With Avengers: Infinity War set to begin filming next month, rumors have already started to run amok thanks to a casting call on MovieCastingCall.org.
Before we get too excited however, one does have to remind our fine readers that there have been many rumors in the past revolving around casting calls that have ultimately turned out to be fake. So with that out the way and with a pinch of salt in between our fingers, the rumor in question apparently reveals the appearance of Star Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Captain Marvel and Black Panther, amongst many others in Infinity War.
Check it out below:
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.
Obviously this is exciting news for comic book fans who could potentially see the Marvel Cinematic Universe become even more interconnected with many familiar heroes all joining up to face the forces of evil. The Guardians have been long rumored to be making an appearance and their presence is to be expected due to the universal threat that Thanos holds.
However, the interesting news, that many hadn’t expected, is the inclusion of Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel who won’t be starring in her own solo film until March 8th, 2019. With her character potentially making a debut in Infinity War, this’ll certainly shake things up for what seems like a star studded blockbuster of epic proportions. On the downside however there is no mention of Tom Holland’s Spider-man. With production still being in its very early stages, circumstances can change although we’ll have to approach this rumor with caution for now.
Avengers: Infinity War will be hitting theaters on May 4, 2018 which will be followed by Part 2 on May 3rd, 2019.
