Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Surprise Cameos That Could Still Happen
9. Captain Marvel

Although we'll have to wait until the beginning of 2019 to get our first look at Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, with an appearance in Avengers 4 to follow afterwards, it wouldn't be surprising in the slightest if the hero were to make a guest appearance in Infinity War.
Carol Danvers is said to be the MCU's most powerful hero yet, and while details on the fourth Avengers film are light, it would make sense that the Captain will take a starring role, especially with it setting a new course for the MCU as we know it.
With that solo film being a prequel too, and with the film releasing but a few short months before Avengers 4, it would make sense to introduce Danvers now either in a cameo or a post-credits sequence. Ant-Man and the Wasp may be following Infinity War shortly after, but while that film's setting is yet to be determined - along with the fact audiences are already familiar with those characters - devoting some time to Danvers right now could be the right move to make.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
