10 Ridiculous MCU Rumours We Hope Aren't True

The Rumour: In late 2014, Daniel Radcliffe confirmed that he had spoken with Marvel, causing many to believe that he will show up in an MCU movie sooner rather than later.

Why It Shouldn't Happen: Radcliffe is a terrific actor, but honestly, he's just too recognisable a face for this series, and he's a much more interesting actor when he's taking creative gambles on left-field, art-house fare rather than blockbuster paycheck roles.

How Likely Is It?: Thankfully not very, because over two years without any confirmation is a long time, and knowing how notoriously stingy Marvel Studios are with their bit-player salaries, they probably couldn't afford his asking price anyway. 2/10
