New 'Avengers: Infinity War' Plot Details Are About Thanos AND Mephisto?
Marvel comic book fans already know that Thanos has a thing for Mistress Death, as he plans to win her over by collecting the Infinity Stones in "Captain Marvel". However, the Mad Titan isn't the only one who wants to get on Death's good side. Mephisto has also tried to impress her in the comics, and the demon is one of the baddies who helps Thanos find the Stones. So does this mean Mephisto will be making his MCU debut in "Avengers: Infinity War", or will he be replaced by a good-looking Asgardian?

However, that hasn't stopped fans from wondering whether the demon will be popping up in a Marvel film or TV series anytime soon.

Likewise, Mephisto would be a welcome addition to the highly anticipated "The Defenders," which is expected to air in 2017.
