According to MTV news, Captain America: Civil War will be the final entry in the Captain America film series

"While at an LA event celebrating the in-home release of ?Avengers: Age of Ultron,? MTV News asked Marvel mastermind Kevin Feige about it, and he was unequivocal? that this is totally the wrong question. Because ?Civil War? is, first and foremost, a conclusion to the triptych saga of Captain America Steve Rogers.

?It?s very much, in a certain way, the completion of a Captain America trilogy,? Feige said. ?I think one day you?ll look back and watch ? ?Captain America: The First Avenger,? ?Captain America: The Winter Soldier,? and ?Captain America: Civil War? ? and it?ll be one of the most unique and different trilogies ever around a single character.? "

That's a shame, given how much I love the character. Then again, every time I've watched Winter Soldier or either of the Avengers films I've not really liked him so much. They fail to capture the magic of Steve in the first film, I guess.

At the very least I hope we get some kind of conclusion to this other arch he has. Killed because he just can't step down from a fight. Or realises that sometimes it's necessary to step down from a fight.

He'll still probably be used in the final two Avengers movies. This just means he won't have anymore solo films.

It would still probably be better to finish off his war-obsession that Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron brought up by the end of Civil War, unless Civil War ends up being the set-up for Infinity War.

It will be lovely to see him in the next Avengers (didn't Evans say he isn't finished with the MCU now?), but I will miss his solo outings when the two we have are among my favourite from this series.

Edit: And I typically haven't found him specifically very engaging in the Avengers films thus far, probably because everyone in those films seems to lose the identity they have in their own films.

Either that they using that aftermath of the Civil War comic or it means they ran out of villains for him to fight cos all but one Nazi related villains are dead or MIA (the Baron is the only one left at the moment unless Red Skull will reappeared in the future).

Given how Chris has a 6 movie contract, and he's already done 4 of them (Cap: First Avenger, Avenger 1, Winter Soldier and Avengers 2) it makes sense given how the good Captain is likely to due in Infinity Wars. The only down side to this is it effectively confirms that Bucky won't be taking up the mantel afterwards, though there's no way he won't be making more appearances given his 9 movie contract.

It'll be a shame given that I think Evans is one of the best castings of the entire MCU, but if Civil War's his last real outing, then hopefully it'll be a good'un. I doubt it'll top Winter Soldier for me, but here's hoping the Russo's can make lighting strike twice.

According to several news sources, Chris Evans is on the set for Infinity War right now and he will be there for about 9 months which means that he probably won't die in Civil War.

I don't believe that for a second.
Evans' run may be over, but we'll have a reboot within 10 years.

Maybe he lives in the movie, but Cap America will be in the Infinity Wars movie. Even if they may have Falcon take over the Cap role like in the comics.

I'm really hoping they do kill him off at the end of Civil War. Admittedly this is mostly so that I can have a excuse to hate movie Tony Stark as much as I do his comic-book counterpart but still, thus far the Marvel heroes have had plot-armour up the ying-yang (Quicksilver notwithstanding) and I think it would be a good lead-in to the Infinity Saga to kill off the Marvel Universe's champion.

I'm betting that they're gonna do that to cliffhanger Infinity War Pt. 1 but this wouldn't be a bad take. Either way they'll find a way to bring him back to life because audiences like Cap and Chris Evans likes playing Cap.
Chris Evans is on record stating he wants out of acting to be in the director's chair. With how much money he already has he can live a good lifestyle on the interest alone, so it's not as if money is an issue. If he does renegotiate his contract, don't be surprised if he's also the director of some of their projects or others Disney is working on (though personally I'd rather see him due and the mantel go to someone else).

That's fine. There should only be Avengers movies from now on anyways. All these stand alone movies are just build ups and cash grabs.

Unless they make multiple teams and make it very clear which movie is of which team that isn't going to happen. Marvel's entire mandate is "give us (Disney) two movies for theatrical release each year and stay profitable" and outside of that they can do whatever they want. With a mandate that lax there's no way to reasonably say no on their part, and making each movie an Avengers movie would effectively kill it by over-saturating the market (not even the Avengers can sustain that level of releases, to say nothing of the actor turn over due to contracts) so the non-Avengers movies allow for smaller stories too big for the big screen, of new heroes or new teams to be told.

The inevitable MCU 2 may be able to have a television series of The Avengers work in the 2030s with effects technology advancements, but right now one movie every 3 years is about as much as we can realistically get.

Oh, well, that's different from the news I've heard, though then again that was from a year ago so things could have changed (I'm thinking the Russo brothers being the ones directing Civil War and Infinity Wars may have something to do with it, but that's speculation).

Okay, it says right in that quote this is the end of the trilogy. That doesn't mean no more Cap films. Though I'm not exactly holding out hope.

There is no finality in that, it just means that for the moment this will be the conclusion of said trilogy.
