PHOTOS: Another Familiar Face Spotted On The Set Of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
This is not exactly a spoiler, but new Captain America: Civil War set photos reveal the inclusion of an actor who made a brief, but very special appearance in The Avengers. Find out after the jump!
After taking a break for the Memorial Day weekend, Marvel's Captain America: Civil War will pick up principal photography today somewhere in or around Atlanta, Georgia. And while filming on the African Market set had wrapped last week, some overlooked photos have surfaced from the shoot that reveal the return of another actor previously established in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Damion Poitier is the original actor behind the short cinematic debut of Thanos in The Avengers. And while Josh Brolin has since been cast as the mad titan, it appears that Marvel Studios has given Poitier another role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; one where he may actually be recognizable. Thanks to a heads up via CBM users Theace69 and TheAmbassador, the following photos from the Captain America: Civil War set feature Damion Poitier while he's getting a close-up during the sequence in which Cap and his new Avengers battle Crossbones and his goons. What do you think?
Based on his attire in the photos, as well as his many stunt performing credits, one might think that Poitier is doubling for Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther, who has yet to be seen on the set. However, his militaristic ensemble strongly resembles what Crossbones' goons were wearing.
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain. Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6, 2016.
