Civil War Is Upon Us!

If any of you have been paying attention over the last 24 hours you will know that a HUGE development has been made over at Marvel Studios. It was announced yesterday that none other than Robert Downey Jr. has been signed onto the yet-to-be-titled Captain America 3. This is extremely exciting news for any fan of Marvel. This strongly leads us to believe that Captain America 3 will center around the Civil War storyline from the comics. If it's true (which is highly likely), then Captain America 3 will likely be subtitled with either "Civil War" or "Fallen Son."  

SPOILERS AHEAD; If you don't want to know about a key plot from the Civil War comic series that revolves around the death of a major character, 

then skip the next section. 

The "Fallen Son" revolves around the Death of Captain America. During a confrontation during this key story arc, Steve gets sniped by an assassin. Let's say for the sake of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that it will most likely be Crossbones that brings Captain America to his demise. Crossbones is the alias of the character of Brock Rumlow from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It's hard to imagine that they would introduce Crossbones at the end of the movie without leading to Cap's death. Personally, I don't know how they would fit Chris Evans into Avengers 3 if they kill him off in Cap 3 but I guess only time will tell. Needless to say that he will bite the dust in either Cap 3 or Avengers 3 and it will be extremely sad either way. We're talking serious tears here, people.  

Spoilers have now ended... continue on, faithful Marvelites.

According to Marvel President Kevin Feige, the working subtitle for Captain America 3 has been in the works for around a decade, so this Civil War storyline has been the goal from the beginning. Now that's a freak-ton of time to be working on how this universe is going to flow. It's so amazing to have this amazing storyline in the hands of people that care so much about creating an amazing universe with amazing movies. So far, Marvel is a nearly unstoppable train of colorful capes, shields, hammers, green people, and master assassins. I have total and complete faith that their future movies will be nothing less than amazing. What a time to be alive/ a Marvel fan...
