Avengers: Infinity War - 13 Biggest Rumours You Need To See (May 15th)

5. There Will Be MORE New Characters

Rumour

According to Drax - former WWE star Dave Bautista - when he appeared on the Talk Is Jericho Podcast, fans should be prepared to see some new faces in Infinity War beyond the veterans...

“Those are the prominent Avengers that have been in all the films, but they’re really just adding so many characters in this. ‘Cuz they’re also starting to introduce other characters like they did in Captain America [Civil War]. They’ve brought in Spider-Man. But they’re going to start moving into different phases of Marvel. So they’re introducing other characters. Black Panther. They’re gonna go a whole series of Black Panther.”

Rating: 5/10

There surely can't be any more space? In truth, Bautista may only be talking about the inclusion of the likes of Captain Marvel, who has been heavily rumoured for some time, or to the new Avengers recruits we've seen only used as supporting figures so far (like Ant-Man, Black Panther and Spider-Man).

Or maybe he's just talking about the addition of Peter Dinklage's mysterious character? There can't really be more Avengers coming in, can there?

It wouldn't be implausible to see the likes of Nova, Beta Ray Bill or Mar-Vell introduced for minor roles, but there's limited runtime to start introducing whole new characters with no back-story (assuming they're already doing that with Carol Danvers).
