The heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe collide when Captain America: Civil War hits our screens in just over two months, and Empire have unveiled some new images from the highly anticipated kick off to Marvel Studios’ Phase Three, including our first real look at Frank Grillo’s Brock Rumlow in his new guise as Crossbones., the last remaining Hydra agent from The Winter Soldier’s explosive finale.
Crossbones reveal isn’t the only scoop the magazine got their hands on, as they have the first look at Martin Freeman from the sequel, and confirmation that he will be playing government agent Everett Ross, a member of the Joint Counter Terrorism Centre. In the comics, Ross has ties to Black Panther, so don’t be surprised if Freeman joins Chadwick Boseman’s super powered king of Wakanda when the character gets his own solo movie in 2018.
Released: April 29th (IRL/U.K.)/May 6th (U.S.)
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.
