Kevin Feige On How AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Helped Map Out CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
In a new interview with IGN, Kevin Feige dishes on how the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron helped set up the events we will see in Captain America: Civil War! Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans also share their point of view on the film. Check it out!
As we all know (or should know), the third film in the Captain America franchise will be titled Captain America: Civil War and it will put Tony Stark and Steve Rogers against each other. We’ve already have multiple reports or why the two will fight and we’ve also had rumors of the members that will side with the Captain and those who will side with Iron Man. But now, in a new interview with IGN, Marvel head Kevin Feige revealed many aspects in Avengers: Age of Ultron that will help set up the events in the Civil War film. For instance, the leaked “wood-chopping” scene. “I showed the scene of the two of them chopping wood together during our announcement," He then added, "It's one of my favorite scenes - because I thought it did represent the undercurrent of their disagreements to come. So a lot of the groundwork is being laid here."
Feige then reveals that the end scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron also helps set up for Stark’s and Capt’s battle and it’s one of his favorite moments in the film. No need to fear, Kevin Feige’s quotes contain NO spoilers. “There's a great moment at the end of this movie [Avengers: Age of Ultron] that we won't spoil, but it involves the notion of them realizing that the only way through all this is together, and I love that. It's one of my favorite moments in the film.” He then continues by saying the events of Age of Ultron could have been avoided, and woudn’t have been fixed without the help of Tony Stark/Iron Man. “I do think that if it wasn't for Tony then maybe none of this would have happened. And if it wasn't for Tony then the day may not have been saved. But his intentions were good, and I think we cary that through in future films in a way that makes it very balanced in terms of who you might agree with in arguments to come."
Robert Downey Jr. then shared his viewpoint on Captian America: Civil War and tells the reason he thinks Tony Stark is different from his ally-turned-enemy Steve Rogers. "But also [Tony] Stark grew up under the shadow of this very close father son/relationship that Howard [Stark] had with Steve [Rogers, Captain America] so I'm sure that it's driven by some unconscious motives." He then elaborates and applies a trait to the two characters that he thinks best fit them. "At the same time, they're two vastly different generations of moral psychology. And arguably, Cap's is more righteous. But I think Tony is a realist. So that's always a fun dynamic to play."
That above was Robert Downey Jr.'s viewpoint, but Chris Evan's A.K.A. Steve Rogers had this to say about Captain America: Civil War and how Captain America and Iron Man are different. "This is why I think the next movie is going to be so effective - Civil War - because there's a flip-flop in the way we approach things. Tony's always been a trailblazer. He's always been his own man and he bucks authority. He dances to the beat of his own drum. Cap comes from a world or order, and organization, and hierarchy, and structure." He then says how he thinks Captain America: The Winter Soldier helped shaped the events in Captain America: Civil War as well. "I think after Cap 2 when SHIELD kind of fell that Cap kind of realized that you can't necessarily trust the people around you - or you can't trust the system. I think he now is kind of starting to follow his own heart, and do his own thing, and as a result there becomes this kind of flip-flop in perspective."
