I think that's been confirmed since Evans said he wouldn't extend his contract. It'd be hard to see anyone else replace him like Falcon.

I'm interested if Samuel L Jackson will continue with 3 movies left.

This isn't anime. People like Tom Hiddleston as Loki, not the character Loki himself.

So, Marvel now has both Sherlock and The Doctor. David Tennant is going to play Purple Man in the Jessica Jones Netflix series.

Speaking of the Netflix shows...

^I'll admit, I'm nowhere near as exited about Daredevil as I am Luke Cage or Jessica Jones, but Vincent D'onofrio is pretty damn cool as Kingpin in that trailer.

[Galaxian]

I know it's not by Marvel Studios, but it's still a Marvel character...

Ryan Reynolds posted a picture of his Deadpool costume for the upcoming movie.

[Ithekro]

I would say something about the fourth wall, but its Deadpool.

The film returns Chris Evans (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron”) as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America along with Robert Downey Jr. (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Marvel’s “Iron Man 3”) as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Captain America: The First Avenger”) as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Paul Bettany (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3”) as The Vision, Jeremy Renner (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Marvel’s “The Avengers”) as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Don Cheadle (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3”) as Jim Rhodes/War Machine and Elizabeth Olsen (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Godzilla”) as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

After his debut in Marvel’s “Ant-Man” on July 17, 2015, Paul Rudd (“Ant-Man,” ”Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues”) will make his first appearance alongside the Avengers as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in “Captain America: Civil War.”

Synopsis (Age of Ultron spoilers)

“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.

Civil War sounds more and more like Avengers 2.5 than Cap America 3...

[ACertainStark]

Only on paper.

Exactly what I was thinking with the entire new Avengers lineup appearing in this movie..... Nice to see Hawkeye finally getting screentime outside of an Avengers movie, though.

We should get used to long cast lists of superheroes, though. Avengers: Infinity War is gonna be crazy-packed with bringing back Thor, Hulk (supposedly), and the Guardians of the Galaxy, probably on top of a lot of superheroes who appear here (assuming the character list doesn't suffer casualties in the Civil War), plus Coulson (you know he'll be there with his fellow Avengers for the finale ) and maybe some of his team from Agents of SHIELD.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Makes me wonder how packed Infinity war will be.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Oh, hey, William Hurt returns as General Ross. And here I thought Marvel studio wants to forget everything about The Incredible Hulk. We might get lucky and see The Leader someday.

Which kind of makes sense. I can see more and more them turning these solo films into hero combos or avenger-lite films.

The summary sounds basically like what one would expect.

Oh brother. Why a 'nefarious villain'? Captain America movies are the only time I can watch a good Marvel movie without dealing with that cheesy superhero crap. Whatever. As long as I get my Civil War, I guess. Doubt it would be better than Winter Soldier though with that line-up.

[GDB]

Rumor is that it's Baron Zemo. He's no more cheesy than Red Skull, so...

No more cheesy than the symbolic representation of Hitler? Hah... Right.

[solidvanz]

I almost want to create a new thread about Civil War until I see this thread (I believe we need a separate thread to discuss Civil War). Anyhow, I can't wait to see that movie next year.

Yeah, i didn't expect his character return for CA:CW.
Hopefully we might learn about what Betty Ross been doing since she last saw Banner.

I never like Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. I don’t know if it’s the script or her acting, but all I see is her channeling in (or phoning it in) Arwen for whenever she’s in melodramatic scenes. Jennifer Connely is miles better as Betty in terms of movie character, her acting is also superior. It's a shame, Universal & Ang Lee did a good job casting Jennifer as Betty only to be replaced by the inferior Liv. Oh well, now that they’ve re-cast Bruce, might as well re-cast Betty with a more fitting actress.
