity War is a film six years in the making, and the centrepiece to the MCU’s ten-year anniversary. Of course it has to focus on its core heroes, but it’s as much a celebration of the franchise as it is a continuation of it. As such, Infinity War should be bringing all the best heroes and villains to the party, even if they only fill a cursory role, be it in a glancing shot, a fight scene, or something else entirely.

There are a whole bunch of characters that could get their Avengers call-up come April, but who are the most likely to answer?

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.
