CAPTAIN AMERICA 3: What Do You Want To See?

CAPTAIN AMERICA 3: What Do You Want To See?

With the recent news from Variety that we were getting a Captain America movie with Robert Downey Jr., I thought I would take this opportunity to ask what you would like to see in a Civil War influenced storyline for Cap's third installment.

According to Variety, the story of Captain America 3 will bring the MCU into a possible Civil War. "the plot will pit Stark against Captain America’s alter-ego Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, as they feud over the Superhero Registration Act, which forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their identities to the U.S. government and agree to act as a police force for the authorities. Stark supports the program, but Rogers does not, saying it threatens civil liberties, causing sides to be taken and Rogers, among others, to go on the run to avoid arrest. The moral question and battle with his Avengers teammate essentially makes Stark a villain of sorts in Captain America 3 providing Downey with a meaty role he could play out into future Marvel films, including a fourth Avengers.

I, for one, was a little disappointed by the fact that the story was not going to be centered around Cap's search for Bucky. Nonetheless, this new piece of information intrigues me and I have new found wishes and hopes for this film. Assuming that this is all 100% true and accurate, I would love to see...

1.) The movie beginning with Stark helping Steve search for his old best friend, Bucky. Things go awry when the U.S. government detains Stark and Steve, informing them of the "Superhero Registration Act."

2.) Cap takes a stand against the act, while Tony remains calm and points out the good it could possibly bring to society.

3.) Steve and Stark are allowed to leave, tensions increase between the two. Steve starts to distrust Tony, due to his seemingly positive support of the act.

4.) Steve is approached by the U.S. military for his arrest, after his legal and peaceful refusal to comply with the act. He goes rogue and hides.

5.) The government approaches Tony, forcing him to find Steve and hand him over to the government.

6.) Tony finds Steve. Steve and Tony throw down. Both badly injured, Tony is trapped and at Cap's mercy. Cap, almost ready to kill Tony after their brutal fight, leaves Tony and gets away while he still has time to do so.

7.) Bucky shows up (surprise) and brings Steve into hidding.

(It should be noted that these are general plot points that, if in the film, would put a smile on my face. It's not the whole damn movie...)

What would you like to see in this movie? What are your ideas for a Civil War movie? Do you think think Civil War is a bad idea altogether? Leave your thoughts in the comments below and let us know.

Just not a blatant retelling of the comic arc would please me. But it has to be badass no matter what.

Cap is on the search for Bucky as the U.S. Government (with aid from Iron Man) is on the search for Cap.

A Civil War story that makes sense in the MCU. Also for it to still feel like Captain America movie and not an Iron Man vs Captain America movie.

everyone will complain that there aren't enough characters to do the civil war story just yet, so to fix that i would like to see marvel introduce many more characters in cameo type roles, whether it be in cap 3 or other civil war related movies. maybe introduce jessica jones and iron fist or luke cage depending on who hasn't had their show released yet. almost like in the x-men movies, but hopefully a little better hashed out.

Ita pretty easy to see that the heroes will be divided and fighting each other for Cap 3 and Avengers 3. Cap will probably find and recruit Bucky at some point, then he will die at the end of Avengers 3, after the big brawl of heroes. ( possibly Crossbines will snipe him on the courthouse steps?)

Cap 4 will be Bucky taking over the Cap mantle, then everyine will reunite to take down Thanos in Avengers 4, much like they did with the Skrull invasion in the comics.

That last part is a bit predictable, but I can't wait to see it all onscreen.

One has to wonder, how could Hulk possibly fit in to all of this?

Also, Daredevil could easily fill the spot of Spider-Man as the character that reveals his identity for Stark, then switches sides. His identity is easily as important to him as Peter Parker's.

Would I do think they do need is for the audience to actually gravitate towards one character or the other. Don't just straight up make Tony the bad guy their should be a gray area for both like the really good and bad benefits that can come from the registration act. I guess the best way I could illustrate it would be like Twilight, in the sense that people were split between Jacob and Edward that's something that needs to be there.

DarthMarvell- i dont think that's a problem at all just make it about the goverment wanting to control the heroes rather than secret identities.

I'm looking forward to a Civil War storyline in the MCU. I'm glad that Marvel is adapting that story line for the Captain America 3 film.

I'm sure it won't just be an Iron Man v Captain America film but more on the lines of super heroes being split in two and how sides will be drawn and heavy consequences will be introduced in to the MCU and will affect not just heroes but everyone. Guaranteed this will be one of Marvel's serious films.

Pie in the Sky Storytime:

Following Age of Ultron, the World Security Council sees Tony Stark as a loose cannon, so they decide to bring him "into the fold" and appoint him to the council. Humbled by his failure with Ultron, Tony agrees and invites the Avengers in as global superhuman police. Cap leads the field team. Their first assignment is to investigate/capture/recruit a Manhattan protector of the everyman: Spider-Man.

The team (Cap, Hawkeye, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver) do surveillance on Spidey, but he initially eludes them thanks to his intimate knowledge of the New York cityscape and an puckish nature. Eventually, they track him down, scuffle a bit, and convince him to register... until Cap finds out the kid is just 16 years old.

Tony and the Council want Spider-Man, but Cap refuses to turn him over to become a "child soldier". Tony suits up to talk sense into Cap, but their parley comes to blows. The superhero team that Tony and Cap have put together is split down the middle.

And then Act 2 and Act 3 happen. I don't want to even try to figure out how to make a satisfying resolution to a Civil War storyline. I didn't care for the comic ending, so I hope they find a better way to resolve it than: "both sides are sort of right, but now everyone hates Tony and Steve is dead". Bleh.

Obviously, it's necessary to flesh out the ranks a bit for a satisfying match-up. Maybe Abomination is reintroduced and does battle with the pro-registration Hulk. Ideally they could find a way to easily integrate characters like She-Hulk / Goliath / or even Captain Marvel with minimal screen time devoted to "origins" (or even doing them in One-Shots in the Age of Ultron/Ant-Man DVD releases). Maybe a few C or D list Marvel-owned mutant characters as the result of whatever made Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch.

And all of it kicks off an era of Marvel movies that are less organized, less Stark-centric, with an Avengers 3 that perhaps follows a completely new team of Phase 3 heroes (Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Wasp, Dr. Strange, etc.) trying to pick up the mantle, so that when Thanos appears in Avengers 4, both generations of Avengers and pro/anti-registration heroes reunite (along with the Guardians of the Galaxy) to fight the cosmic threat in a two-part epic drag out film that resolves the infinity stones storyline and kicks off a new era.


Realistically:

I want to see what the Russos are capable of when they aren't trying to mimic 70's spy-thrillers, because 90% of my issues with the Winter Soldier were decisions they made in the pursuit of that aesthetic.

@ Gliderman

But the X-Men had nothing to do with Civil War in the comics. Iron Man and the government made a deal with them that mutants wouldn't have to register if the X-Men just stayed out of it, because if they joined Cap's side it would have tilted the power in his favor.

They didn't even mame that deal in a Civil War issue. It was in an X-Men comic.

As for Hulk, it is kind of sounding more and more like they might send him to space. They can't have Hulk join a side because he would pretty much make any team he joins the winner. They have to have a good reason for him to not be involved, so him being in space is pretty much the best reason. He might even be part of the reason the Registration Act gets created, because he causes so much collateral damage...

Also, whatever happens in Thor 3 must take Thor off the board as well...

I'm just wondering, we've been told what heroes will more than likely join Cap's team, but if thats true, it doesn't leave a whole lot of people readily available to join Iron Man's team. They'll either have to introduce a lot characters over the next few films, or just make Iron Man's team consist of government soldiers. Or, maybe they'll incorporate the Netflix characters as Iron Man's team, plus Antman and Dr. Strange?

I don't know, i've been saying for a while now that Daredevil is the perfect character to take Spider-Man's place as the character that reveals his identity for Stark then swaps sides. I can totally see that.

@MrSotoMan i happen to agree. I seriously doubt this was planned before winter soldier. But ive seen some people who are arguing that "marvels had this planned since the beginning"
Mrcool210
Mrcool210 - 10/14/2014, 9:19 AM
@MrSotoMan i would think the fact that they've really backtracked a lot of the endings of what they did in phase 1. Mainly the endings of iron man 2 and thor. "we want you to be a consultant. oops not really be an avenger anyway tony." "we destroyed the bifrost, you can't go back to earth. Oh wait except you can in avengers before we rebuild it super easy in thor 2" That alone proves that while i believe they have a general plan of what movie will come out they definitely are not planning every little thing like some of the MCU fanboys believe.

Mrsotoman, Mrcool210- i personally think marvel planned a civil war for a film but i doubt they planned it for cap 3. either way who cares with the Russo's at the helm im confident it will be a very entertaining film.

half of me is disappointed because i was hoping to see cap search for bucky and fight zemo but at the same time im super excited if this is true, after all until marvel confirms this it's better to consider it a rumor. i hope we get the bloody trailer to AOU soon im fed up of waiting.

@CorndogBurglar

maybe thor will join cap & the hulk join with iron man,as they are both sort of buddies with the heroes i've just mentioned & it will even the sides up better.

i know it didn't happen that way in the comics,but it might happen in the film.

If you're going to make a Civil War adaptation then you absolutely need Spider-Man. You need the F4 too, but they can get away without them.

MrBlackJack - 10/14/2014, 12:14 PM
All those rumors of Spidey joining the MCU in a supporting role are starting to add up too...
