10 Ridiculous MCU Rumours We Hope Aren't True

8. White Wolf Is A Villain (Black Panther)

The Rumour: Last year, an apparent casting sheet for Black Panther made its way online, suggesting that White Wolf would appear as one of the movie's villains.

White Wolf is the alias assumed by T’Challa’s white, adopted older brother Hunter, who is enormously jealous of his younger brother and resorts to disproportionately brutal means to keep Wakanda safe.

Why It Shouldn't Happen: Look, the movie already has Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and freaking Man-Ape (Winston Duke) as villains, so it really doesn't need any more, especially another white guy no less.

Throwing White Wolf into the mix would also invite some potentially unpleasant racial discussions and, honestly, the movie doesn't really need that distracting from it.

How Likely Is It?: The casting call got a number of other characters correct (most improbably Man-Ape), but adding a fourth antagonist really feels like it would be way too much, so it's probably not going to happen. 4/10
