Marvel Cinematic Universe: 10 New Rumours & Leaks You Need To Know

10. Classic Cap Returns

Marketing materials from Avengers: Infinity War confirm that Captain America will sport a rugged new look, likely because he's leaving the stars and stripes behind to assume his Nomad identity from the comic books.

Previous leaks depicting a funeral had Cap fans concerned, with many tipping Chris Evans's hero as the most likely candidate to end up inside the coffin, but photos from the set of Avengers 4 suggest the world hasn't seen the last of classic Steve Rogers.

The images, originally posted by JustJared before finding their way onto social media, show Cap in his original red, white and blue getup. Judging by the character's appearance and the surrounding devastation, it looks like Avengers 4 could be making like Back to the Future Part II and revisiting the original movie.

Does this mean Earth's Mightiest Heroes will use time travel to visit the events of the original Avengers' Battle of New York? That certainly looks to be the case, which begs the question of why they might need to do that.

Most likely, it's to undo some of Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet-powered meddling. Perhaps Cap will perish during Infinity War, forcing the heroes to jump back in time to recruit another version of the character, one untainted by the events of recent MCU movies such as Civil War. This would position Rogers as the MCU's version of Gandalf, returning from the dead to turn the tide of battle.
