Fans of villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe were let down in Captain America: Civil War when Crossbones was unceremoniously killed in the opening minutes of the film. While his death and the subsequent damage from his suicide vest was the spark that kicked off the film's conflict, it was assumed that yet another villain with potential for recurrence was killed before being allowed to develop. However, according to actor Frank Grillo, we may not have seen the last of Crossbones.
While promoting the latest installment of the Purge on ABC news, Grillo gave a cryptic hint regarding Crossbones' fate. "You think he dies, don't you? Did you see the body? What did you see? That happened last time. I'm not saying anything except that...You didn't see a body." Those are pretty confident words considering we watched the character take a bath in an explosion. Of course, Crossbones came close to death in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as well, though this time seemed to indicate a bit more finality. Do you want to see Crossbones make a return to the MCU? Sound off below!
