Which Call of Duty characters have been confirmed to return in Modern Warfare 3?

Recently leaked photos of the Monster energy drink promotional material suggest that Captain Price and Ghost will definitely make a comeback in Modern Warfare 3. Both of these legendary characters are clearly depicted in the leaked image. Cpt. Price can be seen directly behind the logo on the promotional poster, and Simon "Ghost" Riley appears on the Monster Energy Drink's can itself.

The leaked images also hint at the iconic villain Makarov making a comeback. Behind Captain Price's picture in the image, fans can catch a glimpse of a sinister eye looking at him, which fans claim to be none other than Makarov. He was referenced at the end of MW2's campaign as well as at the end of Episode 4 of Atomgrad Raid.

But it isn't just them. Since it is the direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2 (2022), fans can expect characters from Task Force 141, like Soap McTavish and Gaz, to appear. Moreover, popular characters like General Shepherd, Farah, Alejandro Vargas, Kate, and Alex are also expected to return.

As for the plot, little is known at the moment. However, since the MW series' campaign continues, Task Force 141 and its allies might finally encounter Makarov and eventually pour cold water on his evil plans.
