Marvel Studios continue in their quest to dominate the superhero film category as they forge on towards the launch of “Captain America – Civil War”. The film which would be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is the sequel to 2014’s ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’.
“Captain America – Civil War” tells the story of events that follows “Avengers: Age of Ultron” after Captain America and the Avengers activities results in collateral damage, prompting politicians to form a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to call in the Avengers.
The new policy causes disagreement between members of the Avengers in their quest to continue to protect the world from a new enemy and eventually leads to an open fight between allies, Iron Man and Captain America.
Fans of ‘Thor’ and ‘The Incredible Hulk’ would be disappointed as both characters would be playing no part in the upcoming film. As expected, Chris Evans will play the role of ‘Steve Rogers’ a.k.a ‘Captain America’.
Robert Downey Jr. takes the opposing side as ‘Tony Stark’ (Iron Man). Robert Downing’s success as ‘Iron Man’ accords him little, or no introduction. Scarlett Johansson’s great performances as ‘Natasha Romanoff’ would see her return as the ‘Black Widow’ for the fifth time, having performed the same role in the “Iron Man”, “Captain America” and “Avengers” franchise.
Sebastian Stan stretches on with the role of ‘Bucky Barnes’, the ‘Winter Soldier’ – a brainwashed assassin, who thought he was killed in action during World War II and drafted to work with the Hydra. Despite pointers which indicates he could have regained his consciousness after saving ‘Captain America’ at the end of “Captain America – The Winter Soldier”, it’s yet to be confirmed which side he would take in the new film.
Sebastian Stan’s popularity seems to be on the rise after holding down a cameo role at the post-credits scene in the recently released ‘Ant-Man’.
Saturn Award Nominee for Best Supporting Actor, Anthony Mackie, will play ‘Sam Wilson’, the’ Falcon’ once again after he played a complementing role alongside Chris Evans in the prequel.
Jeremy Renner’s profile on the Hollywood movie scene ensures he holds down the role of ‘Clint Barton’ a.k.a ‘Hawkeye’. Coming off the newly released “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”, where he played the role of ‘William Brandt’, his role as a master archer would certainly not be overshadowed despite having no super hero abilities.
On the role, Renner said, “I’m happy to be the ensemble. I’m not scratching or clawing to do a solo movie by any means. I think Hawkeye is a utility guy that can bounce around into other people’s universes a little bit, especially like Cap 3.”
Multiple Award winning actor, Don Cheadle plays “James Rhodey” Rhodes the ‘War Machine’- Tony Stark’s close personal friend who operates the War Machine armor. British Academy Film Awards nominee, Elizabeth Olsen returns with her touch of magic as ‘Wanda Maximoff’, the ‘Scarlet Witch’ who engages in hypnosis and telekinesis.
Paul Rudd, would be shrinking into pin size once again as ‘Ant Man’ putting himself to use in among the warring factions. He still plays the same character as the lead of the newly released ‘Ant Man’ movie.
Chadwick Boseman who played ‘James Brown’ in 2014’s “Get on Up” will play ‘T’Challa’, the ‘Black Panther’. Being a ruler of the fictional African nation known as ‘Wakanda’ which boasts of a highly sought after mineral resource known as ‘Vibranium,’ it’s yet to be confirmed if he is truly the richest Superhero alive.
On the choice of character in the film, producer Kevin Feige said, “The reason we introduced him in “Civil War” is because we needed a third party. We needed fresh eyes who weren’t embedded with the Avengers and who has a very different point of view than either Tony or Steve.”
Emily VanCamp, who played ‘Charlotte’ in “Law and Order” would be ‘Sharon Carter’ a.k.a ‘Agent 13’ once again while Daniel Brühl, who played ‘Fredrick Zoller’ in “Inglorious Bastards” would play the part of Baron Helmut Zemo.
Frank Grillo plays ‘Brock Rumlow’ a.k.a ‘Crossbones’, a former commander of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s counter-terrorism S.T.R.I.K.E. team, who was revealed to be an agent of Hydra.
The film would be scored by the award winning composer; Henry Jackman and is scheduled to be released on May 6, 2016.
