Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Biggest New Rumours You Need To See

7. Scarlet Witch Dies (Early)

Scarlet Witch Civil War — Marvel Studios

Rumour

Putting together details from the Edinburgh shoot and the first Infinity War trailer, things are really not looking good for Scarlet Witch.

She shot sequences with Vision in Edinburgh that seem to lead up to Corvus Glaive attempting to remove the Mind Stone from her robo-boyfriend's forehead, but evidence suggests he survives. When he appears in Wakanda (having apparently been rescued by Cap) in the trailer, he's injured, suggesting that sequence comes after the Edinburgh attack.

Notably, those Wakandan scenes don't seem to feature Scarlet Witch, suggesting that she doesn't make it there...

Captain America Vision Black Widow Avengers Infinity War — Walt Disney Studios

Rating: 1/10

Except, she is there. That's her behind Captain America - and not Captain Marvel as some enthusiastic commenters suggested. Why she's not in the Wakandan battle scenes is a different matter, but it's possible that Marvel actually WANT us to believe she dies and that she's been carefully left out of those scenes - just as Spider-Man was from the Civil War trailer?
