How One Avenger May Die In Captain America: Civil War

What team will you choose?  That was the question asked in the preview for Captain America: Civil War that was shown during the Super Bowl this past Sunday night.  As you can see in the above picture, Captain America has Falcon, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, the Scarlett Witch, and the Winter Soldier.  That last one mentioned will be playing a big part in the movie's storyline.  Just to get this out of the way, ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!!*** ahead!

So Geek.com is reporting that there were two endings that were written for Captain America: Civil War.  In one of them, Steve Rogers survives, and in the other one, he dies.  I've talked about this in previous posts.  It's been rumored that after the war between the heroes, Captain America strikes a deal with the government that grants immunity for everyone who sided with him during the battle.  After reaching this deal, he's paraded out onto the steps of the Capital Building to announce his "surrender".  Then he's shot dead.  Geek.com is reporting that it's at the hands of Crossbones.  This is unusual because Frank Grillo (the guy playing Crossbones) specifically said in an interview that he doesn't get to kill Captain America.  Sure, he could be lying and trying to misdirect, but that's unusual for an actor to do, I mean, to straight out lie about something.  They might dance around the question, but that's usually it.  So take this bit of news with a grain of salt.

They are also reporting that Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes (a.k.a. the Winter Soldier) has been fitted for a Captain America costume.  It's been teased that one of three people could be taking over the role of Captain America after Rogers' death, Falcon, Sharon Carter (Agent 13), or Bucky Barnes.  If the news about Stan being fitted for the costume is true, however, then this little dilemma seems to have been answered.  Makes sense, though, considering that he took over for Cap after he died in the comic book version of Civil War.

It should also be noted that Chris Evans has signed on to appear in at least one of the Infinity Wars movies, so he might not stay dead long.  Either that, or he'll just appear in flash backs or something.  We won't find that out for another couple of years.

Captain America: Civil War comes out May 5, 2016.
