10 Incredibly Clever Moments Of MCU Movie Foreshadowing

9. The Dead Avengers - Captain America: Civil War

It might not have been conscious - though the way the MCU has been plotted towards Infinity War in more recently years means it certainly could be possible - but there's a big hint in the first act of Captain America: Civil War of who will survive Infinity War.

When the Avengers are brought in to be debriefed after their disastrous African mission (which ends in the death of hundreds when Scarlet Witch tries to stop Crossbones killing Cap), they sit around a conference table and their seated position gives away the hint.

Captain America, Black Widow, and War Machine all sit on the left of the table, while Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Falcon sit opposite on the right. Tony Stark might be away from the table, but he's definitely on the side of the first three. And as if by magic he and the "original" Avengers survive the click while the three opposite them are killed.

Were the Russos planting that cheekily?
