Avengers: Infinity War has just started filming, but we are already learning more and more about the upcoming epic that has been nearly a decade and more than a dozen films in the making. Kevin Feige recently commented that Thanos will not just be the main bad guy for the film, but that he could very well be considered the film’s main character. The other real question we’ve got is… who and how many other major Marvel characters can we expect to see? A new comment from Feige states that we can expect to see 68 Marvel heroes and villains in the film. Let’s forget about the fact that it seems like most characters would only get 20 seconds of screen time, and let’s just try to figure out who all could be included in the list.
Here are our guesses for who we can definitely, probably, and probably not expect to see when the movie hits the big screen in 2018. Given the constraints of some of the licensing deals, I’m having trouble coming up with 68 people who should be in this movie. Take a look at our list and see what you think.
Absolutely
