1. A New Avengers Line-Up
All things considered, events in the Marvel Cinematic Universe seem to be pointing towards the Avengers splitting into permanent factions in the long run. The reasons behind this theory are threefold - the first is due to the simple fact that there are going to be far too many heroes to comprise just one team (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Ms. Marvel etc), the second is that Civil War is set to split the heroes down the middle, and the third is that the upcoming heroes tend to point towards the formation of a live action version of the West Coast Avengers. With Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Vision around, you imagine they'll join the likes of Hawkeye and Iron Man on one team, while Captain America, Bucky Barnesy and Falcon et al would form another team. Not only will the two factions fight in Civil War, they could also potentially go on to have their own separate movies after Phase 3 (though they would obviously have to join forces - along with the Guardians of the Galaxy - to fight Thanos in the Infinity War movies first).
