Sharon Carter Unlikely To Appear In Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War cast seems to keep growing. With around 76 members to be featured in the movie, you’d think everyone is in it, right?
While it’s assumed that virtually every still-living character in the MCU of any significance would at least be making an appearance in the film, it looks like Emily VanCamp’s Sharon Carter will not be appearing in the film.
In an interview with AOL’s Build series, VanCamp didn’t seem hopeful on her character showing up in Infinity War or its 2019 sequel.
“It’s hard to fit Sharon into that, she’s really in Cap’s world. She sort of fits into the Captain America movies, that’s where her sort of story lies, but I can tell you it’s going to be like an epic two-parter.”
Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres May 4, 2018.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Dove Cameron’s Character Revealed
Dove Cameron’s mystery character on Marvel’s Agents of Shield has been revealed!
Cameron is playing a character named Ruby. Though young, Ruby is exceptionally cunning. Ruby also has a strange obsession with Daisy “Quake” Johnson (Chloe Bennet).
Ruby is also the daughter of General Hale (Catherine Dent). For those who need a little reminder, General Hale was that high-level government agent who executed her two subordinates after Fitz (Iain de Caestecker) was able to escape the Blue Raven Ridge facility with a cryo-freeze capsule and the Zephyr One.
Cameron is best known for her roles in the Disney show Liv and Maddie and the movie Descendants. We’ll see Ruby appear in the March 2 episode.
Marvel’s Agents of Shield airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Petition Started To Renew Marvel’s Inhumans
ABC hasn’t made an official cancellation of Marvel’s Inhumans, however the show’s future isn’t looking too promising. But for a handful of Marvel fans, they believe the show deserves a second season.
Marvel fans have launched a petition on Change.org, calling for ABC to renew the show. It’s no doubt inspired by other superhero-related petitions, such as the call for the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League.
The petition writer accepts that Inhumans has problems, but in their view they were more to do with execution. The show was fast-tracked, with the first two episodes shot in just 20 days. What’s more, it was clear Marvel and ABC hadn’t given the series a particularly notable budget for special effects. As the result, even the series’s defenders admit it “lacked the feel of a MCU level show.”
Will they be successful? What do you think?
