While Avengers 4 is set to pit Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (well, the ones who aren’t dust, anyway) against Thanos once again, it seems the Mad Titan won’t be the only returning villain to make an appearance in the Avengers: Infinity War follow-up.
Back in September of last year, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War star Frank Grillo claimed that – despite his death in Civil War – Marvel still had plans for his character Brock Rumlow, and now we know what those plans are.
“[Crossbones] makes an appearance in the next Avengers movie,” said Grillo in an interview with UFC Unfiltered. “But it’s a flashback. Yeah and I’m allowed to say whatever I want because I’m never doing another Marvel movie.”
Given that Crossbones’ role is likely to be little more than a cameo, similar to that of the Red Skull in Infinity War, it’s unlikely that Grillo got to see much of the script, so it very well may be that this “flashback” is actually one of the heavily rumoured time travel sequences.
