When Captain America: Civil War co-stars Martin Freeman and Paul Rudd had stopped by The Graham Norton Show yesterday to promote the Marvel threequel, the latter Ant-Man actor had recalled different “fangirl moments” he had while shooting the upcoming flick.
“I saw Sebastian Stan getting the silver arm on, and it felt like I was watching somebody bathing,” said Paul Rudd. “[I felt like] I’m not supposed to see this! But I went over and kind of felt the arm.” The actor then recalled another moment: “Chris Evans had to run to the bathroom really quick, so he asked the prop guy [to] hold his shield.” Rudd gestured the prop guy to let him hold the shield, which he joked felt “a lot heavier than I imagined.”
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo and from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Marvel’s 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. With an all-star cast that includes 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, with William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is scheduled for release on May 6, 2016.
