9 Years Later, Captain America 4 Can Finally Put An End To The Team Iron Man Vs. Team Cap Debate

Summary

• Recent footage from Captain America 4 suggests Thunderbolt Ross regrets splitting the Avengers, supporting Cap's argument from Civil War.
• Ross rebuilding the Avengers may be politically motivated, not out of genuine belief, creating potential conflict.
• The upcoming Captain America film could play a crucial role in uniting the Avengers before facing their next battle.

Captain America: Brave New World can finally answer whether Iron Man or Captain America was right nine years after Marvel's Captain America: Civil War. Civil War was the catalyst that tore the Avengers apart before Avengers: Infinity War. The government wanted to hold superheroes accountable through the Sokovia Accords and Tony Stark believed the Avengers should follow suit. However, Steve Rogers felt the best hands were still their own and the Avengers needed to act independently of any political entities. While the film's ending leans toward Cap's side, the film does a good job of justifying both sides.
Nearly a decade later, there are still debates over whether Tony or Steve was correct. Some believe the MCU's superheroes are still too reckless about how they save the world, while others believe the fallout could be worse if the Avengers aren't allowed to act independently. Captain America 4 is continuing that storyline and recent footage featured a conversation that could end the debate for good.

1 Thunderbolt Ross' Regret Over Splitting Up The Avengers Shows Team Cap Was Right Close New footage for Captain America 4 was recently shown at the D23 Expo. The footage included an expanded scene from the trailer when Thunderbolt Ross, now President Ross, tells Sam Wilson that he wants Captain America to become an official military position again. In this footage, he also tells Sam he wants help rebuilding the Avengers. Sam reminds him that he tore the Avengers apart when he passed the Sokovia Accords. Ross says he now represents the whole of America and acknowledges half of them wouldn't be here without the Avengers.
If the central figure behind the Sokovia Accords admits it was a mistake, that is a massive indictment of Tony's argument and proof that Captain America won.
This acknowledgment shows Ross regrets his role in tearing the Avengers apart and admits that the world needs them. If the central figure behind the Sokovia Accords admits it was a mistake, that is a massive indictment of Tony's argument and proof that Captain America won. The Avengers' split was the worst thing to happen to the world, since they couldn't fight Thanos as a united unit in Infinity War, leading to his victory. Steve Rogers was right in saying, "We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own," and Ross' change of heart supports that.
Ross Could Be Rebuilding The Avengers Just For Political Gain Image via Marvel Studios Ross' mission to rebuild the Avengers is a show of good faith to Sam Wilson that he wants to move forward from their past disagreements. However, his statement that he represents the people of America means he may not be doing this because he believes it's right. Instead, he could be seeking more political goodwill with his delegates, and bringing back the Avengers could do that. Another moment from the footage shows Sam disagreeing with the President, and when Sam says, "This is bulls**t," Ross responds, "This is politics."

However, it's promising to see that he's moved away from his vendetta against the Avengers, convenient timing as the MCU heads toward Avengers: Doomsday. Captain America: Brave New World could be pivotal in how the team comes together before their next battle.
