New CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Image Hits With Intriguing Details From Robert Downey Jr.
Hit the jump and check out an intense Captain America: Civil War scene description featuring the Black Panther and the Avengers, as well as a new image from the highly-anticipated movie.
Before the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly hits newsstands tomorrow, the magazine has just revealed more tidbits from its cover story on Captain America: Civil War. In addition to a new still image featuring Chris Evans (Steve Rogers) sitting across from Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark), the latter actor has talked lengthily about the politics of Iron Man's decisions in the Marvel threequel. Plus, there's a description of what sounds like an intense Civil War scene that you can read below!
During the on-set interview with Robert Downey Jr., the Iron Man star was sporting a black eye (as seen in the Captain America: Civil War trailer), but it didn't come from Evans' Super Soldier. "No, I mean, look, if he and I are gonna beat each other senseless, that should be an Act III thing," he said, remaining tight-lipped about who gave Stark the black eye. Downey then revealed he agrees with Iron Man wanting the government to have control overs superheroes. "It didn’t bother me at all," he said. "I’ve always thought of it in some ways that Tony is the antagonist to himself in his own story, so this isn’t a problem. This guy understands problems ‘cause he is a problem. And he tends to create problems." He continued, "I’m not having to patter around what I think the worldview is. I wholeheartedly agree with what he does in this. Which is, by the way, more than I could say for some of the other movies." For more from Robert Downey and Chris Evans on Civil War, head to Entertainment Weekly. However, you can find that scene description directly below.
Here’s the scene: An elevator opens in the op-center, and Steve Rogers and his friend Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Anthony Mackie’s Falcon, walk out – with a silent T’Challa (the public identity of Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther) walking in front of them alongside the government attaché played by Martin Freeman. Scarlet Johansson’s Black Widow is with them, and she’s not saying anything either. Something bad has gone down. Cap and Falcon were involved. It did not go well. They have handed over their vibranium shield and flying apparatus before being allowed access to this place. The pair look like they’re being sent to the principal’s office.
“You guys want to take a seat?” Widow says. “And try not to break anything while we fix this.” Stark, who hasn’t yet had his beat-down, is on his cell phone with U.S. Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) as Cap and Falcon step into the nerve center of the intelligence office. “No, Romania was not sanctioned by the accords …. Col. Rhodes is supervising clean-up… Yes, there will be consequences…” Stark looks irritated, tired. “Obviously, you can quote me on that. I just said it.” He hangs up, and beholds his Avengers. “Consequences?” Cap says. “Secretary Ross wanted you both prosecuted,” Iron Man answers. “I had to give him something.” “I’m not getting that shield back, am I?” Cap says. Black Widow walks ahead, joining Stark. “Technically it belongs to the government. Wings, too,” she says. “That’s cold,” Falcon says. Stark spins on his heel as the two walk away with T’Challa. He flashes a tight, unpleasant smile. “Warmer than jail!” he says.
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Captain America: Civil War opens in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2016. The movie has an ensemble cast led by Chris Evans, and includes 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, with William Hurt, and Martin Freeman.
