Rumors

 * HALF-BUNKED: We will learn that Roxxon Oil was behind the deaths of Howard and Maria Stark; as in the comics. In the comics, Roxxon later fell under the ownership of Aleksander Lukin, the master of The Winter Soldier; leading some to speculate if there will be post credits setup for Captain America: the Winter Soldier.
 * CONFIRMED: Anton Vanko's legacy will be expanded. It will be revealed he learned of the Cosmic Cube through his partnership with Howard Stark; and sold him out to his Russian Comrades. Thus, it will be revealed the Winter Soldier was responsible for Howard Stark's death.
