Daniel Bruhl Joins Captain America: Civil War (& Possibly Doctor Strange) In A Villainous Role

By Leave a Comment

Daniel-BruhlIt’s always busy in the world of Marvel, and with Avengers 2 and Ant Man wrapped and now in post-production, they’re already hard at work on putting the pieces together for Captain America: Civil War. Now another has slotted into place with the company revealing they’ve added Daniel Bruhl (Rush, Inglourious Basterds).

There’s no news on exactly who he’ll play, although most sources suggest he’s take on a villainous role in the movie – even with that, there’s disagreement over whether he’ll be the main villain or not.

Some have also linked to announcement to the related rumour that the Doctor Strange villain will be introduced in Civil War, and that this is the role Bruhl has signed on to play. At the moment this seems like the most likely scenario.

Anthony and Joe Russo return to direct, with a May 6th, 2016 release set.

Robert Downey Jr. Coming Back For Captain America 3 & He’s Set To Start A Civil War

By Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-downey-jrWhile Robert Downey Jr. was always going to return for a third Avengers film after next year’s Age Of Ultron, but until recently all suggestions had been that other than that he was hanging up the exo-suit.

However recently he suggested that against all odds he may well make an Iron Man 4 too, and now Variety reports he’s set to be a huge part of Captain America 3.

It would seem that what’s convinced Downey to remain a major part of the Marvel world (other than the gargantuan pay deal he’s negotiating, said to be $40 million plus profit participation) is that it will allow him to be central to a massive development in the comic book universe – the eruption of Civil War, which it seems will start in Captain America 3.

That means it won’t just be Batman Vs. Superman pitted against each other in 2016, as the Civil War storyline in the Marvel Comics centres around the Superhero Registration Act, which demands that those with super-human register themselves with and serve the US government. Steve Rogers is unimpressed by this and rebels against it, while Tony Stark thinks it’s a good idea. As a result the various heroes split into factions that ending up doing battle with one another.

It means that in Captain America 3, Stark is likely to be close to being the villain, although we’re sure they won’t make him too bad.

There are also rumours that Anthony Russo and Joe Russo won’t just direct Cap 3, but will also take over from Joss Whedon for Avengers 3 & 4, but at the moment that is far from being confirmed. Captain America 3 is due out May 6th, 2016.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Cinema)

By Leave a Comment

It’s a sign of the times that our superheroes these days are not quite all macho and invincibility, rather plagued with doubts and worries – Batman as Hamlet for example. Captain America seems to be no exception – this actioner has as many scenes with him frowning and worrying over America’s place in the world as zooming around fighting baddies. It’s still not exactly complex – at one point his pal asks, “Which ones are the bad guys” – and he answers, “If they’re shooting at you they’re the bad guys.” [Read more…]

Captain America & Batman Vs. Superman Release Date Showdown Set

By Leave a Comment

captain-america-2-final-poster-slideA couple of days ago, Marvel head Kevin Fiege was talking about the fact that DC had moved its planned Batman Vs. Superman onto a release date that was already occupied by a then unknown Marvel movie. Fiege said they weren’t backing off the date, although wouldn’t be drawn on what the film they were making actually was.

Now we know, as THR reports that it’s Captain America 3 that’s set to be released on the same day as Batman Vs. Superman on May 6th, 2016.

So the current question is whether you would prefer to swoon at Henry Cavill or Chris Evans.

It’s turning into a massive game of chicken, as neither studio wants to end up losing audience to the other, but equally both wants to show its film is the most important and should get the prime Memorial Day release. There’s a chance both films will indeed come out on that day, although with more than two years to go, there’s a greater chance that either Marvel or DC will find an excuse to move to another date.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are confirmed to return for Captain America 3, although it’s not known exactly when it will shoot. It’s likely to be early next year.

New Captain America: The Winter Soldier Clip Lands – Chris Evans is running and jumping all over the place

By Leave a Comment

)
It’s just a couple of weeks until we’ll be able to tell whether the buzz suggesting Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the best Marvel yet is actually true, as it’s out March 26th, 2014 in the UK and a week later in the US.

Now a clip has arrived showing Steve Rogers and his shield in action as he races through buldings (and we literally mean through them) in pursuit of the titular Winter Soldier.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.

‘Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1941, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is produced by Kevin Feige, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Emily VanCamp and Hayley Atwell, with Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.’ [Read more…]

Chris Evans Gets A New Captain America: The Winter Soldier Poster

captain-america-2-poster6
A few days ago we had a character poster for Anthony Mackie’s Falcon, and now Chris Evans, aka Steve Rogers, aka Captain America gets a new one for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. And he’s looking pretty heroic (even if the Photoshop fairies have perhaps been a little over-zealous).

There’s also a little info on the character that Marvel released: ‘After a top secret Super-Soldier program transformed Steve Rogers into the powerful and heroic Captain America, his amazing WWII exploits made him a living legend, but after awakening in present day following being frozen in ice for decades, Steve found himself alone in a modern world that he hardly recognized. Nevertheless, he quickly suited up as Captain America to help The Avengers defend Earth against Loki’s treachery. After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers team, Steve is living a quiet life in Washington, D.C., struggling to adjust to his new life, when he is drawn into a web of intrigue and danger to unmask a powerful but shadowy enemy that threatens to put the world at risk.’

A few days ago we got Captain America character posters featuring Steve Roger, Black Widow, Nick Fury and Robert Redford’s Alexander Pierce. Now it’s time for Anthony Mackie’s Falcon to get his own poster. And he’s certainly looking cool.

Before the Super Bowl, it was suggested there wouldn’t be that many movie ads, but in the end plenty of studio decided to flog their wares during the big game, which has resulted in a bit of a treat for movie fans.

Captain America 3 Already In The Works With Joe & Anthony Russo Set To Return To Direct

By Leave a Comment

captain-america-2-chris-evansIt’s still a couple of months until Captain America: The Winter Soldier is being released, but Marvel must be confident it’s going to be a success. It’s not that surprising that Marvel is already thinking about Captain America 3, but it certainly suggests they reckon the second instalment is shaping up to be good as they’ve already attached to directors of Winter Soldier, Joe and Anthony Russo, to helm.

Variety has the news that the Russo’s will probably be back, although they caution that official negotiations about their return won’t happen until after Winter Soldier’s release. However great test screening results for Cap 2 has ensured Marvel has moved to attach them to a third film.

There’s no news on when we might see the film. It’ll be a couple of years at least, as not only do we have Winter Soldier, but Captain America will also appear in Avengers: Age Of Ultron before he gets another standalone adventure.

Winter Soldier hits UK cinemas on March 28th and US theatre on April 4th.
