Civil War Isn't Over In MCU

At the end of Captain America: Civil War, there were a lot of questions that were left unanswered, so when the Russo brothers participated in an online Q&A recently, it's not surprising that fans wanted to know who really won.  In fact, one fan asked them just that, which side won the fight, Team Iron Man or Team Captain America?  Joe Russo answered the question by saying, "We always thought of this move as the start of the war.  It's not over yet."  So does this mean that we will see the results of Civil War spill over into Avengers: Infinity War, or could we see something much sooner when Black Panther gets released?  Let's look at these two possibilities...

It seems to obvious that we'll definitely see the spill over play a role in Infinity War, if for no other reason than the Russo brothers are helming that film, just like they did with Civil War, but also it will be the next movie that will feature all of the Avengers on screen at the same time.  While Anthony and Joe Russo didn't write Civil War, they were largely responsible for the storyline, and seeing how they are also going to direct Infinity War, it will be interesting to see how all of the Avengers end up fighting together again after the fallout from Civil War.  However, the movie Black Panther will be coming out before Infinity War, so we may find out a little more with that film than any of the other ones that are slated to be released prior to the next Avengers movie.  Doctor Strange won't likely cover anything that resulted from Civil War, since a lot of the film will be an origin story.  Thor: Ragnarok will deal with an Asgard issue, and not focus on Earth's problems.  Spider-Man: Homecoming might touch on things a little bit, since Tony Stark will be appearing in the movie as well, and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 obviously won't deal with the aftermath, since it takes place off-planet, but Black Panther is a whole different situation all together.  At the end of Civil War, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes went to Wakanda to escape the reaches of the world's governments who are after them both, with Bucky being put on ice until they can figure out a way to erase the "trigger" that was planted in his head.  Rogers, who no longer holds the mantle of Captain America, is seen talking to T'Challa (a.k.a. Black Panther) who tells Steve that he'll be safe there.  Does this mean that Steve Rogers will play some sort of role in the film?  Probably not, seeing how Chris Evans' name isn't on the list of actors signed on to appear in the movie, but Black Panther may still address what's happened to him.

What are you hoping to see from the fallout of Civil War?  What do you think will happen?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.  Whatever the case, we'll all find out May 4, 2018 when Avengers: Infinity War comes out in theaters.
