Meanwhile, three of the original Avengers cast - Robert Downey Jr. Daniel Brühl ( Inglorious Basterds) and Martin Freeman ( Sherlock, The Hobbit) are also joining the cast, in as yet unspecified roles.Īnd as part of Marvel Studios' deal with Sony Pictures, a new, as yet unannounced actor is expected to play Spider-Man in Civil War as well. If that wasn't enough, several actors who are brand new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe are also starring in Civil War, first among them Chadwick Boseman ( 42), as T'Challa aka Black Panther, which was announced to great fanfare at a Marvel Studios press event last October.

(Mark Ruffalo, however, was not included in the announcement, so it is unclear whether he will play Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, in Civil War.) Marvel Studios also announced that William Hurt will reprise his role as General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross from 2008's long-forgotten The Incredible Hulk. In a press release on Thursday noting that production had started on the third Captain America film, Marvel Studios announced that Paul Rudd - the star of Marvel Studios' Ant-Man, opening in July - 'will make his first appearance alongside the Avengers' in Captain America 3.Īt the risk of spoiling the end of Age of Ultron (which means SPOILER ALERT for the following sentence), the studio also confirmed that Paul Bettany ( as The Vision), Don Cheadle (as Jim Rhodes, aka War Machine), Anthony Mackie (as Sam Wilson, aka Falcon), and Elizabeth Olsen ( as Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch) will also appear Captain America: Civil War.Īlong with Mackie, Marvel Studios confirmed that most of the cast of 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier - including Sebastian Stan (as Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier), Emily VanCamp (as Sharon Carter, aka Agent 13), and Frank Grillo (as Brock Rumlow, aka Crossbones) - will appear in Civil War. And for Marvel Studios' next big May blockbuster, Captain America: Civil War, they have stuffed even more characters into the mix.

Of all the criticisms of Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of the most common is that the Marvel Studios' movie felt overstuffed with so many superhero characters and villains that it could hardly contain them.
