Upon forging a cinematic landscape equipped with a frankly absurd 27 feature films and a further four Disney Plus TV series (not to mention some Netflix shows that now appear to be canon once again), more than a few loose ends were aways destined to wiggle into existence as the years rolled by.

However, you do have to hand it to those ever-scribbling and evolving minds creating the world we have come to know and love over the last decade or so as more than a few apparent plotholes and mysteries have been solved and untangled in ways that range from the ingenious to plain-old lazy. Looking at you, fake gauntlet.

For every curious MCU case that is ultimately settled on the big or small screen, though, there is still another waiting around the corner that has been known to keep more than a few avid Marvel maniacs up at night. But you can finally rest easy as just like destiny, the truth is now set to arrive all the same.

From curious gaps in time that left us needing more, to simple questions that have inspired countless schoolyard debates, it's time to dive into those Marvel Studio mysteries that left you nursing a gnarly headache.

10. What Were Cap And The Gang Doing Between Civil War And Infinity War?

From the very moment Steve Rogers rocked back into our lives during the saving of Vision and Wanda Maximoff in Infinity War, MCU fans were instantly left wondering one thing; where in the hell had Captain America and his pals been in the time between this skirmish and Civil War?

Oh, and has another human ever looked so damn strapping with luscious long locks and facial fuzz?

The answers to that former query, though not officially unveiled on our screens, were actually delved into a little during the Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War Prelude comic, as it goes. Not long after butting heads with Tony Stark, Steve of course takes his pal Bucky to Wakanda to recuperate. It's here were T'Challa gets the chance to apologise to The Winter Soldier for his behaviour throughout Civil War and proceeds to offer his assistance in removing Hydra's mental conditioning from his mind.

Elsewhere, Cap frees his pals from The Raft, with a little help from a QuinJet-flying Natasha Rominoff, and those two, alongside Sam Wilson, then go on to battle a terrorist group attempting to smuggle Chitauri weapons. In short, they kept busy.
