Marvel: 15 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Jan 15th)

Previously, there have been two schools of thought on the cast of Infinity War: first it was assumed that EVERYONE would be involved (who doesn't die before it comes out), but then the Russos seemingly suggested that they'd be focusing on a smaller, tighter character core.

Following on from that, it looks like we might have an actual list of who is in.

According to the Atlanta Actors Resource Guide, this is the confirmed cast:

"Starring in “Avengers: Infinity War” is BAFTA Award nominee Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin as Thanos, Saturn Award Winner Chris Pratt as Star Lord / Peter Quill, Teen Choice Awards nominee Sebastian Stan as Bucky, four-time Golden Globe Award nominee Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange, Academy Award winner Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, ALMA Award winner Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Empire Award winner Karen Gillan as Nebula, two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye, two-time Saturn Award nominee Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America, BAFTA Awards nominee Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet, four-time Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon, Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Vin Diesel as Groot, Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man, British Independent Film Awards nominee Benedict Wong as Wong, Action on Film Award winner Dave Bautista as Drax, BAFTA Film Award nominee Paul Bettany as Vision, Santa Barbara International Film Festival Virtuoso Award winner Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black Panther, three-time Academy Award nominee Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / The Hulk, and two-time Academy Award nominee Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man."

There's no Spider-Man there, BUT Tom Holland has recently spoken to L'Uomo Vogue to confirm that he is involved as well.

Rating: 10/10

Nothing really shocking there: only Nick Fury was a little up in the air, but he's pretty important to the underground Avengers, and there's precisely the position half of them find themselves in now, so it's not a surprise.

Expect that cast to swell as well.
