Why That Deadly Civil War Rumor That Went Around Was Never Going To Happen
The following story contains MASSIVE SPOILERS for Captain America: Civil War! Do NOT continue unless you have seen the film.
Captain America: Civil War likely had it in the back of their minds that Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) might not make it to the end credits alive. Thats not as drastic a thought as you might realize. In the comics on which Civil War is loosely based, Rogers dies in the aftermath of the Civil War events. Hes being taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D., he is sniped by Crossbones, and then killed by Sharon Carter. Since we knew that Civil War had roles for both Brock Rumlow (Frank Grillo) and Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp), the possibility remained in our thoughts right up until the movie screened.
However, killing off Captain America was NEVER an option for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least according to Marvel President Kevin Feige (who knows all). Our own Eric Eisenberg put this question to Feige during a recent interview, asking him if killing Cap was ever discussed. Feige told us, point black:
No. We never even looked at that as
if you actually look at it, its not a part of the Civil War story. Its the next one. Im not saying well kill him in the next one, but we just never looked at it as key to the conflict. And we wanted that to be the focus of the movie, and the focus of the ending is maintaining that conflict. That makes sense. Captain America didnt have to die in order for Iron Man to prove his point. In fact, if anyone was going to lose their life, it likely was going to be Bucky, who admitted to Tony Stark that he remains haunted by all of the lives that he has taken, and yet, is still trying to atone for his sins. Bucky ends up losing his arm in the battle with Iron Man, and finishes Civil War in "sleep," in the safety of Wakanda and the protection of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman). Which means Marvel can bring him back
without playing the not-really-dead card.
And thats something that was in the back of Civil War screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeelys mind when they worked on this movie. As Markus told Eric in a separate interview:
The fact is that, you know, we are on notice for killing people and bringing them back [in the MCU]. You kill them, its not actually that. And McFeely added:
Youre going to kill him and bring him back in Infinity War? ... You [guys] hate it when we do that.
So no, our mandate, even though we werent, [we] hadnt officially been contracted to write it yet, though we were probably going to, we wanted to wreck the Avengers and leave them in a shattered state, before [Thanos arrives]. I do hate when "dead" Marvel characters come back. And judging by our comments section, so do the rest of you. So, Captain America was never going to die. Hes just in exile, waiting to return, in some form, when Thanos arrives on our planet. And you heard it straight from Marvels mouth. Do you think it was the right call? Weigh in below.
