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...)
