Hints He Won't...

3. It Could Be Too Obvious

Sure, Captain America dying in Infinity War would be a shock, but it's of the same ilk as Han Solo's demise in The Force Awakens: it stuns and saddens you in the moment, but the signs are there going in.

That, then, could be the reason he won't die. Marvel want to surprise viewers, to ensure that their movie is unpredictable, and the shot of Cap facing Thanos was obviously put in the trailer because they want fans to be worried about him (and a job well done).

Similar to how so many thought he might die in Civil War, then, there could be another reversal of expectations here, with the writers instead having Cap survive just when we all think he's going to die.
