I think this thread needed to be started now we are getting closer to the release of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.
I hope you share and discuss any info we get about Captain America's involvement in the film.
For me, I have two signs which point to a possible missuse/mistreatment of the character as already happened in Avengers 1.
First, this is supposed to be the official Black Widow motorbike in AoU. Notice something weird?
Why would Steve lend his most treasured weapon to Black Widow to hang into her ride? I would understand it if they were to develop a Steve/Natasha relationship further, but it has been shown that BW will hit on Bruce Banner (WTF?) on the film. Friendzoned much?
Then, the big one. Look at what's happening to the shield.
Seriously? It got Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet to destroy it, and now Ultron is going to be able to do it?
The teaser revealed in San Diego Comic Con supposedly showed a scene with all the Avengers defeated, including Steve with his broken shield. But the latter is far more symbolic and dramatic. It's an humilliation for Cap. It's a long-lasting loss, unlike the handful of bruises the other characters are going get out of the deal.
I hope I'm just doom-mongering from some bits taken out of context and Cap will have a respectable role on this film (unlike Avengers 1 where he was used as a clown). But I fear Joss Whedon is going to ruin him once again, which is more agravating after the brilliant take on the character by the Russo brothers in CA:TWS.
