The year 2016 will be huge for comic book movie adaptations. Fans look forward to the fight between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel in "Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice" by Warner Bros. and DC. Marvel's Cinematic Universe also has its own "Captain America: Civil War", which was based on the comic book with the same title. When talking about the MCU's upcoming movie, fans are torn on which one to go for: Team Cap or Team Iron Man.
According to Screen Rant, three new promotional pieces of art have provided the line-up for each team. The said promotional art pieces also featured new costumes for the super heroes.
Starting off with Team Captain America, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is joined by Agent Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye, who is portrayed by Jeremy Renner, in a new costume that differs from his old comic book-inspired attire from both Avengers movies. Paul Rudd's Scott Lang, a.k.a. Ant-man is on Hawkeye's shoulder, which means that fans could expect the miniature hero to ride one of the master marksman's arrows (hopefully). Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Falcon, will also be part of Cap's crew, along with a bird-like drone, who fans speculate to be Red Wing from the comic books. Bucky Barnes a.k.a. Winter Soldier played by Sebastian Stan joins his best friend on the fight, looking a whole lot cleaner and without the mask. Last on the list is Agent 13 Sharon Carter, who happens to be the granddaughter of Cap's love interest from World War II.
The next team is that of Tony Stark played by Robert Downy Jr. Long-time best friend and U.S. military Colonel James "Rhody" Rhodes (Don Cheadle) will take the side of Iron Man, having had his War Machine suit upgraded with an energy-based shoulder-mounted cannon. Being Tony's butler and personal assistant, Jarvis or Vision played by Paul Bethany will stand by his side. The Russian bombshell Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) a.k.a. Black Widow is also with Tony, making both teams even with one hottie on each side. The latest and last addition to Iron Man's gang is Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa a.k.a. Black Panther.
With the line-ups filled, there are calls for concern as to where Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Tom Holland's Spider Man fit in. Still according to Screen Rant, Spidey will be on Tony's side, while Olsen's character will be with Cap.
On other news, there have been rumors that Mark Ruffallo's Hulk will be part of the movie. According to a report by BILD from Germany, which was translated by Comic Book Movie, it would seem that Mark Ruffalo was seen shooting the third Captain America movie alongside Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie. The stars were also seen enjoying the nightlife of Berlin, but still with no pictures.
"Captain America: Civil War" will kick off on May 6, 2016.
