There are also some hints that the MCU's theatrical films will begin to explore the idea of the Multiverse.

A Civil-Warrior-centric episode could change the endings of either Captain America: Civil War or Avengers: Endgameand go on to explore the character's efforts to prevent a similar conflict in another part of the Multiverse. The anthology is intended to explore all the potential ways events in the MCU could have turned out differently for example, one episode will focus on what would happen if Black Panther's T'Challa was Guardians of the Galaxy's Star Lord. One of the easiest ways the character could be featured is in Marvel's upcoming What If.? series on Disney+. On the other hand, this seems unlikely, as Secret Empire was incredibly controversial with fans. While the context in which this version appears is completely different from the mobile game's Civil Warrior, it is an official comic run that filmmakers could theoretically pull inspiration from.

The Civil Warrior armor seems to have at least inspired Nick Spencer, David Marquez and Steve McNiven's Secret Empire#10, in which Steve Rogers' Hydra Supreme wears armor that seems to pull from both Captain America and Iron Man's arsenals. However, the MCU has shown it is willing to adapt and change classic plotlines to tell a good story, leaving the door open for a Civil Warrior debut. The Civil War arc has already been explored and resolved in the franchise, Tony has died and Steve has peacefully retired back in the 1940s. Given this backstory, it would seem that the chance to feature this version of the Captain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been missed.

Distraught over the murder of his friend, Cap incorporated Tony's armor and arc reactor into his own costume on a quest to prevent similar conflicts in the future. One of the more recent and compelling combinations can be found in the Marvel Contest of Champions mobile game in the form of the Civil Warrior.Īs a fully original character, there isn't any comic-book background on the alternate universe Steve Rogers and his in-game biography is equally mysterious. Comics have a long tradition of integrating two or more characters into one, as seen with Composite Superman, Amalgam Comics and the Batman Who Laughs, to name just a few.
