He’ll Only Just Survive The Whole Thing

Tony Stark isn’t going to die in this movie – and neither is Captain America, for that matter. It’s already as good as confirmed that Robert Downey, Jr. will appear in the untitled 2017 Spider-Man reboot movie, and Iron Man will undoubtedly spearhead the assault on Thanos in the Avengers: Infinity War movies, so he’ll certainly make it out alive here – but only just.

By the time he and Cap come to the realisation that they’re being played (by Baron Zemo, of course, and possibly by Martin Freeman’s character), they’ll both be on the verge of killing each other. That realisation will come just in the nick of time and both men will be horrified by their actions – with Stark being particularly distraught, given his association with Baron Zemo – as the killing blow from both men will only be seconds away from being landed.
