6. The Teams

The Rumour: With the battle line drawn between Captain America and Iron Man, the rumours and theorising as to whose side each hero would be on really started to kick in. There were various iterations of the teams that were suggested, although one of the strongest rumours had Team Cap as including Vision, Black Widow, and even Quicksilver back in the early days, while Ant-Man was along those thought to be on Team Iron Man, with Scarlet Witch a wildcard in the middle.

Why It's Bullsh*t: Thanks to the promo artwork, and then more pertinently the actual trailers, we've had a chance to see how the teams line-up. Team Cap consists of Bucky, Falcon (both of whom were pretty obvious, to be fair), Hawkeye, Ant-Man, and Scarlet Witch.

Joining Iron Man, meanwhile, will be Black Widow, Vision, War Machine (again, obvious), Black Panther, and Spider-Man, meaning quite a few of those rumours were way off.
