Captain America: Civil War’s Crossbones May Still Be Alive

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has proven time and again why they are still on top in this game of cinematic universes. However, that’s not to say that they’re absolutely flawless.

One criticism that permeated the franchise from day one has been their lackluster villains. They’ve gotten better over the years, killing less of their villains so that they may come back and fight another day, but they still tend to kill off far more villains than they should.

One such villains is Crossbones. He played a key role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and then came back in Captain America: Civil War. However, while the villain potential was strong for this baddie, he was killed off in the opening action scene of the latter film. Considering what he went through in The Winter Soldier, this seemed a bit like a waste to us, but he may very well be still be alive if we’re to read into actor Frank Grillo’s statement.

Speaking with Forbes regarding his involvement in the Purge franchise, Grillo said:

“…To some degree, I’m also a small part of the Marvel world, but to be a part of something like [The Purge], if anyone tells you that’s not a big deal, they’re lying. It’s great to be part of Marvel too, and I have three boys who are fanatical about Marvel, and I was surprised not too long ago because there is some news that nobody knows yet, to do with my character, that’s going to be really interesting and I’m excited about that.”

As great of a character as Crossbones was, we can’t help but wonder what he means by this. When last we saw, Crossbones had literally blown himself up in a failed attempt to take Cap out with him. Luckily, Scarlet Witch was there to help. She kept Crossbones enclosed enough to send him up into the air, where he exploded into a nearby building.

With this in mind, it seems fair to assume that Crossbones is very dead. But of course, as the old saying goes, the only Uncle Ben stays dead in comics, and that spirit definitely seems to be carrying over to the MCU.

Do you think Crossbones is alive, and if so, how do you think he pulled it off? Let us know your theories down below!
