CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Directors Tease Film's "Controversial" Ending, and A Familiar Face Returns to The MCU
We're only a few months away from Marvel Studios' next film, and as you know, it's going to be a big one. Captain America: Civil War sets the stage for Avengers: Infinity War, and directors Anthony and Joe Russo spoke with Empire Magazine about the tonal shift we can expect in the new movie. Here's Joe:
"The consequences of Civil War will have an even more significant impact [than The Winter Soldier]. In Civil War, we're going to change the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Psychology, and it's an extreme shift. Winter Soldier was a political thriller; this is a psychological thriller."
And Anthony promised that the film will have a "very dramatic ending that will be controversial for a lot of people." Potential SPOILERS ahead: Many people are taking this as a confirmation that a major character death will occur. In the Civil War comic, Steve Rogers dies at the hands of Crossbones, and if the movie adapts that aspect of the story, it stands to reason that this could be the controversial ending they have in store for us. A lot of people are already assuming that Rogers will end up resurrected in Infinity War Part 2 (thanks to one of the Infinity Stones) so he can help the team take down Thanos once and for all.
As for that familiar face I mentioned in the headline? That'd be Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts, who was involved in recent reshoots of the movie. No word on whether those reshoots are legitimate or just an elaborate way of spreading disinformation, but we'll find out soon enough.
Captain America: Civil War opens on May 6th.
