Captain America: Civil War Teams Possibly Revealed

Next year will bring us the third Captain America movie, with it taking the premise of the 2007 Marvel Comics storyline of Civil War.  In that comic event two teams, lead by Cap and Iron Man, fight over superhero registration. 

With Marvel Studios not having the rights to all the characters or not yet introducing others, this will obviously be a different take on the story.  Rumors are now emerging as far as who will be on Team Cap and who's on Team Iron Man. 

Team Captain America 

So we have Cap, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Ant-Man, Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye. Falcon isn't a surprise here, as well as Ant-Man who was "kind of" recruited by Falcon.  And one of the post-credits scene from Ant-Man shows Cap and Falcon have tracked down Winter Soldier, and it seems they'll have him won over at some point in Civil War. 

Team Iron Man

And siding with Iron Man is Black Widow, Vision, Spider-Man, and War Machine. Also rumored is that Captain America has a spy on Iron Man's team, the smart money is on it being Black Widow or War Machine. Black Panther is said to remain neutral for most of the movie but will eventually get pulled in and pick a side. 

Captain America:Civil War releases May 6, 2016

Captain America: Civil War Begins Production, Full Cast Revealed

Production on Captain America: Civil War  has begun in Atlanta.  The full cast list has been unveiled, and it seems to have more Avengers than Age of Ultron did. 

Here's the official synopsis for Civil War;

The cast includes Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Sebastion Stan (Winter Soldier), Scarlet Johansson (Black Widow), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Paul Bettany (Vision), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Emily VanCamp (Agent 33), Frank Grillo (Crossbones), William Hurt (General Ross), Daniel Bruhl (Baron Zemo), and Martin Freeman (who's role is still unknown).  A handful of these are worth noting ...

This movie will mark the introduction for Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. It will also be the first time Paul Rudd will be seen along side the rest of the Avengers after Ant-Man releases later this year. William Hurt will return as General "Thunderbolt" Ross, his only other appearance was 2008's The Incredible Hulk. And lastly, Civil War will introduce Daniel Bruhl as Baron Zemo. 

With a cast this massive, Its surprising this isn't considered an Avengers movie. Rumor still suggests Spider-Man will make an appearance once he's cast, but no news on that for the time being.  And with Hawkeye and Ant-Man finally in the same movie, maybe we'll get this classic scene ....

Martin Freeman Cast In Captain America 3!

As of today Martin Freeman, star of The Hobbit, is cast in Captain America: Civil War.  No word on who he'll be playing yet. So speculate away!

The Captain America sequel is about to begin production and will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. The Russo brothers helmed Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will also be directing Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2. 

Will Freeman have a Sherlock reunion with Benedict Cumberbatch, who's playing Doctor Strange in his own movie? Or a Hobbit reunion with Andy Serkis, who you saw as Ulysses Klaw in Avengers: Age of Ultron? Neither are confirmed for Civil War, but time will tell.

Miles Morales May Be Our Cinematic Spider-Man

Miles Morales May Be Our Cinematic Spider-Man

If the rumors are true, there’s a 95% chance that we won’t be seeing Peter Parker filling the shoes of ‘ol web-head come Captain America : Civil War in 2016. At least, not as the headliner. The Wrap’s Jeff Sneider recently commented on his Meet the Movie Press podcast that :

"This is not set in stone guys, but I’m telling you right now: Spider-Man is not going to be white."

The main speculation for this reasoning? SONY has the opportunity to beat Marvel to the punch utilizing an ethnic character in a standalone film, prior to the release of Black Panther.  

From the standpoint of a die-hard comic book fan, Miles Morales is the real deal. Debuting as the Ultimate Spider-Man in 2011 following the death of Peter Parker (in the Ultimate Universe continuum), the character proved to be a HUGE success thanks to the writing talents of Brian Michael Bendis, and currently stands as the last remaining title under the Ultimate banner pre-Secret Wars.

The current cinematic Avengers look and feel is heavily influenced by the Ultimate Universe (i.e. Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver) and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Marvel decided to go the Miles Morales route and re-brand the character. Speculation could also conclude (and isn't out of the question)  that Peter Parker may fall during the events of Captain America : Civil War, leaving Miles to assume the role. Again, this is all rumor and speculation, but the wheels are definitely in motion for the fate of Spider-Man.
