Of all the many, many characters that featured in Avengers: Infinity War, there were one or two notable omissions that left viewers scratching their heads in disbelief.
Hawkeye is the big one, obviously, given that Clint Barton was originally part of the ensemble that battled the Chitauri (and Ultron!) throughout Avengers 1 and 2. But after the calamitous events of Captain America: Civil War, Jeremy Renner’s sharpshooter fell off the radar, where he was apparently placed on house arrest – same goes for Scott Lang, who’ll be back on our screens later this summer thanks to the release of Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.
But there’s another character who was once tipped to appear in Avengers: Infinity War as well. His name? Norrin Radd (Aka Silver Surfer), the cosmic entity who was rumored to show up in the event movie thanks to a deal Kevin Feige and co.
