10 Biggest Unconfirmed Rumours About 2018 Movies

2. Quicksilver Returns From The Dead - Avengers: Infinity War

Characters returning after actually dying or seemingly dying is nothing new in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Phil Coulson, Loki, Nick Fury and others have all made miraculous reappearances at one point or another, and at this point, it's become one of Marvel's most tiresome movie tropes.

But there might still be more to come. A huge leak that originated on 4Chan earlier this year claimed that Quicksilver - played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Avengers: Age Of Ultron - would be returning in an upcoming Avengers movie, despite dying during the Battle of Sokovia.

This was followed by a supposed leaked photo that showed Infinity War being edited, with the character in the top-left corner leading many to believe that Quicksilver was definitely returning...

However, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has previously stated that Quicksilver is 100-percent dead. In a Q&A for Avengers: Age Of Ultron, he reiterated that the character would not be returning, and that people should understand that this death would not be retconned.

But a lot has changed in the two years since he gave that quote, and if Quicksilver is set to return, it wouldn't be terribly surprising.

As previously mentioned, Marvel has a track record of bringing people back, and after Doctor Strange introduced the Time Stone, the studio has an easy way of explaining the logistics behind reviving a stone-cold corpse.
