Possible Details On The International Incident That Kicks Off CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
The official Captain America: Civil War synopsis mentions "another international incident" that fractures the Avengers and results in the MCU version of the Superhero Registration Act (probably "The Accords") being implemented. Click for some potentially huge SPOILERS...
Remember when Cap and Falcon find Bucky in the Ant-Man post credits scene and Rogers mentions that "The Accords" won't allow Iron Man to give them any assistance? Well it's being speculated that this is going to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe's equivalent of the Superhero Registration Act from Mark Millar's Civil War comic book. In the comics, the catalyst for this act being implemented is the New Warriors wiping out over 600 civilians in an attempt to subdue the supervillian known as Nitro, which became known as "the Stamford Incident".
So what will be the Captain America: Civil War version of this devastating event? According to Heroic Hollywood, it involves Cap (Chris Evans) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) going up against Crossbones (Frank Grillo), who just happens to be wearing a suicide vest packed full of powerful explosives!
"In order to protect the civilians on the ground, Captain America orders Scarlet Witch to levitate Crossbones above ground. She does and unfortunately is unable to contain the massive explosion that sets off near a populated building causing death and destruction."
Nasty business indeed. We've seen the set pics of Evans and Grillo engaging in fisticuffs and we know Olsen was snapped in the area, so that would sync up with the details above. We've also heard that Grillo's Crossbones wouldn't have that much to do in the movie and that also fits - unless he somehow survives the explosion.
What do you guys think?
