Marvel is about to break apart their cinematic universe in 2016. Variety is reporting an exclusive story that Tony Stark will join the untitled Captain America 3 and go head to head against Steve Rodgers.
The movie will reportedly have the subtitle of either Civil War or Fallon Son. Regardless of the subtitle, the plot will remain the same. Due to the fallouts of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Stark will look to get the Superhero Registration Act moving and get anyone with super powers to register with him.
For those of you are not familiar with the Civil War comic storyline, which Marvel is remaking in 2015, Stark believes superheroes should register but Rodgers does not agree. This causes an all-out war between the two former friends and a costly end to Captain America.
One of the big parts of the storyline happens to be Spider-Man. Now there have been rumors that he could come back to Marvel sooner rather than later, but this seems to soon. He is uneasy on which side to choose and is recruited by both to join their side. They could easily change who this person is or write it out entirely.
Anthony and Joe Russo have their hands full again but reportedly want much more. Variety is also reporting that Marvel is eyeing the Russo brothers to direct not only Avengers 3 but also Avengers 4, due to Joss Whedon's contract running out.
We know that Captain America, Falcon, Iron Man, and likely Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, and Crossbones. Crossbones and Bucky are very interesting pieces to the puzzle. In the original comic story, Crossbones snipes Captain America after being arrested by Stark and SHIELD. Bucky on the other hand blames Stark for the death of his friend and decides he needs to kill him.
This storyline will truly test the loyalties of all of Marvel's characters. With Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vision, War Machine, Black Widow, and Hawkeye all rumored to appear in the movie, and possibly on Captain America's side, who helps Stark should be fascinating.
Now this is just my own speculation but what if Crossbones and Bucky decide it's best to register after seeing all the death and destruction they helped cause over the years. Having Bucky be against him again would certainly tear Rodgers apart inside and make him want to defeat Stark even more.
Stark will undoubtedly survive this and his reported $40+ million payday for appearing in the movie. This could open the possibility of Stark to jump from film to film and continue to be the face of Marvel for many more years. Could Stark eventually join the Guardians or perhaps cameo on Agents of SHIELD as he has stated he would enjoy? Only time will tell, but for now, enjoy this exciting news!
