Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

3. Silver Surfer Is In It

The Rumour: With Disney in the middle of a 21st Century Fox boyout and mounting rumours that Fox's X-Men universe is winding down in order to be incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, could this mean that Silver Surfer might make an eleventh-hour appearance to help repel Thanos?

The Truth: This was always wishful thinking at best, especially with the Fox acquisition still being hammered out, so it's to the surprise of roughly nobody that Silver Surfer didn't show up in Infinity War.

While it's quite possible that the character will join the MCU in a few years' time, it's highly unlikely the iconic superhero will appear in Avengers 4 either, given that the film wrapped back in January. A post-credits scene added before its release next May is probably the best you can hope for.
