MCU Characters Who Will Certainly Die In The Multiverse Saga – Looper Staff Predicts

Several of my esteemed colleagues have thought this long and hard. Several MCU characters are nearing the end of their natural arc in the months to come, and selecting one of them is good hustle, and I respect that. Personally, however, I’m the kind of gambler who puts all the chips on zero, then runs around the table whooping while the other players patiently wait for me to realize I’m at the Blackjack table. Hence, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Sorry, the MCU, your original Captain America is toast.

Steve had a good run. He helped beat Thanos (Josh Brolin), switched careers from superheroing to timeline renovation, and got to spend the rest of his days sitting out all sorts of crises while waltzing the night away with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). Not a bad life for a guy whose first 25 years or so were a non-stop conga line of humiliation, tragedy, war, deep freeze, and waking up just to find that your entire social circle is dead and the aliens are invading.

The fun thing with Steve is that after pulling the Old Steve stunt in “Avengers: Endgame,” he’s soundly in storytelling limbo. There’s no way they’ll bring him back to die onscreen, because that’d suck attention from the MCU’s current need to establish Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) Captain America. In other words, Steve probably won’t be seen again, so he could die offscreen at any given moment. For the purposes of this article, we’ll say that he dies … what’s the next MCU project to arrive? “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” or “Secret Invasion?” Oh, let’s say five minutes before one of those drops.

After all, who’s going to say otherwise? Until someone peeks inside the box to see if he’s alive, you can’t prove that Steve Rogers didn’t die just now. Sorry, everyone — Schrödinger’s Cap wins the day.
