Captain America Civil War: 12 Big Questions From Everything We Know So Far

3. Who Will Die?

One of the awful facts of war is that there are always causalities. Usually both sides will suffer losses, although in the case of Civil War, deaths may be rather limited for a couple of reasons. One is that there aren't that many characters you can really kill off in the movie, especially with Infinity War on the horizon, and superhero movies are aimed at quite a wide audience, so too much death won't sit well with many. However, it's still got War in the title, which means that someone is surely going to be biting the dust. Unlike the comics, though, I can't really envisage them killing off Cap at this stage, especially as Chris Evans has a part to play in the next Avengers movie, and the same can be said for Robert Downey Jr. Outside of those, though, and you could probably consider any of them fair game. Quicksilver has already died, so it might be too soon to kill off Scarlet Witch, while hopefully the Vision will have a big part to play in Infinity War. Who is the most likely to bid a permanent farewell then? It could be on of Falcon, War Machine, or even Black Widow, though the most likely seems to be Hawkeye, who survived Age Of Ultron despite seeming the likeliest casualty.
