8 Captain America: Civil War Rumors That We Hope Come True

7) Iron Man Heads Into Outer Space

Initially rumoured to be the ending of Iron Man 3, this also cropped up in relation to Captain America: Civil War not too long ago.

While James Gunn has outright denied that Iron Man will show up in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, it’s believed that the events of the war among Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will lead to Tony Stark deciding to leave the planet and take to the skies in search of the threat he believes is coming after the events of The Avengers. In fact, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America are all expected to be taken off the board for Marvel’s Phase 3 until Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2.

That makes sense because the focus of Phase 3 is clearly going to be all about the new heroes being introduced (Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, etc.), and seeing this happen would be great for a number of reasons.

For starters, it makes Iron Man’s eventual return all the more exciting – the same applies for Cap, who may be imprisoned, and Thor, who is expected to be captured by Thanos, of course – while this move could also set up Iron Man 4: Planet Hulk, especially as the Green Goliath is currently missing.

That movie may be wishful thinking unfortunately, but hey, you never know…
