At the end of Avengers: Infinity War a lot of characters disappear.
Could this event be related to which actors didn't sign on for other movies? Is there a link between announced movies, end credits, actor retirement, and the event?
Examples:
Bucky is announced twice as White Wolf (post-credit in Black Panther, then clearly named in Infinity War), meaning that he will have this role soon. And he shared the fate of Black Panther. I don't see a better way to connect those two.
Doctor Strange has a movie incoming.
Shield agent has an incoming series.
Vision is dead, but Scarlet Witch disappeared but one must be left alive to to mourn the other, from a narrative point of view. So Scarlet Witch has been chosen too.
Is there any sign out-of-universe that will reinforce the idea that the chosen people were chosen for a production-related reason?
