14. Previous Villains Are Resurrected By Thanos

The Rumour: Thanos will use the Infinity Gauntlet to resurrect a number of the previous villains the Avengers have faced, such as Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) and Ronan (Lee Pace).

How Likely Is It?: While the prospect of these villains getting substantial roles in any sort of final battle against the Avengers is incredibly unlikely, it's much easier to believe that Thanos could produce brief visions or hallucinations of these characters, depending on which Infinity Stones he manages to acquire during the movie.

Red Skull would probably be the safest best, even though Hugo Weaving hated the make-up process for the character. Ronan is a little less convincing, if only because he's set to appear in Captain Marvel next year, and it'd make sense to keep him under wraps until then.

Honestly, this could go either way. On one hand it sounds like wishful thinking from fans, but as a cute nostalgia trip, it could be pretty neat too. It's neither impossible nor especially probable. 5/10
