As exciting as it was to see Marvel Studios reveal the cast of Avengers: Doomsday at the end of March, even more intriguing for fans was who didn't get a mention.
There was no Hugh Jackman, Tom Holland, Ryan Reynolds, or Elizabeth Olsen (to name just a handful of absentees), prompting speculation about whether they're being kept under wraps or perhaps saved for Avengers: Secret Wars.
Comic Con Liverpool has announced that Captain Marvel star Brie Larson is the headline guest at its November show, leaving many to wonder whether the Oscar-winner will be in the UK at the time to shoot Avengers: Doomsday.
Adding further fuel to the fire is the fact that pretty much the entire Ahsoka cast attended last weekend's Comic Con Liverpool event, and they're all currently in the UK working on season 2.
While it may be a coincidence, it does seem likely that Larson will be based in the UK for something Captain Marvel-related. Remember, Russo Brothers have said each movie should take roughly six months to shoot, meaning it's also possible the Lessons in Chemistry star will be gearing up for Secret Wars by November.
"I think there is still so much inside of Carol," Larson said of the character's MCU future during The Marvels' press tour. "I feel like getting to be on this team just cracked her open in a way that she hadn't been and I really loved that for her."
"I don't want Marvel to come for me," she added, "but there is something. There is definitely something, to answer your question, that I would want to say, but I am not going to so."
