<p>Here are the supporting characters that will probably appear in Avengers: Endgame </p><p>
</p><p>
Ancient One- It has been confirmed! I loved the Ancient One's performance in Doctor Strange, and I am anticipating that she will play a pivotal role in stopping Thanos, even if it's in a flashback.  </p><p>Valkyrie- She was not seen in Infinity War, and many sources have confirmed that she survived Thanos' assault on the Statesman as well as Thanos' Snap. So I think that she, Korg, Miek, and many Asgardians will make a cameo. </p><p>Red Skull- After Captain America: The First Avenger, his fate was left ambiguous, until Avengers: Infinity War. So I really hope that the evil leader of HYDRA returns and faces Captain America once more. </p><p>Winter Soldier- Sebastian Stan does not know if he is appearing in Avengers: Endgame according to an interview, but I think he will be resurrected or will be seen in the Soulworld. </p><p>Hela- Many people are speculating that Thor Ragnarok's Hela not only survived Ragnarok, but will also play the role of Death. It is possible, but unlikely that she is actually Death. It wouldn't be a surprise if Hela was in the fourth Avengers film to help the Avengers. A reddit theory also linked her unknown status at the end of Ragnarok to Loki's resurrection, further explaining how she could possibly factor into the events of Avengers 4. </p><p>Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, Darcy Lewis- The Infinity War comic book confirmed their survival. Therefore, it is possible that the three brilliant scientists could help Scott Lang, Shuri, and Hulk create a portal that connects to the Quantum Realm, or the Soul World. </p><p>Peggy Carter- She will probably appear in a mid-credits scene and ask Steve to dance with her, if rumors are accurate. </p><p>Gamora- It has been confirmed, but what role will she play? Will she also be resurrected/ </p><p>Loki- Set photos indicate his return.  </p>

<p>With Avengers: Endgame coming out in almost a month, many fans have wondered who the main villain is. Thanos? Nah, at least not the main one. Last we saw him was in peace and some could assume he was remorseful for his destructive actions. I mean, the Black Order, are all deceased. I am doubtful that Avengers 4 will somewhat have a replay of the events of Infinity War in which Thanos has his army against the Avengers. It could happen, but that could defeat the purpose of Avengers 4. The Russo Brothers have been discreet about the plot of Endgame as well as Marvel. </p><p>
</p><p>In my opinion, the true villain of this whole saga are nothing other than the Infinity Stones. Let's think about it, Supreme beings come into contact with these stones through war and violence (at least with the Reality, Power, and Mind Stone). We saw that the Asgardians procured the Aether from the Dark Elves after defeating them in The Dark World. We don't know how the Tesseract came into the possession of Odin, how the Time Stone came into the possession into the Masters of the Mystic Arts, or how any of the other stones ended up where they were. The use of an Infinity Stone results in destruction or death, as seen in Guardians of the Galaxy. Now we are unsure as to how Thanos originally located the Mind Stone. It is possible that it came to him and has been possessing him ever since. If Thanos did encounter this artifact during his childhood, it would explain how he knew about the existence of the stones. Thor: Ragnarok weirdly included a fake Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's Vault. The predominant theory is that Odin once found all the Infinity Stones and upon realizing their true power, he scattered them across the universe. This could explain how Hela knew that the Infinity Gauntlet on display was fake and that the Tesseract was not bad. Also interesting is that Red Skull mentioned that the Infinity Stones give its owner some sort of wisdom. </p><p>
</p><p>Let's not forget that with Captain Marvel and possibly with an undead army of Asgardians and Thor, Thanos could be easily outmached, so there would have to be another villain, unless Thanos resurrects his army with the waning powers of the stones. And oddly, the trailers barely show footage of him.</p>

<p>Should the stunning Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra portray Ms. Marvel in a future standalone film?</p>

<p>Those of us who watched Avengers: Infinity War know what happened in the beginning; Thanos and the Black Order assaulted the Statesman ship in search of the Tesseract. They ended up slaughtering half of the Asgardian population, with the exception of Valkyrie, presumably Korg, Miek, and others. Now, there's this specific scene that bewilders me. As Loki stalls, Hulk attacks Thanos, and members of the Black Order and Thor watch the fight, but where's Loki? Moments after Thanos inserted the Space Stone into his Infinity Gauntlet, Loki stepped from behind a massive pile of rubble, and he calmly tried to assassinate Thanos. However, minutes before, he looked horrified and fearful of his fate. So, I am assuming that Doctor Strange summoned him as Hulk challenged Thanos. Now Doctor Strange would have contacted Loki prior to the Battle of Titan, when he was using the Time Stone. Doctor Strange could have analyzed the instance in which Thanos was defeated, which involved Loki being murdered by Thanos, and therefore, he could have travelled back in time to inform him that the fate of the universe partially is dependent on him. Now him dying would allow him to go to either Hel or Valhalla. Hel is the more likely, because Loki is not an Asgardian and he did not die fighting. But since MCU mythology is not completely Norse mythology, anything could happen. Anyway, Loki's mission is to go to Hel and ask his sister Hela to supply the Avengers with a formidable undead army to combat Thanos and his own army. If other Asgardians such as Heimdall and the Warriors Three were located in Niflheim, then Thor's strange visions in Age of Ultron came true. </p>

<p>Valkyrie- She was last seen on the Statsesman ship as all the Asgardian refugees fled their homeplanet before Ragnarok was enacted, thus destroying the realm. However, she was not spotted in Infinity War. Thankfully, the Russo Brothers and Tessa Thompson herself confirmed that Valkyrie survived both the Attack on the Statesman and the Snap. What's more curious is that Thompson reported that her character is "well in one piece, and thriving." Sounds like a confirmation. Additionally, she was spotted filming for the Infinity War set at St. Abbs in Edinburgh, Scotland and at the Durham Cathedral. For those who are worried that those were cut for Infinity War, well the Russo Brothers have misdirected fans and I doubt that they would spend massive amounts of money and time just to misdirect Marvel fans. It is extremely likely that she will appear.</p><p>
</p><p>Nakia, Ramonda & W'Kabi- Two other characters who were noticeably were not in the film were Nakia & W'Kabi. W'Kabi's absense is understandable given that at the end of Black Panther, he was presumably incarcerated for his complicity in aiding Erik Killmonger (another character whom I'd love to see return in Endgame). Nakia and Ramonda were both left alive at the end of Black Panther, but they also did not appear in Endgame. Because Infinity War killed off half of the Wakandan population, including Black Panther, and since Shuri's fate was left uncertain, it would make sense if the three supporting characters returned, since they were the most prominent characters in Black Panther who did not die. A Marvel producer mentioned that Nakia and W'Kabi's storylines were not forgotten and will be addressed soon. Furthermore, Russo Brothers stated that she (Nakia) was on an espionage mission in an unidentified country. It is safe to assume that these three characters will likely have a small appearance in Endgame.</p><p>
</p><p>Red Skull- Since his curse waned after Thanos obtained the Soul Stone, the Red Skull is apparantly free to pursue an Infinity Stone and return to his old goals. Even if Red Skull does reappear in A4, I highly doubt that he will rebuild HYDRA. However, it is extremely possible he will return, perhaps in a flashback or he may even pose as a villain. Who knows?</p><p>
</p><p>Kaecilius, Karl Mordo, other Masters of the Mystic Arts- Since Avengers 4 is dealing with time traveling and since the executive director of Avengers: Endgame confirmed that Tilda Swinton will reprise her role as the Ancient One in the movie, it is possible that, since Mark Ruffalo mentioned to have previously worked with both Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett, Hulk could travel to Kamar-Taj and encounter some affiliates of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, such as Kaecilius or Karl Mordo. Apparently, someone filming a scene for Avengers 4 reported Mads Mikkelsen as part of the cast. Although this is unlikely, we can expect at least a few members of the Masters of the Mystic Arts to appear in Avengers: Endgame.</p><p>
</p><p>Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, Darcy Lewis- Jane Foster has been absent from the MCU ever since her appearance in Thor: The Dark World. When asked about her fate, the Russo Brothers refused to reply, saying that her fate was too spoilery to reveal. Suspicious and interesting. Natalie Portman hasn't ruled out the opportunity of reprising her role as Foster. Since Thor will probably not survive Endgame, this will be the best time for Jane Foster to appear in the MCU. Furthermore, a recently-produced Marvel novel corresponding to Avengers: Infinity War featured Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, and Darcy Lewis investigating the Snap. Since the Quantum Realm is a contributing factor to the ultimate defeat of Thanos, Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis, and Erik Selvig could possibly help build a machine that connects to the Quantum Realm, since both Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne, and Wasp disappeared during the Decimation. </p><p>
</p><p>Korg & Miek- Two supporting characters from Thor: Ragnarok who were also absent from Infinity War were Korg & Miek. Since then, one of the executive directors of Avengers: Endgame reminded fans to keep Korg in their prayers. Wow, he is possibly alluding to Korg's death. But, it is extremely possible that these two are in one piece and are with the surviving Asgardians, such as Valkyrie. Kevin Feige also confirmed that Marvel has big plans for Korg and Miek. It is safe to assume that Korg, Miek, and other members of the Sakaaran Rebellion will make some cameo in the film.</p><p>
</p><p>Ghost & Bill Foster- These two Ant-Man & The Wasp characters could return because they were presumably left alive at the end of the film, and Bill Foster had knowledge about the Quantum machine. Building a second Quantum device could also allow Ghost to channel quantum energy through her body to further cure her from her condition.</p><p>
</p><p>Hela- As she is the Goddess of Death, she can't really die. Although the MCU universe is different from Norse Mythology, Hela is the Goddess of Death and the ruler of Niflheim. As we know, Hela draws her power from the realm of Asgard itself, but since Asgard was destroyed, her powers would have been diminished. Many fans have believed that she is in fact Lady Death. The Russo Brothers have promised that Death won't appear in any of the MCU films and merging Hela with Lady Death in Avengers: Endgame will convolute the whole plot. However, Hela does have a lot of room to return in Avengers: Endgame. Around May 2017, filming for Avengers: Infinity War (which is most likely for Avengers: Endgame) occurred, and Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, and Cate Blanchett were the notable actors who were spotted in the area. At the cathedral, there were props, such as an Asgardian statue as well as a Celtic door, which were used in Thor's nightmare sequence in Avengers: Age of Ultron. In an interview with Cate Blanchett, the same Asgardian statue was seen in the surrounding area. Avengers: Endgame draws inspiration from Return of the King, and Thor takes on the role of Aragon, who recruits an undead army. So it's possible that Thor travels to Hel and bargains with Hela. Cate Blanchett has also expressed interest in reprising her role in Avengers: Endgame</p><p>
</p><p>Nova Corps- Avengers: Infinity War did not include the scene of Thanos obtaining the Power Stone. Since Xandar was not in Avengers: Infinity War, the Nova Corps could possibly make an appearance in the last A4. The Avengers could obtain the Power Stone from Xandar in the past and a few corpsmen such as Irani Rael and Rhomman Dey could make a cameo.</p><p>
</p><p>Collector- The Collector, who appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, was confronted by Thanos, who pillaged and destroyed his museum after he retrieved the Reality Stone. Benicio del Toro confirms that the Collector survived Thanos's assault on Knowhere. Since time travel is happening in A4, a few Avengers could travel to Knowhere to obtain the Reality Stone from the Collector, which was at the time in the state of the liquified Aether.</p><p>
</p><p>Kraglin Obfonteri and other Ravagers- Fans were assured by James Gunn, through a post on social media, that Kraglin has not been forgotten, and will make an appearance soon. Possibly, Tony Stark and Nebula are rescued by the the Ravagers.</p><p>
</p><p>Odin- Since Odin met his end during Thor: Ragnarok, it is possible that he could appear to Thor in a vision, in which he advises him to travel to Hel to raise an army of undead soldiers from Hel. Since Frigga is reported to return, why shouldn't Odin?</p><p>
</p><p>T'Chaka & Erik Killmonger- Although very unlikely, it would be interesting and funny to see both these characters in the Ancestral Plane giving Shuri advice.</p><p>
</p><p>Jasper Sitwell, Phil Coulson, Jack Rollins- Clark Gregg has not ruled out the possibility of a small cameo for Phil Coulson in Avengers: Endgame. Jack Rollins was credited for Avengers: Infinity War, but never appeared in the film. Jasper Sitwell's actor Maximillio Hernandez was spotted at an Avengers 4 charity event or something. Since set photos show the Avengers travelling back to the Battle of New York and given that Crossbones is returning in the film, along with other surprising characters such as Ancient One and Frigga, we might see a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents such as Phil Coulson, Jack Rollins, or Jasper Sitwell interrogating a restrained Loki.</p><p>
</p><p>Barton Family- The released Avengers: Endgame trailer features Hawkeye slaughtering Japanese hostiles (presumably members of the Yakuza) for some unknown reason. Fans have speculated that he now assumes the persona of Ronin. It is possible that his whole family was snapped, motivating him to become Ronin. For those who remember that Clint Barton was on house arrest, well I don't think that matters when half of the universe was killed off. </p><p>
</p><p>Chitauri & Outriders- Not all the Chitauri and Outriders were wiped out, so it is likely that Thanos could command a horde of these creatures in the final Avengers movie.</p><p>
</p><p>Black Order & The Other- Since A4 deals with massive time travel, what's to stop the Black Order or The Other from returning in Avengers: Endgame. I mean if the Avengers are fighting off against Thanos in unison, one would think he would have formidable reinforcements, other than the Chitauri and the Leviathans.</p><p>
</p><p>Undead Asgardian Army- Since Avengers: Endgame draws inspiration from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Thor, Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, War Machine, and Rocket Raccoon could travel to Hel to obtain an undead Asgardian army with Hela's help. Perhaps, he could also meet his fallen friends, such as Heimdall, Volstagg, Sif, Fandral, or Hogun, although highly unlikely. </p><p>
</p><p>Quicksilver- Ever since his death in Avengers: Age of Ultron, fans have speculated if Quicksilver will return in Avengers: Endgame. Actor Aaron Taylor Johnson was spotted in Atlanta around May 2017 during A4 filming. So does that mean he'll return. The actor gave up hopes for fans, stating that it was irrelevant. But he could be concealing the fact that he is actually in the film.</p><p>
</p><p>Nick Fury & Maria Hill- As both are credited to appear in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the odds are high that they will appear in Avengers: Endgame.</p><p>
</p><p>Lady Death- Even though Avengers: Endgame will 99% not merge Hela and Lady Death, what if Lady Death actually appears in the film. Last I remember, her one and only mention was during the post credits scene of The Avengers. What if Death, or a more powerful mysterious villain is lurking in the shadows? </p>

<p>It has been confirmed that the Ancient One will have some appearance in Avengers: Endgame, will Hela have a short appearance, since Mark Ruffalo mentioned that he previously worked with both actresses on a collaborative film? And anyway, would the Goddess of Death win or the Sorcerer Supreme?</p><p>
