Major Marvel Character Accidentally Confirmed for AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
I don't mean for the title of this article to be "click bait," but I don't want the spoiler sensitive souls out there to hunt me down and kill me for spoiling something in the title.
That being said, this bit of news regarding Avengers: Infinity War is kind of obvious to me and I'm sure to some other fans as well, but just in case... SPOILERS ahead.
While attending an event at the Smithsonian Institute, the Captain America: Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo's were talking about their upcoming Marvel film Infinity War. While talking about the movie they just happened to mention Captain Marvel. A fan jumped in and asked if they just confirmed Captain Marvel for the movie to which Russo replied, "Um....Captain Barvel. Totally different character."
Captain Barvel actually does kind of sound like a superhero that could exist in the Marvel universe but it doesn't, so Captain Marvel it is! But... wouldn't it be hilarious if a Captain Barvel did show up!?
You can read all of the reactions to the Russo's accidental reveal here. Like I said, knowing that we are getting a Captain Marvel solo film before Infinity War comes out, it was safe to assume that she would play a part in the story. I guess it's nice to have confirmation, though!
