When it comes to Captain America: Civil War, Disney and Marvel have turned into the Oprah of casting. You get a part! You get a part! You get a part! Everybody gets a part!
Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced three new characters, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, and Paul Bettany as Vision. In Captain America: Civil War, however, Marvel will be combining many of the Phase One and Phase Two characters as well as introducing Chadwick Boseman, one of Phase Three’s biggest new characters, who will be making his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War as Black Panther.
Here is the full list of confirmed casting for Captain America: Civil War:
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.

Daniel Brühl has already said that he’ll be playing Baron Zemo, while Martin Freeman is rumored to be playing Everett K. Ross. The question is that with such a huge cast, how will anyone get a decent amount of screen time, and how will all these new characters tie into Captain America’s storyline? Maybe it has something to do with that Avengers facility at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, picking up with Steve and Natasha training the new recruits, a.k.a. Avengers: The New Class.
