Battle An unarmed Captain America (MCU) replaces Robb Stark at the Red Wedding - can he fight his way out?

Cap doesn't have his shield or suit, and he doesn't know that the betrayal is coming. The Freys are not aware of his upgraded abilities.

Can Cap fight his way out? Bonus points if he can keep Catelyn and Robb's wife safe. Double bonus points if he can kill Walder Frey and Roose Bolton.

Really depends on how shocked the rest of the wedding is from having a dude just start to destroy every trained warrior in there bare handed without breaking a sweat.

If he wanted to any one person in that room is dead, but it’d be harder to defend someone else from every other person.

Think about that elevator scene with Cap and those guys were prepared and ready. There is not a single person in or outside that castle that has any chance of cap is after them, much less preventing him from getting away

But what about all the bows

Think of how good Cap is at blocking bullets with his shield. Sure, he doesn't have his shield here, but he doesn't need it - any random object can stop an arrow if he uses it the way he uses his shield.

Plus, the archers aren't going to focus fire him at the start (since that's not what they did in the original.)

And while Cat grabbed the wrong person as a hostage, there are important people in that room. In particular, canonically Roose personally killed Robb. If Cap grabs him and uses him as a shield or hostage instead, no archer is going to be willing to fire.
