Avengers: Infinity War directors reveal the off-screen fates of MCU supporting characters

Warning. Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War follow…

Avengers: Infinity War certainly delivered a major – and we do mean major – game-changer at its climax, as Thanos completed his quest to gather the Infinity Stones, snapped his fingers, and eliminated half of all life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While we saw a host of characters – Black Panther, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord, Groot, Drax, Mantis, Nick Fury and Maria Hill – turning to dust, we’ve had no indication as to how The Snap impacted the rest of the MCU. At least, until now.

During an interview with The Huffington Post, directors Anthony and Joe Russo have revealed the fates of a number of supporting players in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, grouping them into three categories – alive, dead, and too spoilery to reveal.

First up, the brothers confirmed that surviving characters include Howard the Duck (Seth Green), Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) and, more likely than not, Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o).

Less fortunate were Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander), Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), and the Asgardian actor resembling Matt Damon who portrayed Loki in Thor: Ragnarok., all of whom are confirmed by the Russos to be ashes.

And as for potential spoilers, the Russos refused to be drawn on the fates of Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), Shuri (Letitia Wright), Ned (Jacob Batalon), Korg (Taika Waititi) and Miek.

Now, if Joe or Anthony would care to reveal whether Cosmo survived, it would be much appreciated.
