Captain America: Civil War is going to feature a lot of superheroes. A lot. It can be hard to keep track of who’s allied with who in the ideological battle between Captain America and Iron Man, especially since a lot of the pairings may not make a huge amount of sense at first glance. I mean, weren’t Cap and the Winter Soldier fighting the last time we saw them?
Well don’t worry, because Marvel is here to clear things up with a series of posters showing exactly who’s on Cap’s side for the upcoming superpowered brouhaha. Fandango also got a bit of insight into where all these heroes are at the beginning of Civil War, and why they end up joining Team Cap.
Captain America will still be searching for Bucky/Winter Soldier at the beginning of the movie, and trying to grow into his leadership role.
The Winter Soldier will still be dealing with some of those brainwashing blues in Civil War, but he joins up with Cap. Why? Because once a sidekick, always a sidekick.
Scarlet Witch will be dealing with the death of her brother Quicksilver and working to harness her powers. Otherwise, it sounds like she’ll have a relatively minor role in Civil War.
Hawkeye will continue to try to balance superheroism with that wholesome farm life, and will add a staff to his arsenal of weapons that wouldn’t be that useful in a superpowered battle.
Falcon is now a full-fledged Avenger and will get some spiffy suit upgrades. Other than that, there won’t be a lot of drama since he’s obviously best buds with Cap.
And finally, we have Ant-Man, who may be undergoing the biggest changes for the movie. Expect Ant-Man’s comedic edge to be turned way down for the grim ‘n’ gritty Civil War.
Fandango’s piece answers a lot of other interesting questions, including if any of the heroes involved in Captain America: Civil War might try to kill each other, and whether this is really just an Avengers movie in disguise. I suggest you check out the full piece via the link at the bottom of this post.
So, what do you think of Team Cap? Does the lineup make sense? Think they have what it takes to win the war? March on down to comments section and discuss, soldiers.
