A Character From Captain America's Past is Confirmed To Return For AVENGERS 4

Another character has been confirmed for Avengers 4 and this one has ties to the past of Captain America. If you don’t want to know who this character is, you won’t want to read beyond this point:

I know a lot of fans have wondered if HYDRA operative Brock Rumlow a.k.a. Crossbones would return to the MCU, and it looks like we have our answer!

During a recent interview with the UFC Unfiltered podcast (via Games Radar), actor Frank Grillo confirmed the character’s return in Avengers 4. He told them:

“[Crossbones] makes an appearance in [Avengers 4], but it’s a flashback.”

He says it’s a flashback scene, but it could also very well be a scene that involves the Avengers going back in time. He didn’t go into any more detail than what he said above, so now it just up to the fans to speculate how Crossbones could end up fitting into the story.

What is it between Captain America and Crossbones that has to do with what the Avengers will go through in Avengers 4? Could it be the start of the tension between the team? After all, it’s the event at the beginning of Captain America: Civil War that pushed the Sokovia Accords into action which caused a lot of tension within the team.

I liked Grillo’s version of Crossbones and it will be interesting to see how he will fit into the story. What are some of your theories?
