Comic Speculations:
So you've got elements of the Civil War comic book in there for sure, but it sounds like they're downplaying the "Superhero Registration Act" aspects in favor of something a little less specific. It's still kicked off by a tragedy involving collateral damage caused by heroes — probably the new recruits as seen in Age of Ultron as mentioned above.Spoiler/ News:
Captain America: Civil War has been referred to internally as Avengers 2.5 , and looking at the roster of heroes scheduled to be part of it, it's easy to see why.Chris Evans is back of course in the title role, and Robert Downey Jr. joins him as Iron Man. All of the supporting players from Winter Soldier return, including Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes. The rest of the roster is filled out with every single superhero from Age of Ultron minus Hulk and Thor. Aside from Iron Man and Black Widow, expect to see Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany as Vision.
Rumours:
Although it's not entirely surprising: Paul Rudd's Ant-Man will join the new Avengers in Captain America: Civil War. Chadwick Boseman will make his Marvel debut as Black Panther in the film. And Emily VanCamp will return as Agent Sharon Carter.One hero we might or might not see is perhaps our friendly neighborhood: Spider-Man. The new Marvel/Sony deal to share the wall-crawler between franchises may yet result in the character appearing in Civil War, Or it's entirely possible that the character hasn't been cast yet and Marvel's saving him for Avengers 3.
Note:
While Hawkeye, Ant-Man and Falcon have already been confirmed for Team Captain America, who are the other two members? Who is on Team Iron Man?According to sourcing, the following is how the the teams are broken down. Made a little collage of each team. Here are your team rosters.
First up:
Team Captain America
1) Captain America
2) Hawkeye
3) Falcon
4) Scarlet Witch
5) Ant-Man
6) The Winter Soldier
2) Hawkeye
3) Falcon
4) Scarlet Witch
5) Ant-Man
6) The Winter Soldier
Team Iron-Man
He spots Cap moving in and throws a magnetic bomb onto Cap’s vibranium shield. Cap thinks fast, throwing the shield into the sky just as it detonates.
He is now unarmed, and Crossbones pummels him. The rest of Crossbones’ crew springs to action. Falcon blocks machine gun fire with his wings. Black Widow flips through the air, sending bad guys flying. Crossbones grips Cap and slams him into a concrete wall. He leers at the hero from behind a metallic, skull-shaped masked. “You dropped a building on my face,” he snarls, a reference to the conclusion of The Winter Soldier. Cap rips his gauntlet off and pushes free, then tears off the metal mask. Crossbones kneels, defeated, and mutters: “You know, he remembered you. Your pal, your buddy, your Bucky.” Turns out, Captain America does have a weak spot.
From there we get the Marvel Studios logo and cut to William Hurt as Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross—the former general, known as the nemesis of The Incredible Hulk. “The world owes you an unpayable debt,” Ross says as images of past heroism play onscreen. “While a great many people see you as a hero, there are some who prefer the word vigilante. People are afraid.” Cap is indignant. “This job, we try to save as many as we can. Sometimes that doesn’t mean everybody,” he says. Then we see a shot familiar to anyone who waited for the end credits scene after Ant-Man. The Winter Soldier himself, Cap’s old friend Bucky Barnes, is trapped in a warehouse with his metallic arm locked in a vice.
“Buck, You know me?” The assassin whose mind was wiped in the previous Captain America movie looks up. “My mom’s name was Sarah,” he says. “You used to wear newspapers in your shoes.” Then we get a reunion between Cap and another powerful being: Stark’s Iron Man. “Sometimes I want to punch you in your perfect teeth,” he says.
Something has happened. Something that can’t be undone. The world wants heroes to stay heroes, but they need to be regulated. Controlled. We see a flash of heroes. Scarlet Witch, The Vision (wearing street clothes! A dapper suit), Hawkeye striking a pose with his bow and arrow, T’Challa—in regular clothes, and also in his Black Panther armor, complete with gloves that extend razor-sharp blades from the fingernails.
As we see various teams of powerful beings running at each other, the footage cuts to another van—this one with Ant-Man inside. He meets Cap and totally geeks out. “Captain America…” he says, awestruck, shaking his idol’s hand. And shaking it some more. And then some more. “I’m shaking your hand too long,” he says. Pinwheeling around, he looks at Scarlet Witch. “I know you, too!” Ant-Man says. “You’re great!” He tries to play it cool. “I want to say I know you know a lot of super people, so thinks for thanking of me,” he says. Then pauses. Blinks. “Thanks for thinking of me,” he corrects himself.
*Oh, and that Easter egg promised? It wasn’t a glimpse of Spider-Man (unfortunately). It was the glass-block holding cell used to contain the Winter Soldier in the one-shot. The container number was 23, in cell block D. … Get it? But incase the web crawler makes an appearance he's going to be on Iron Man's Team as speculated.
1) Iron Man
2) The Vision
3) Spider-Man (hoping to see him)
4) Black Widow
5) War Machine
2) The Vision
3) Spider-Man (hoping to see him)
4) Black Widow
5) War Machine
So there you have it. Black Panther has already been confirmed as being neutral. He is on a mission.
*Awarding Readers and Marvel Cenematic Universe fans For your patients, let's see how the story unfolds.
CIVIL WAR - SHORT STORY LINE
Here’s what we see: The new Avengers are in buildings overlooking a crowded market in what appears to be a third-world country. “Eyes on target, folks,” Captain America says. Falcon says, “Red Wing, launch,” and a small drone hovers free and dives down to the street, swooping beneath a truck, which is loaded with explosives. Black Widow "in a café." “It’s a battering ram,” she says. The team closes in, and the truck opens up—revealing Crossbones, a.k.a. Brock Rumlow (played by Frank Grillo, from The Winter Soldier).He spots Cap moving in and throws a magnetic bomb onto Cap’s vibranium shield. Cap thinks fast, throwing the shield into the sky just as it detonates.
He is now unarmed, and Crossbones pummels him. The rest of Crossbones’ crew springs to action. Falcon blocks machine gun fire with his wings. Black Widow flips through the air, sending bad guys flying. Crossbones grips Cap and slams him into a concrete wall. He leers at the hero from behind a metallic, skull-shaped masked. “You dropped a building on my face,” he snarls, a reference to the conclusion of The Winter Soldier.
