Updated Spoiler Intel for CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR and AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
Yesterday we shared some possible SPOILER information with you regarding Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Today we have some updated intel on that from Badass Digest. These new details debunk some of the rumors from yesterday's report and then offers up their own SPOILER-filled material.
I'm going to get into the spoiler stuff now, so if you don't want to know...
You.
Can.
Leave.
Now.
The rumor that hit the internet yesterday from Bleeding Cool said that on top of Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Black Panther being featured in Captain America: Civil War, we would also see Hulk, Thor, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, and a fourteen-year-old Peter Parker aka Spider-Man.
Badass Digest claims that the second list of names on the list may not be accurate. They say that they've seen two drafts of the script for the film and in both drafts the movie ends with the original Avengers splitting up and going their separate ways.
"Captain America and Nick Fury put together a new team, missing most of the big solo guns. Iron Man is done, Hulk is missing and Thor has returned to Asgard to deal with the events leading up to Thor: Ragnarok. Those last two are vital - my sources tell me they're sitting out Infinity War Part I as well, which means Marvel wants to take them off the shared universe board until they (along with Captain America) return in Part II. Bringing Thor right back for Civil War makes no sense. Bringing Hulk back makes even less sense, as his disappearance is a pretty big deal at the end of Ultron, and undoing that immediately seems silly."
The report goes on to admit that it is possible these characters could show up in a cameo capacity. They also says that since War Machine and Scarlet Witch are Avengers now it would make "strong" sense for them to show up in Civil War, but they don't think that Peter Parker will have a major role. As for the other characters:
"Ant-Man and The Wasp? Could be! There will be a Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But here's the thing about this rumor: it's just listing all the characters who have been in the movies. On some level I get that Civil War would bring in a lot of cameos (it was being called Avengers 2.5 in-house), but since the plan for Infinity War is so specific - a lot of the name brand Avengers will not be in Part I - I don't see Marvel just shoehorning everybody in here."
It was also reported yesterday that Quicksilver dies in Age of Ultron. Apparently that might not be the case. In one draft of the script Quicksilver does die, but in the most recent draft that they read, he doesn't. So there's a chance that he actually doesn't die, which is good. I think Quicksilver is a solid character to keep around. But things might have changed while they were shooting the film.
Both sites have had their hits and misses with leaked information, and I'm sure there is truth to both of them. We'll all know for sure when we see the events play out on the big screen for ourselves.
Badass Digest seems to have a lot of inside information, and they give us an educated breakdown of what they think we will see happen in Phase 3 based on the information they have:
I think that after the events of Civil War Captain America is no more - either dead or retired, possibly taking on the Nomad name. That film is very much setting up the next Avengers in a big, big way. After Ragnarok Thor is also out of the picture. The Hulk will remain missing or will pop up offworld. Cap's side will have lost the CIvil War, so maybe Black Widow and Nick Fury have gone deep, deep underground. Considering his general nature and the storyline of his solo movie, Ant-Man would also be on Cap's side if he's in Civil War, so he and the Wasp could join the spies on the lam. Iron Man is running the show when Infinity War Part I happens... and everything goes bad. It isn't until Part II that all the big guns come back, teaming up with the new kids like Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel and a whole slew of Inhumans, to take down Thanos and save the universe.
What do you think of this information, and how do you all think it will go down!?
