Captain America: Civil War - 11 Things That Definitely Won't Happen

10. The Actual Trigger

We've not yet arrived at the knowingly self-aware period of Comic Book Movie making, despite the false dawns of Kick Ass and the ridiculously unwatched Powers TV show, so superhero reality TV isn't really a thing yet. Thankfully. That means that the whole New Warriors aspect of Civil War's beginning simply won't happen. The MCU hasn't yet reached the point where superheroes are so mundane that they're given prime time TV slots (a sure fire sign of over-saturation, as the Kardashians can surely attest): crucially, in fact, they're still viewed with a mix of fear and adoration. They're still walking (and flying) deities in other words. So, there won't be a botched attempt to take down a supervillain group that leads to the deaths of 600 people - including schoolkids - as the catalyst for the Accords. Because while Kevin Feige might be a brave creative influence, he's probably not in favour of killing children for effect. The Alternative The trigger is most likely to be Scarlet Witch. Borrowing something from the House Of M story arc, she will no doubt be a different prospect entirely to the end of Age Of Ultron (where she shook off the death of her brother surprisingly casually to become a New Avenger), and will be carrying some serious emotional wounds. There's a distinct possibility that Crossbones will appear in the opening sequence (perhaps to try and assassinate Captain America after drawing his attention nefariously), and that Scarlet Witch's powers backfire in some way, speeding the Accords into existence, when the world's governments realise that having an emo young lady with the power of Voldemort running around unregulated is probably not a good idea.
