10 Ridiculous Captain America: Civil War Rumours We Hope Aren't True

4. Black Widow Is A Double Agent For Team Cap

The Rumour: This one's been talked about pretty much ever since Black Widow was revealed to be part of Team Iron Man. The fact that she appears to be conflicted in trailers has caused many to suggest that she may in fact be a double agent, working to sabotage the Accords from the inside out for Team Cap's benefit.

How Likely Is It?: Actually quite possible considering how close she is to Cap, but at the same time, it would also be an eye-rollingly obvious "twist", and Marvel have been pretty sneaky in the past about subverting our expectations (for instance, The Mandarin bait and switch). It's hard to imagine them leaning into something so lazy.

It would be absurdly unimaginative to go this route, but we can't really write it off either because it just makes a ton of sense. 5/10
