It's getting into Serious Season now: mere weeks remain before the release of Captain America: Civil War, and the currency of information relating to the film is at its peak value. The new trailer provided the perfect opportunity for a lot more speculation, and while there's probably not a lot left in Marvel's marketing tank (aside perhaps from the inevitable TV spots that hopefully won't reveal too much), this is usually the point where rumours run most rampant. And in the case of Civil War, there are a vast number of unanswered questions feeding the rumour mill: who dies? Who switches sides? What role will Spider-man play? And what about unexpected character appearances? With just a month left until Marvel's biggest characters, this is the last chance to endlessly pour over the biggest rumours of the past few weeks dedicated to Civil War. All that remains now is to wait for the big show to kick off, but while you do, here's a final look at the latest biggest rumours and theories the Internet has spawned. Beware, obviously there are significant potential spoilers from here on...
13. FOUR Characters Die
According to now notorious rumour-mongers That Hashtag Show, not only will Captain America will die, but he'll also be joined on the fatality list by War Machine, Scarlet Witch and Falcon. Way to decimate the New Avengers team. Rating: 3/10 Paul Fieg has said that we shouldn't expect the MCU to be taking a wildly dark turn, so four deaths would be a pretty major stretch of that assurance. And the idea that Rhodey will die, after his "death" being shown in the trailer is clearly hogwash. But then this is Civil War and four casualties in a major war isn't exactly a big body count. Thinning the herd of more minor characters would be a major statement of intent.
