Of course we all know that in the long run they will get past their differences and combine against an outside foe. (Or will they?).

EDUCATED GUESS SPOILERS THAT I HAVE NO BASIS IN FACT FOR


















I think the events of Civil War will play up the events of Infinty War Part I. I think Tony's stance will have far reaching consequences on the ability of Earth to fight Thanos in Part I. Remember Tony's vision of the broken Avengers and Steve blaming Tony for the failure? Here's what I think happens:
- Civil War plays out with both sides surprisingly evenly matched until one team member is gravely hurt or killed. Steve surrenders to stop the violence, and is then seemingly assassinated publicly, ala the comics. Tony takes this hard.
- Chris Evans has said he wants to direct. This gives him a break to do other stuff. In the meantime, Bucky takes up the mantle of Captain America in Steve's absence. Sebastian Stan is signed on for a bunch of movies.
- What will be interesting to see is how they play Tony. I could see them making Tony director of new SHEILD and having him hell bent on proving himself right, doing stupid things leading up to the failure of the Avengers to stop Thanos. Or, I could see them playing him distraught at Steves death and having the Avengers fall apart, so Thanos is able to crush them individually.
- Meanwhile, we know Ruffalo is going to be in Ragnorok, so Hulk has evidently gone to Asgard. Thor and Tony already have a contentious relationship, so I could see those two checking out of Earth for a while.
- I still say the Guardians show up in Infinty War Part II. Probably bring Steve back for that one as well in an all out battle. And Steve will lift and use Mjornir.
