But judging by the new trailer I dont think he will live. This movie is gonna f*** us all up. I think, even if he doesn't die, this will already be better than Pietro's death. For two reasons.

1. We've grown to know and love the character. If you count the actual character's appearance when he's not in the suit, then technically he and Tony were the first two superheroes we saw in this series.

2. With how close he and Tony are, the film will make it feel like a genuine loss. Rhodey's fate(whether he dies or not) will actually be important to the story and characters. It won't just cut to the next scene and never mention it again. I'll give Joss Whedon credit for trying to give QS's death meaning in the scene with Wanda and Ultron, but that scene would've worked better if ripping out the "heart" actually killed Ultron.
