After years of staying tight-lipped on the content of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios isn’t about to let their tie-in merchandise give the whole game away mere months before release, but with fans desperate for further details, it’s only natural that a fair amount of toy-related material has been making the rounds online lately for the insight it might bring.
A new piece from the Express.co.uk, for instance, is taking some listings on Ozzie Collectables as potential hints of a few surprise returns. It seems that among the items being sold as Endgame tie-in products, you can find the listing “Dr Strange, Ancient One & Wong Cosbaby Set.” While Stephen Strange is one of a few snap victims to be get products under the Endgame title – others being Spider-Man and the Wasp – the Ancient One seems like a more unusual inclusion, seeing how she hasn’t appeared in an MCU movie since 2016’s Doctor Strange.
You could probably argue that Tilda Swinton’s character would be a pretty natural addition to this Doctor Strange-related set, regardless of whether she’s in the next movie or not, and you could certainly question just how much inside intel Ozzie Collectables has actually been given about the content of the Avengers: Infinity Wars sequel. Nonetheless, with executive producer Michael Grillo seeming to confirm last year that Swinton was involved in Endgame, it certainly looks like the late Ancient One is somehow showing up either way.
The Express article also points to the inclusion of Gamora and Loki in the list of toys – two characters that set photos have already heavily implied will be showing up in Avengers: Endgame. Whether or not either of these individuals may return to the world of the living, however, is another matter entirely, but we’ll find out when the film hits theaters on April 26th.
