Marvel: 12 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Sept 17th)

1. Infinity War Won't Feature Captain America Or Captain Marvel

Marvel Rumours Sept 17

As widely suggested in the past month or so, Steve Rogers will not be Captain America in Infinity War. He has cast off the identity after being driven underground and may take a different name entirely for that movie's story.

Also, while Carol Danvers is likely to appear, she won't become Captain Marvel until her own stand-alone. She'll just be a normal military human.

Rating: 9/10

Having Rogers play someone other than Cap would actually follow the comics, in which he became Nomad after becoming disillusioned with the US government. Whether he takes on the same name remains to be seen, but it doesn't make sense that he'd just get his shield back immediately and work for the government that imprisoned him.

And as for Captain Marvel, Kevin Feige previously promised she wouldn't arrive fully formed before her own movie, so it definitely fits that she'd just be Carol Danvers at first.
