Look at the fanboys cheering…
Look at the DC fearing…
Check out the news we’re hearing…
Way we’ve always done before…

Call it Cap-Am v. Doucherman: Dawn of Oneupmanship. Civil War will obviously have to be changed a bit, since nobody in the cinematic Marvel Universe actually has a secret identity to unmask (maybe Ant Man will, but that’s hardly an earth-shaking crisis). And Variety reports that after teasing Iron Man comebacks all week while promoting his other movie The Judge, Robert Downey Jr. is back…not yet for IM4, but Cap 3.

Badassdigest adds a LOT of potentially spoilery stuff, which I’ll hide some of below…

Remember when I told you Cap wouldn’t be in Avengers 3? This is why. At the end of Cap 3 the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be in a tough, dark place, with the heroes scattered and defeated. That will continue through Avengers 3, and it will leave the world open to the threat of Thanos in either Avengers 4 or the big universe-wide team-up movie, whichever comes first. ..just when you assume it’s Thanos in Avengers 3 – they throw a curveball at you.

How will Civil War play out? I know that at the end of Age of Ultron Tony Stark retires from The Avengers and possibly even from being Iron Man. He feels very responsible for what happened in that film, as the Ultron project was his brainchild. Here’s my guess for Cap 3: with that in mind, and aware of the destruction his out of control robot caused, Tony thinks that the Age of Miracles is too unregulated. With the fall of SHIELD there’s simply no one keeping tabs on everybody. That scene of Black Widow in front of the Congressional committee in The WInter Soldier was a late addition, and it speaks to this – these super beings are answering to no one. And Tony decides that’s wrong. Which brings him into direct conflict with Captain America, who is still leading a team of Avengers. I don’t think this will follow the exact outline of the comic book story, but simply take the concept and the beloved Marvel idea of heroes battling.

Does Cap die in this movie? Like I said, I’ve heard the title Fallen Son getting tossed around a lot.
