so how does Thanos fit in to them moving towards this civil war stuff?

They will need something huge to bring them back together......

Which makes it seem like Thanos threatening Earth is pushed to A4.

I love theorizing so....
1. AoU has the major fallout, Cap creates new team (maybe backed by SWORD), Stark goes into Secretary of Defense/Politics, Thor returns to Asgard, Hulk goes into space.

2. Cap 3 plays out the post-AoU storyline of Cap vs. Stark, includes Stark looking for the murderer of his parents...WS

3a. Thor gets a purely cosmic film (no Earth scenes), perhaps with Hulk
or
3b. Hulk is in Guardians 2
or
3c. Hulk has a standalone Planet Hulk movie

4. Other characters introduced - Strange, Ant-Man already, then some selection of Panther, Marvel, an unknown (Wonder Man!)

5a. Civil War continues to play out in A3. Cap team vs. Secretary Stark and Registration (or some scaled down form of it)
OR
5b. If one theory is true, A3 is about a completely new team. So Witch, Plus maybe Thor and Widow with the other new characters

6. In either case, Hulk RETURNS to planet Earth to warn the heroes in the beginning of A4 (or in a post-credit scene), just ahead of....

Thanos. Heroes reunite. Battle ensues.


If Thanos is not the plan for A3, I would expect him to be a major villain in either Guardians 2, Thor 3 or the standalone Hulk film.
