Avengers 4: Could Captain America survive through the finale?

Everyone is speculating about which heroes won’t make it through the Marvel’s Avengers finale with Avengers 4. Could Captain America be one of the few to make the cut?

Chris Evans’ portrayal of Captain America has become one of the most popular characters to come out of the MCU. Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man might have kicked off the Marvel Studio’s reign over superhero films, but Captain America might be the best thing to come out of it.

The trilogy of Cap movies are among the highest earning and well-reviewed of any of the Marvel films. The first two Avenger’s films seemed to focus on Iron Man, but if you’ve seen the most recent Infinity War trailer then you know that reveal of Cap coming back was the highlight.

In the comics, technically speaking Captain America was not an original Avenger. He did not join the team until the later issues. However, once he did Cap became a symbol for everything the Avengers represent. He is the old pro that is there for everyone and never lets his friends down. Tony Stark’s Iron Man might be fun because of his quips and roguish personality, but Rogers is the hero you want behind the wheel when things go wrong. I think that Marvel would be wise to not have the Captain give his life for the cause.

Of all our heroes, Steve Rogers story might be one of the most tragic. He was a young man who just wanted to do his part for his country. His motivations for joining the cause weren’t because of guilt or grief, the young man just wanted to help. He fell in love with an incredible partner that he lost. Now he is on the run from the government that he gave everything up for. If anyone deserves a happy ending, it is Steve Rogers.
