The holiday card itself isn’t terribly extravagant, since it doesn’t feature Tom Holland in hisSpider-Man costume, or Chris Evans in hisCaptain Americacostume, or Robert Downey Jr. in his Iron Man suit. The card just features the three actors in normal clothes, each wearing a Santa hat although there is mistletoe placed above Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans. Perhaps this holiday card is a subtle hint that Cap and Iron Man could “kiss and make up,” or set their differences aside fromCaptain America: Civil Warand come together inAvengers: Infinity War.
The conflict between Cap and Iron Man was certainly at the heart of theCaptain America: Civil Warstory, which ended with Cap dropping his shield, leaving the Captain America moniker behind. As hinted at in the firstAvengers: Infinity War trailer, Steve Rogers has spent his time in Wakanda, adopting the “Nomad” look from the comics. It still remains unclear if there will be another character to take over the Captain America mantle, but there are a few possibilities, since both Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) have taken over as the new Captain America in the comics.
During an interview last week, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige hinted that thefirst 5 minutes of Avengers: Infinity Warwill be “devastating,” revealing that fans will understand why Thanos is, “the biggest and baddest villain in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe” within the movie’s opening moments. It’s possible that perhaps one or more of the MCU’s most iconic heroes could be killed off within these opening moments, providing a huge shock for audiences and cementing Thanos' status as the most devastating MCU villain. Whether or not that will actually happen is uncertain, but there are several other ways for Thanos to prove he’s the ultimate MCU villain.
