3) The Death Of Captain America
The Civil War comic book concludes with Captain America surrendering after realizing the peril that the fight between the two sides of heroes is putting normal people in. In an epilogue, Steve Rogers is shot dead by Crossbones, and as a result, speculation has been running rampant ever since Captain America: Civil War was announced that the same will be happening on the big screen next year.
As a result, this has become a popular rumour, albeit one which has been confused somewhat by the fact that Chris Evans has actually revealed that he starts shooting Avengers: Infinity War next year.
Captain America being killed would certainly shake up Phase 3 in a major way, and would also give Sebastian Stan’s Bucky the chance to wield the shield as he did in the comic books. For that reason alone, this happening would be great to see, and such a shocking moment would ensure that Captain America: Civil War cements itself as THE “vs.” film of 2016 by adapting a moment from the comics guaranteed to overshadow Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in a major way.
That aside, and the fallout alone in the MCU from Cap’s death is something which is worth exploring.
