IGN sat down with Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Marvel head Kevin Feige at a junket for Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but the conversation veered toward Captain America: Civil War. Both Downey and Evans spoke about the rift between Tony and Steve (which Feige pointed out they were already laying the groundwork on with this clip from Avengers: Age Of Ultron).
Chris Evans talked about changes in Captain America’s outlook on life:
“This is why I think the next movie is going to be so effective — Civil War — because there’s a flip-flop in the way we approach things. Tony’s always been a trailblazer. He’s always been his own man and he bucks authority. He dances to the beat of his own drum. Cap comes from a world or order, and organization, and hierarchy, and structure. And I think after Cap 2 when SHIELD kind of fell that Cap kind of realized that you can’t necessarily trust the people around you — or you can’t trust the system. I think he now is kind of starting to follow his own heart, and do his own thing, and as a result there becomes this kind of flip-flop in perspective.”
Meanwhile, Kevin Feige had us wondering if the rumor about a major character making a major sacrifice to defeat Ultron is true:
There’s a great moment at the end of [Avengers: Age of Ultron] that we won’t spoil, but it involves the notion of them realizing that the only way through all this is together.”
Robert Downey Jr. pointed out that at least a tiny part of the rift comes down to good old-fashioned jealousy on Tony Stark’s part:
“Stark grew up under the shadow of this very close father son/relationship that Howard [Stark] had with Steve so I’m sure that it’s driven by some unconscious motives. At the same time, they’re two vastly different generations of moral psychology. And arguably, Cap’s is more righteous. But I think Tony is a realist. So that’s always a fun dynamic to play.”
Yes, the meme is confirmed:
