Entertainment Weekly released more details about Captain America: Civil War to be found in their issue on newsstands this Friday. They’ve already released the cover and more about Black Panther. Now they have a long, entertaining interview with Robert Downey, Jr. which also includes a description of a scene from the film.
The scene involves Cap and Falcon having to turn in their shield and wings before being escorted into a high security area by T’Challa (Black Panther), Black Widow, and a government attaché played by Martin Freeman (possibly Everett K. Ross). Cap and Falcon are in trouble over something. Entertainment Weekly describes what happens next:
“You guys want to take a seat?” Widow says. “And try not to break anything while we fix this.”
Stark […] is on his cell phone with U.S. Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) as Cap and Falcon step into the nerve center of the intelligence office. “No, Romania was not sanctioned by the accords … Col. Rhodes is supervising clean-up … Yes, there will be consequences …” Stark looks irritated, tired. “Obviously, you can quote me on that. I just said it.”
[…] “Consequences?” Cap says.
“Secretary Ross wanted you both prosecuted,” Iron Man answers. “I had to give him something.”
“I’m not getting that shield back, am I?” Cap says.
Black Widow walks ahead, joining Stark. “Technically it belongs to the government. Wings, too,” she says.
“That’s cold,” Falcon says.
Stark spins on his heel as the two walk away with T’Challa. He flashes a tight, unpleasant smile. “Warmer than jail!” he says.
Regarding that last bit of snark, Robert Downey, Jr. laughed and told the interviewer he loves what a dick Stark is being to them, likening the group to a band who have been on the road too long. There is also, of course, the issue of jealousy; Cap likes Falcon and Bucky more. Downey said Stark’s never found himself in a status position over Cap before, so “it’s just been simmering for years and it’s very unrequited.”
Jealousy? “Simmering for years”? “Unrequited”? Sheesh. Just kiss already.
