Chris Evans Says 'CIVIL WAR' Is The Setup For AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

Chris Evans says Captain America: Civil War isn't an Avengers movie, it's the setup for the real battle in Avengers: Infinity War. Interestingly enough, (and as many have surmised) Mark Ruffalo says Bruce Banner and the Hulk are NOT appearing in Civil War.

Speaking to MTV, Chris Evans stopped short of calling Captain America: Civil War an Avengers film. Instead, he revealed that Civil War is more of a "setup man" for Avengers: Infinity War. Said Evans, "Captain America: Civil War is the jumpoff into Avengers: The Infinity War. Civil War is going to be the setup for the real battle. So yeah, there are a lot of people - a lot of people in Cap 3."  

Watch the video above to see the rest of the Age of Ultron cast discuss appearing in Civil War and coyly tease where their allegiances may lie between Captain America and Iron Man.

In October 2014, Marvel first announced plans for a two-part Age of Ultron sequel titled, Avengers: Infinity War. Director Joss Whedon is not returning to the director's chair and will instead step aside for the Russo Bros., Joe and Anthony, to helm the culmination of Phase 3. The Captain America: The Winter Soldier writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are also joining the Russos on the project. Filming for both parts will be shot back-to-back and is expected to last 9 months. The Infinity War was originally a 1992, six-part miniseries from Marvel Comics, written by Jim Starlin and Ron Lim.

That movie sounds crowded enough without cramming Infinity War setup into it.

The universe is becoming more cohesive and I love it. AOU worked solid as a setup film but it def had a lot of threads to set up. Civil war only hs to really set up inifinty war whoch, I believe, part one will deal with a more earth based threat and then thanos will arose in part 2. Inifinty war part one may deal with some things people aren't expecting. Civil war too

Can't this movie just be its own thing instead of setting up a further setup

Mcu prides itself on connecting. As the universe grows, it becomes more like the comics connective tissue. It is a cinematic universe come on

I just hope the characters and storylines they set up in CAP 2 -- Bucky, Sharon, Crossbones -- have enough room to shine among all the heroes in this movie.

Feige did say Hulk will only appear in Avengers films but never know.

@Bl00dwerK

Yea. That's the only thing I'm worried about, that Bucky will be like a sub plot of a sub plot. I wanted Cap, Falcon and Widow kickin' ass searching for Bucky.

Looking forward to it. Though I wish Cap 3 was more if a solo outing. Could have been a great way to finish off the Winter Solider arc.

I hated the happy ending with Stark and Cap in AoU.....They should've walked away hating each other...Hence proper set up for Cap3.

I hope he just means that it's going to setup the states of the characters, and the world, and not that they're going to shoehorn in some stuff with the Infinity Gems.

Sweet, more set up.

The set up is KILLING these movies! ...well, aside from the jokes, the camp, the bad plotting, the poorly thought out characters, the terrible dialogue, and the racism.

Kinda guessed this and just happy to comment on a non josh wilding click bait thread.

I have to say 2016 is a giant year for CBM'S.this makes me so happy and the quality just seems to get better and better.

We should all be thankful for this!!!

@Brainiac13

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think it's a good idea for them both to have a happy ending in AoU. The fact that the two are ex-friends is a big part of the meat of the story.

I also heard a rumor that Infinity Wars Part II is actually a follow up on Infinity Wars Part I! Mind! Blown!
