Marvel: 15 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Jan 15th)

15. Betty Ross Is Coming Back

Quite weirdly, a story appeared on the Scottish Daily Record recently revealing that Avengers: Infinity War is set to film in Scotland (because nothing says the bleak desolation of space like inner city Glasgow...) that seemingly unwittingly confirmed the return of an important Hulk character for the sequel...

"Brie Larson of 21 Jump Street fame is expected to play Captain Marvel, while Liv, daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steven, is rumoured to be playing her Incredible Hulk character Betty Ross. Inverness-born Karen [Gillen], 29, is reportedly preparing to star as galactic supervillain Nebula."

Interesting - as is the Nebula link, which feels more likely, even if calling her a supervillain isn't quite right, given her face turn in Guardians Vol 2.

Rating: 6/10

Not that her father is back and has unresolved issues with the Avengers team, it's unlikely he's going to go away any time soon. Expect him to be the major thrust of the sub-plot in Infinity War as he tries to uncover the whereabouts of the missing heroes and enforce even tighter restrictions on other powered people.

And having his daughter pop up as the continued voice of reason would make sense, particularly as Ross has unresolved business with the Hulk, who in turn has some pretty big loose ends with Betty.

Maybe Marvel will actually finally get a female character right too when she returns?
