How are they going to end this?

I know Evans said he was quitting acting to direct and then backtracked.

Witch would lead to the inevitable conclusion if he leaves after his Marvel contract is up.

But if Evans is staying with Marvel, I am puzzled.

I guess they could change the ending but that seems piss poor.

Cap dies, Bucky becomes new cap. Evans free to do whatever. Errybody happy.

Evans said he wanted to direct but would still do marvel movies.
 
The government institutes a "Super Hero Registration Act" which means, in a nutshell, if you have powers, you have to use them for the government. If you have a secret identity, you have to reveal it to the government and be on their payroll, otherwise you go to jail.

Tony agrees with the Act as a measure to control super powers while Cap sees it as an encroachment of peoples' freedoms. The two fight, putting together their own teams of heroes who agree with their sides.

:O

#TeamSteve
#TeamCaptainAmerica
 
Cap dies, Bucky becomes new cap. Evans free to do whatever. Errybody happy.

Since we know Evans is already signed on for Infinity War part 1, I have my own variation on that scenario

Cap's side is losing, and things are getting extreme enough that he's afraid his side will be wiped out. He surrenders to Stark with a deal that the rest of his team gets immunity, or perhaps that they get to be high up on the board of those responsible for the new gov initiative (whatever it is).

Steve Rogers is taken to jail, Bucky assumes mantle of new Captain America, and Rogers tells Stark he still believes he's right (the new program will come with abuses, overall loss of freedom), and when they need him, they know where he'll be. Despite all of their conflict, he will still risk his life to help them when this new system goes to hell.

And come Infinity War, Steve is exactly who they need. He ends up making the greater sacrifice and dies at the end of Infinity War part 1.
 
The first Captain America film has a tone somewhat similar to something like the Rocketeer, quite old fashioned and campy. It has unspectacular action.

The second is more serious, like an action thriller with some espionage, drawing some elements from 70s political thrillers. It's got great action, probably the best of the MCU (cinema wise, Daredevil has the best overall) so far.

Both sound fairly interesting. I'll be sure to check them out, thanks! I really appreciate superhero films that break away from the expected genre.

If you didn't like the 1st because its first 1/3rd is a complete drag on repeat viewings, its plot is paper thin, and its villain sucks as a villain, then you might like AoU

I can't even really remember the plot, haha
 
Not a comic book person but I'm liking Captain America in the movies so far.

But wouldn't it be a fairly one-sided fight? Not quite batman vs superman but still, iron man should just be able to fly cap into space and asphyxiate him or drop him to his death.

Will it just be a bunch of posturing, some fancy fighting and then a third act realisation that they are all on the same team really, then go off and kick the real antagonist's ass?

Iron Man cannot fly into space.
 
Part of my problem with AoU, well one of many...is that I already knew about this movie and was already hyped for this movie and AoU just paled.
Cap will probably pull a Nick Fury at the end of this one.
 
so is War Machine going to be in this?

it would be interesting to see what side Rhodey takes...Cap's side since he is part of the new avengers, or Tony's side because, well Tony is his best friend?
 
He hasn't been confirmed but that seems like a glaring omission if he's not there.

Except, he is:

The new “Captain America” movie is cranking up in metro Atlanta and some of the stars have already been spotted out and about.

The threequel is based out of the new Pinewood Studios facility in Fayette County but will be doing filming outside that complex. I’m told there’s a big scene in downtown Atlanta coming up. More on that to come.

The movie stars Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Jeremy Renner, Sebastian Stan, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Chadwick Boseman, Don Cheadle, William Hurt and Chandra Shaker Sangam.

Holy shit, Thunderbolt Ross is gonna be in Civil War?!

EDIT: And Don Cheadle as well!
 
Is Thunderbolt Ross just going to be there to birch at Tony for annoying him? Because if so, that'd be hilarious

And Rhodey always goes Team Military. Tony is toast
 
so what side do you guys think Rhodey will be

#TeamCap since he is part of the new avengers


or #TeamStark because Tony is his best friend?

Team CAP (or whatever, i'm sick of this Team______ since i hate CivilWarThecomic) because he' must be tired of tony's shit.
 
House of M had some good moments but felt, to me, like a big hit piece for Wanda that the overall story didn't justify. It was a cool alternate universe with a warmed over, been done plot arc that didn't justify the assassination of Wanda's character.
It was also done as a giant "Fuck you!" to the rise in mutant numbers that went on under ... Clairemont, I think? I mean, most of the new characters introduced in the New X-Men series (***spoilers for New X-Men if you somehow haven't read it and care***)
died in a rocket strike on a school bus!
. Obviously in terms of global mutant population...

Don't really see it too much as a hit piece on Wanda, as she'd been established for a looooong time has having a pretty serious on-again-off-again relationship with reality. I mean, yeah, ultimately she's the cause and center point, but she's hardly the worst part leading into...

Civil War was just a mess. The intent was to have two opposing sides that were equally correct, but then the Pro-Regs started imprisoning people, heroes, who disagreed with them in The Raft without trial, and cloning Thor, and killing Goliath. Just generally being complete monsters. And then the story ended by telling us the two most idiotic things.

1. NO GUYS, PRO-REGS WERE TOTALLY RIGHT

And

2. Only Tony will have access to the registry in order to keep it safe, meaning this could all have been solved if they had just had a conversation instead of SHIELD immediately drawing down on Cap.
This. Civil War was a complete and utter clusterfuck of a mess of shit. You want to talk about character hit piece, Civil War + Iron Man = whatthefuckamIreading.jpg.

Guys, I'm totally right! We should totally be making every single super powered person register, even though I have constantly fought the government taking over my technology I am suddenly on their side. I mean, Reed Richards was already a giant piece of shit, so him suddenly turning all gestapo wasn't too unbelievable. Iron Man suddenly acting like the government would never, ever, ever in a million years abuse that power (that he doesn't show until the very end he doesn't plan to give them). It was just a giant mess.

And that Cap + NYC's "finest" scene. Holy shit that scene. Ugh.

OTOH, it did bring characters like freakin TIGRA out of the woodwork, so it wasn't a complete waste.


That's because Marvel has this obsession with Cap being the "bestest best" at everyone, and he can never wrong or be on the wrong side of an issue in Marvel's mind. But since the basis of Tony's argument actually made A LOT more sense than Cap's (his argument was always utterly ludicrous to me), they had to completely demonize Tony's side just to make "Captain MURICA" seem like the hero.
No, it's because there were literally NOT two good sides to the argument. The premise of "REGISTRATION BAD" literally goes back to the heyday of X-Men. That was one of the best things coming out of Civil War; Cyclops making it 100% clear that under no circumstances would the X-Men register THIS TIME either.
 
so at the end of AoU
it seems like Tony mentions laying low and settling down, so what happens that makes him jump on the registration train then?

I'd guess someone from the government approaches him and tells him all the right things - basically that if he helps them, he can stop
anyone else from making the mistakes he's made and it will absolve all his guilt
 
Isn't Cap like the weakest Avenger? How can he win against Super Hero gods or flying tinmam that shots lasers and rockets?

He doesn't need fancy shmancy tech to face ANYTHING. Tha's why he's the boss and that even Gods ask "how high" when he says JUMP
