Other than who the hell is going to pop their clogs and the location of that pesky Soul Stone, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War’s biggest mystery is probably surrounding the appearance (or lack thereof) of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain Marvel. We know Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers will appear in her own standalone movie next year, but, aside♈ from that, there’s been a maelstrom of misinformation and crossed wires a✅bout her possible debut in Avengers 3. 

Let’s get to the bottom of it, 🐟starting at the beginning…

October 8, 2015 - Captain Marvel gets a release date

to its March 2019 (pre-Avengers 4, lest we forget) release date to accommodate for both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ant-Man and the Wasp and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Homecoming. That puts the movie in much closer proximity to Avengers 4 than Infinit♑y War...

May 5, 2016 - The Russo Brothers accidentally reveal Captain Marvel for Infinity War

As reported at the time, a slip of the tongue by the directors at an e🐓vent at the Smithsonian led to even more tongues wagging. When called out on inadvertently spilling the beans, Joe Rosso replied, sharp as a t🌄ack: “Um… Captain Barvel. Totally different character.”

July 23, 2016 - Brie Larson announced as Captain Marvel

This is nice and straightforward. At SDCC 2016’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios panel in Hall H, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Brie Larson was announced as C❀aptain Marvel amid much fanfare. Here’s where it gets muddl♍ed: , at the time, seemed to indicate that Captain Marvel was meant to appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but the cameo was scrapped. Confused? That&rಌsquo;s not the half of it.

December 20, 2016 - Leaked cast list includes Captain Marvel

added fuel to 𝔍the fire by reporting on a cast list that included Captain Marvel. She’s in, right? Surely?

January-June 2017 - Infinity War set visits confirm Captain Marvel in Infinity War

Ok, bear with me. A lot of places are reporting that the Russo Brothers confirmed that Carol Danvers will show up in the third Avengers movie : “We have some great female characters in this:𓃲 Captain Marvel is in it, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch,” says Joe Russo.

And he’s not lying. But the interview is from a set visit which took place in 2017, with the emba๊rgo only lifting a few days ago (as of writing), and in the meantime, some things have changed…

of Captain Marvel’s presence on set during the same visit, so as of 2017, she was definitely in Infinity War. So, what’s happened?

June 25, 2017 - "She's not in Avengers 3"

Ah, here we go - it looks like Captain Marvel was going debut in Infinity War, but her role has since been🃏 cut.  

In a chat with , the Infinity War directors finally confirm that Captain Marvel won’t be in the movie. Reading between the (time)lines, the reveal of Captain Marvel’s solo movie being set in the ‘90s, as well as various moving parts with the third Avengers movie mean that, after the press set visits and before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SDCC 2017, the decision was made to cut Ms. Danvers from the crossover extravaganza.🐻 

Probably for the best really. My head hurts.

TL;DR? Captain Marvel was in Infinity War, but, for one reason꧃ or another, her role has been cut and Brie Larson won’t be appearing in Avengers: Infinity War. Phew.
