‘Captain America: Civil War’ Synopsis Hints At The Shape Of The MCU After ‘Age Of Ultron’
The first synopsis is out for Marvel’s upcoming filmCaptain America: Civil War, which begins shooting on April 1 in Atlanta. The info won’t tell comics fans anything they don’t already know, but for those new to the story theCivil Warsynopsis will offer some indication of what’s to come.
(Note: this was mentioned inSuperhero Bitsyesterday, but we figured it might be of interest to those who don’t read that column.)
Colliderhas this info, pulled from casting reports. So it probably isn’t quite what the official language from Marvel will say:
That’s pretty much how the comics version of the story goes, except that the “collective governments of the world” part seems to expand the scope somewhat. That’s to be expected in a film like this, and also references elements of the backstory forAge of Ultroncharacter Vision, who himself has been monitored by a coalition of global government agencies in past Avengers stories.
We knew that the film will basically feature heroes split into factions led by Cap (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) after the events ofAge of Ultron. Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) will be in the mix, too, which may account in part for the world governments reference in the synopsis.
Beyond that the question is which other Avengers will show up.Bleeding Coolhas a rumor (that should be consideredspoilerish) about who’ll show up, andBadass Digesthas a long piece picking apart what might and might not be true about that. I’d advise only those who are unconcerned with possibleAge of Ultronspoilers to read those pieces, as they have a lot of speculation and possible real info about who’ll make it out of that film alive, and in what shape the living heroes will be.
