13 Upcoming Superhero Movies That Could Beat Civil War
2. Avengers: Infinity War
Why It Could Beat Civil War: What else can top Civil War but not only the next big "milestone" MCU movie, but a two-part saga that's going to be the culmination of a decade's worth of world-building.
Seeing Thanos in action for the first time will be something truly special, and getting to see Tony Stark cracking wise with Rocket Raccoon (hopefully) just has too much insane comic potential.
Why It Might Not: This really could be a make-or-break for the MCU, a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth considering how many characters are going to be crammed into a 5-hour, two-part movie.
While Civil War is hardly a simplistic movie, it will likely seem so compared to Infinity War, and perhaps also more elegant in its execution if Infinity War becomes a mess, as it so easily could.
Plus, there's every possibility that a hulking CGI giant in Thanos battering The Avengers won't end up as satisfying as the Machiavellian Helmut Zemo's unexpected plot to tear them apart.
