Michael* Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Captain America: Civil War Release Date: May 6 2016 Director: Joe & Anthony Russo Synopsis Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain. Cast Chris Evans - Steve Rogers/Captain America Robert Downey Jr. - Tony Stark/Iron Man Scarlett Johansson - Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Sebastian Stan - Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Anthony Mackie - Sam Wilson/Falcon Paul Bettany - The Vision Jeremy Renner - Clint Barton/Hawkeye Don Cheadle - James Rhodes/War Machine Elizabeth Olsen - Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Paul Rudd - Scott Lang/Ant-Man Chadwick Boseman - T’Challa/Black Panther Emily VanCamp - Sharon Carter/Agent 13 Frank Grillo - Brock Rumlow/Crossbones William Hurt - General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross Daniel Brühl - Baron Zemo Martin Freeman - Everett Ross Quote
Michael* Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 Another one to really look forward to. The cast list is as impressive as it is exciting, although there are obviously still a few names missing from it. No mention of Peter Parker as yet, but the character will almost certainly be relaunched here, even if Marvel hasn’t actually come out and said it yet.Most interestingly of all, the return of General Ross, which presumably means Banner will be showing up.

Kevork89 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I was waiting for all of this to come together and get announced. But it wasn't for all the superheroes. I was waiting for Sharon Carter to be announced. I'm so happy Emily is returning to the film. Now let's just hope they give her a good arc with Cap. She's quite integral to the story during the Civil War storyline.It's just Avengers 2.5 really. The only two missing are Hulk and Thor. I don't think we will see Hulk as he has disappeared and Thor obviously will be in Asgard doing his thing. I just hope it isn't congested and that still the story follows Cap. It is his story. I love Iron Man but much like Wolverine he takes too much spotlight. Quote
Michael* Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Presumably, the civil war erupts when the rest of the team find out about the size of Iron Man's pay packet. 'Winter Soldier' was my favourite MCU effort to date and I think this will be interestingly done too, although they'll have to straighten out a few plot points for it to really work. The 'Avengers Initiative' thing was the outcome of the 'Civil War' comic book and as we know, they already went there and covered that in the first Avengers movie. I suppose the other worry is that the story could feel a bit underpopulated, what with Marvel not being allowed to make full use of the book's roster of characters. All signs still seem to point to Spider-Man being involved, but the X-Men and the Fantastic Four will be off limits, for obvious reasons. Quote
Kevork89 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 TWS and GotG have been my fav Marvel movies to far so yeah I have very high expectations for this. After this I'm very much looking forward to Captain Marvel. Quote
Michael* Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Here's Frank Grillo on set in full Crossbones garb. Quote
Michael* Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 If I were Feige, I'd totally kill off Peter Parker. For no other reason than to troll Sony. Seriously though, it's 99.9% certain to be exactly who we're expecting, and I think the other aforementioned reveal will happen at the funeral. It'd be the perfect way to bring everything full circle. As for the rest, I can't really see anyone but Steve, Tony, Natasha, Falcon, Bucky and (at a push) Black Panther getting much in the way of significant screentime. I imagine Spidey will be in the movie for about the same amount of time as Vision was in 'AoU'. Quote
KelAnne_ Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Black Widow's hair changes more than Captain America's uniform. Glad they have gone for this style though, way better than what she had in Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron. Quote
Michael* Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 So, we have our new Spider-Man at last. Tom Holland has been confirmed to play Peter Parker in the franchise reboot, and as part of the deal between Marvel and Sony, he's expected to debut in 'Civil War' before starring in his own movie, which will be out in July 2017.

Michael* Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Squire Renner has shared some promo images via his Twitter account, and revealed another new costume for Hawkeye. If Ant-Man doesn't take a ride on one of his arrows like in the comics and animated series, we riot! :lullaby: Quote
Michael* Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Also, we can cross at least one big name off the cast list in Mark Ruffalo, who's not now going to be in the movie. Apparently, plans for the Hulk have changed and it’s going to form part of some other future story. I can only assume that Banner was on his way to New York again, but the small motorcycle he was riding ran out of petrol and by the time he pushed it to the nearest garage and got it refilled, the team didn't need him any more. Quote
KelAnne_ Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 It looks really good. Have to say it broke my heart when Captain says Bucky is his friend and Tony says, "So was I." Really interested to see what happens once this movie ends, like how everyone will respond to each other given what has happened. Looking forward to this. Quote
Michael* Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 That was pretty much everything I could have hoped for and more. This, really, is the strength of the whole MCU concept. The Iron Man and Captain America movies have fairly adult themes, while things like Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy are more lighthearted. Then there's the Avengers where it's a big, smashy blockbuster, and as an aside, you also have the Netflix stuff which is far grittier. They don't need to go one way or the other, because they cover all bases in different properties. Quote
Michael* Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Confirmed that Martin Freeman will become a recurring MCU character after Civil War. They probably just want him to have a scene with Doctor Strange. From what I've been reading about the movie and what's to come in Phase 3, I'm excited about what they're doing with it. The original Civil War comic book had its critics, but this seems to be taking the best plot points from the source material, straightening them out and even improving upon them. I like that the root cause of the conflict this time around will be the Winter Soldier himself. Quote
Limerlight Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 @Michael* Have you read the actual comic books for this one? If I was to get on Marvel big series I was always told to get this. MY DC ass will leave now Quote
Michael* Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 @Limerlight Yeah, I think if you were going to try some Marvel stuff, you could do a lot worse than to use 'Civil War' as your starting point. Superheroes fighting each other isn’t a new or interesting thing in itself, but the subject matter is realistic and the political thriller vibe gives the story some real weight. The only drawback is that it doesn't really work as a standalone piece unless you're familiar with the whole cast of characters. Quote
