AVENGERS: ENDGAME: Some Fans Believe A Major Character Death Was Just Spoiled By...Serena Williams?!
This is a weird one. In a now deleted social media post, tennis player Serena Williams may have spilled the beans on one of Avengers: Endgame's biggest deaths. Needless to say, SPOILERS follow (maybe).
Serena Williams is known for being a world-class tennis player and... being responsible for spoiling Avengers: Endgame?
As silly as it may seem, the Instagram story below (which was shared during Sunday's Oscars ceremony by the athlete) finds Williams seemingly talking about the death of Captain America before a friend points out that it's supposed to be a secret. Now, it's possible she's referring to something else Chris Evans has appeared in or is just misremembering Avengers: Infinity War. Or, she's trolling fans!
What makes it really interesting is the fact the video was quickly deleted after going live, but how would Williams know this piece of intel?
Well, we know that test screenings have taken place and it's entirely feasible that an early cut of Avengers: Endgame has been shown to select celebrity friends of the cast and crew.
Throw in the fact that Captain America is one of the most likely candidates to meet their maker and, well, there could be something to this after all. For now, though, it's best not to take this too seriously, but you can surely see why this has generated so much discussion over the past 12 hours.

To see some hi-res Infinity War concept art of Captain America in his
Super Soldier and U.S. Agent outfits, click on the "View List" button below.
The rolled up sleeves is a very cool look for this rugged Steve Rogers and the camo style pants work really well with the faded Avengers uniform which no longer boasts the star/Avengers logo.
A completely different look for Captain America, this would have seen the hero completely ditch his uniform for something new. The problem is, it's too much of a departure from his classic look.
Something I would like to know is, what's the deal with that awesome looking spear! Was Steve originally going to be given a Wakandan weapon to fight with rather than that new shield?
A good look at the back of Captain America's costume in Avengers: Infinity War, it's amazing to see the amount of thought which goes into bringing these characters to life on the silver screen.
Marvel Studios' concept artists have confirmed that this suit was based on U.S. Agent and it would have been a lot of fun seeing Captain America taken down this direction after the events of Civil War.
Keeping the U.S. Agent theme, these are a little more subtle in terms of colour and would have made more sense for Steve given how he feels about the government and Sokovia Accords.
The red here works surprisingly well but I can't help but feel that these designs would actually be better suited for a villainous Captain America like the one seen in the Secret Empire storyline.
These versions of Captain America's suit are said to be inspired by the "Super Soldier" uniform he wore when he returned from the dead and Bucky was serving as the current Captain America.
Due to the way the Secret Avengers were introduced, we didn't get to see anything of them embarking on covert missions under the government's radar but this artwork depicts one of those.
It looks like Marvel at one point envisioned Captain America heading to the Middle East because these combat fatigues definitely appear to be inspired by mercenaries fighting over there.
Captain America's new shield was designed while work on Black Panther continued, hence why these early versions are so different to what ended up making it to the big screen in Infinity War.
