Iron Man vs Captain America Rumors: 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Leaked Clip Hints At Problems Between Superheroes

A leaked clip from next year's expected blockbuster "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was posted online on Tuesday, Oct. 28, showing a scene between Captain America and Iron Man apparently at odds with each other.

In the clip, Steve Rogers (aka Captain America, played by Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (aka Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr.) are seen talking about their confrontation with Scarlet Witch (played by Elizabeth Olsen) who "made quick work of them."

"She pulled us apart like cotton candy," Steve tells Tony, adding that he didn't know what she had done to him to make him "do something stupid."

Tony also did something "stupid" enough to cause Steve to split a log in two in anger.

It was also revealed that Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) had left the team to seek "answers."

The clip posted on YouTube by user kjhcj is making news online as fans notice the widening rift between Steve and Tony. The two had had their first disagreement during the first "Avengers" film where they almost came to blows moments before the attack on the Helicarrier.

Meanwhile, Marvel has hinted that the Avengers may split up in "Captain America: Civil War," a film set for release on May 6, 2016. The movie will show Steve and Tony facing each other in a showdown. The conflict stems from their clashing views on the Superhero Registration Act, a law where superheroes are required to register with the government and reveal their identities.

Tom Brevoort, executive editor and senior vice president of Marvel, revealed details on the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" film, the discord between Iron Man and Captain America, and the two–part "Avengers: Infinity War" during an exclusive interview with ABC News.

Brevoort talked about a conflict between a team of teenaged superheroes and supervillains, where one of the characters, Nitro, explodes. The incident results in the destruction of a school, killing 700 people, most of whom were children. This incident prompted a movement asking for superheroes to register with the government or with SHIELD to receive training.

Brevoort also explained why it led to a disagreement between Captain America and Iron Man, saying that Captain America saw the Superhero Registration Act as "an infringement on the civil liberties" that will inevitably turn super-powered individuals into soldiers. Iron Man, on the other hand, agreed with training them to use their skills responsibly.

"This became an ideological divide between Cap and Iron Man," Breevort said.

Brevoort also revealed that the two-part "Infinity War" film was originally meant as a trilogy featuring a "big, sprawling, epic Thanos story," before it was cut down to two. Thanos previously appeared in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" as a powerful villain bent on finding the Infinity Gems to gain unlimited power.
