10 Bold Predictions About Every Upcoming MCU Movie

8. Iron Man And Cap Will Be Killed Off

You can't have an Infinity War without potentially infinite casualties. Literally nobody is safe from the crosshairs in the next two Avengers movies, whether they're comic book royalty, a galactic guardian or an iconic supervillain.

A set leak from Avengers 4 has already confirmed that the movie will include a public funeral, and the prime candidate to end up in that coffin has to be Captain America.

Chris Evans's Marvel contract will come to an end after Infinity War's sequel is done and dusted, and there's no word on an extension this time, but it's more than just bureaucracy pulling him towards the MCU exit.

Cap perished during Marvel Comics' Civil War storyline and adapting this tragically iconic scene would serve a much greater purpose than mere shock value. If Steve Rogers was to lay down his life in battle, his sacrifice would inspire others and reunite the splintered Avengers, repairing the damage done in Civil War.

The Avengers series could also kill off Tony Stark for many of the same reasons. Not only is Robert Downey Jr yet to renew is contract with the studio, if Marvel are looking for an impactful kill that establishes Thanos as a force to be reckoned with, this is it.

Marvel has made it clear that Infinity War and Avengers 4 will mark the end of an era for the MCU. What better way to wipe the slate clean than send its two most iconic characters out on a triumphant high?
