It's been no secret that Marvel has fans ultra-hyped about Captain America Civil War which is set to release May 6, 2016. The storyline has to do with registering superheroes . . .
. . . Hmmm, sound familiar? That's because if you saw X-Men, that was what Xavier and his crew were fighting Magneto about (except for them it was mutant registration). But this would affect the X-Men as well.
With Iron Man on the side of hero registration and Captain America staunchly opposed, this could get preachy political if Marvel isn't careful.
But fans are largely optimistic and expectations are high. People expect Captain America to be better since it has historically done better than most of the standalone Marvel movies. We will be introduced to the Black Panther, have the added Scarlet Witch and Vision as characters, and there are even talks of Spider Man making an appearance.
Not enough new faces? That's okay. Marvel Announced yesterday that Martin Freeman (Sherlock & The Hobbit) is joining the cast of Civil War. They have intentionally refused to name which character he will play (taking a page from Star Wars?) and leave us all with the question: hero or villain? Maybe it will depend on which side you choose . . .
