Just when the upcoming Captain America the Winter Soldier film is only 2 months and away, the directors of the film right away confirm the third installment to the first Avenger. They seem confident that the Winter Soldier film will gross over a billion dollars in revenue and from what we've seen in the first trailer, they maybe right and if so, then 2014 now has another potential film competing with other films like Transformers Age of Extinction and the Hobbit There and Back Again all the way up to the top of the box office of this year's highest grossing films.
Also with Chris Evans being confirmed to return after Age of Ultron, speculations now narrow down to the one Avenger that Whedon intends on killing off,
Black Widow
I know some of you wouldn't want a character played by a beautiful hottie like Scarlett Johansson to be killed off in the film but apparently beauty and normal martial arts skills aren't gonna be enough for her to survive. And if anyone wants to know why Black Widow would be the Avenger that director Joss Whedon intends on having Ultron kill off it's simple. Scarlett hasn't mentioned anything about returning after the Avengers sequel and hints on her death in the movie are because of Joss Whedon mentioning that her role in the movie will be big as he said that her character's role in the movie will be "significant". Some of you may doubt it but think about it.
Whedon wouldn't dare make the robot kill off the two new recruits Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver because with the two mutant siblings being in league with Baron Strucker, Marvel would need those two to survive so that we can see them more after the sequel and I'm sure that Marvel would let them return so that in the future, they can make the ultimate choice to either prove themselves as Strucker's pawns or as true noble members of the Avengers but of course if Strucker and the two siblings survive they would be intended to return for the third Captain America film in order for that to happen
Plus if the Black Widow spin-off Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige mentioned today is in development, it's likely to be a prequel or if it's after Age of Ultron, it will very much feature flashbacks throughout most of the film while having to recover from losing her.
And if Steven Rogers does die in the third film, then if Sebastian Stan's character survives in Captain America The Winter Soldier, then he should be able to take on the mantle as the next Captain America for the third and final Avengers film..com)
