Details On The CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR "Splash Page Fight"; Plus New Image
EW's Captain America: Civil War coverage continues with a BTS look at the movie's big superhero showdown, which the crew took to calling the "splash page fight". There's also a new still featuring Cap (Chris vans), Bucky (Sebastian Stan), and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen)...
Entertainment Weekly has posted details on that big Captain America: Civil War airport fight scene glimpsed in the recent trailer. They start by reestablishing the sides: as we figured, Cap will be joined by Hawkeye, Falcon, Bucky, Scarlet Witch and, yes, Ant-Man. Backing up Iron Man will be War Machine, Black Panther, Black Widow and... well, they don't reveal who else - but if that leaked concept art from a while back is anything to go by, it'll be Vision.
Some specific scraps are described, too: apparently Black Widow gives Ant-Man a firm beating, while Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch blast away at some unseen foes in the sky (probably Rhodey and Vision), leaving Cap to go one-on-one with his former friend, Tony Stark.
The Russo brothers, who also directed the previous Captain America movie, give us an idea of the mindset of these characters as they throw down with the fellow heroes they once considered allies.
“The story is about family. And what happens if they don’t agree,” says Joe. “We’ve been comparing it to a fight at a wedding. What happens when your cousin and your brother go at it, and whose side are you on, and where does it go from there?” His brother Anthony adds: “How do you move forward from a moment where people who used to love each other and were on the same side, now hate each other and are trying to hurt each other?. [Cap is] such a strong, grounded, morally centered, ethically centered character. You can beat at him pretty hard as a hero, to try to crack that strength — both morally and physically.”
