Synopsis and Full Cast Revealed for 'Captain America: Civil War'
Disney and Marvel have released the first synopsis and full cast list for the third Captain America movie, Civil War.
The official list of returning cast members are obviously Chris Evans as Cpatain America, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man — who we know are both key players in the story. Others include, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany as The Vision. Joining them will be Frank Grillo as Crossbones, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Daniel Bruhl as Baron Helmut Zero, and Martin Freeman in an unknown role.
Along with those cast members came two surprises. Disney revealed that Ant-Man star Paul Rudd will join the rest of the superheroes with some sort of role in Civil War. This will be the first time we see Rudd/Ant-Man interact with the other members of the cinematic universe. The other surprising cast member is William Hurt. Hurt was in the 'The Incredible Hulk' which is easily the most forgettable Marvel movie in the cinematic universe. Hurt played General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the film, and was a force to be reckoned with for Bruce Banner/Hulk, attempting to bring him down. So, it's an intriguing piece of casting.
Below is the first official synopsis for Captain America: Civil War;
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.
Captain America: Civil War will be directed by the Russo Brothers and is scheduled for release on 6th May 2016.
