MCU Actor Ross Marquand Has Been Pitching a Captain America Infinity Stone Spinoff for Years

Actor Ross Marquand revealed he has been pitching a Marvel series for eight years about Captain America returning the Infinity Stones, culminating in a rematch with Red Skull.
For years, fans have debated how Steve Rogers managed to return all six Infinity Stones at the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. That lingering narrative gap has captured the imagination of the audience, and it turns out at least one MCU actor shares that enthusiasm. In a recent interview with Polygon, actor Ross Marquand revealed that he has been actively pitching a Captain America spinoff series focused on this exact mission for the past eight years.
Marquand, who took over the role of Red Skull from Hugo Weaving in Infinity War and Endgame, envisions a seven or eight episode arc where each stone gets its own dedicated episode. According to his pitch, the series would kick off with a planning session between Bruce Banner and Cap before launching into the logistical nightmare of putting reality back together. The climax would undoubtedly center on the Soul Stone on Vormir, leading to a wildly awkward reunion between Cap and his ancient nemesis, who is bound to the planet as a stonekeeper.
While Marvel Studios has not yet bitten on the concept, the idea remains a favorite among fans who love digging into the untold lore of their favorite franchises. With Avengers: Doomsday approaching on the theatrical calendar, audiences will soon see how the broader multiverse story unfolds. If the upcoming films skip past the specifics of Cap's time traveling detour, the community and actors alike will likely keep championing this story until someone makes it happen.
