Captain America: Civil War - 11 Things From The Original Story They Can't Show You
8. The Watcher... Watches
Shortly after the tragedy of Stamford, all the heroes are gathered in one place to discuss recent events and the governments decision to establish the SHRA. It's obvious that many of the heroes are already conflicted and debate begins, with sides slowly being chosen. However, the mute presence of Uatu The Watcher causes them to pause. The Watcher only turns up to record incidents of great change and enormous upheaval and this final gathering of heroes (before the lines are drawn) is exactly that. His presence is not a welcoming one; it signifies that bad s**t is about to go down. Uatu is basically Marvels equivalent of Kanye West at an awards show. The Watcher is considered part of the Fantastic Four franchise and wont feature in any MCU films. If he did, hed be hanging around in the background so often that the local police would know him by name.
