13 Last Minute Questions For Captain America: Civil War
2. Will The Ending Follow The Comics?
The Question: The ending of the Civil War comic sees Cap surrender himself to avoid any further casualties, and ends up assassinated by a brainwashed Sharon Carter on the steps of the courthouse. Will the movie go down the same way?
The Likely Answer: This has been the biggest question ever since the movie was first announced, because on one hand, just following the comic beat-for-beat would be extremely predictable for any comic book fan, but on the other, the moment is so potentially impactful that most fans probably wouldn't mind all that much.
Given Marvel's track record with subversion, we'll go with yes, but a modified take on the ending. It won't be anywhere near beat-for-beat, and will probably involve a ton of misdirection, with Crossbones about to take the kill shot on Cap before Bucky's hidden programming kicks in and he's actually revealed to be the shooter.
It would certainly feed into the idea that Civil War's third act is "an emotional horror movie" as was famously mentioned in an early review, and leave everyone with plenty to discuss once they picked their jaws up off the floor.
