Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard various rumors aboutCaptain America: Civil War, including our possiblefirst lookat theSpider-Man(Tom Holland) costume, and details aboutBlack Panther’s (Chadwick Boseman) mission in the movie. While we’ll have to wait until May 6 to find out if those details are true or not, today we have a new report fromBirth.Movies.Death, with several of their sources having already seen the movie and offering it high praise. These unidentified sources particularly praise bothSpider-Manand Black Panther.
We know that the movie takes place in the aftermath of the Sokovia destruction inAvengers: Age of Ultron, with another catastrophe that causes world leaders to demand accountability for these heroes' actions. Almost all of the major heroes fromAvengers: Age of Ultronappear in the movie, with the notable exceptions of Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Many have speculated that, with all of these heroes under one cinematic roof,Captain America: Civil Warmay be just another Avengers movie, but these sources indicate that’s clearly not the case, since the story “truly focuses” on Captain America (Chris Evans) and Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).
As forSpider-ManandBlack Panther, no specific details about their stories were given, but Spidey is said to be “great” in the movie, while T’challa is described as “phenomenal,” withChadwick Bosemansaid to be a “great addition to the MCU.” The site’s source also teases that the final act of the movie is “brutal,” which falls in line with what directorsAnthony RussoandJoe Russosaid last month about the movie, teasing it will deliver a “seismic shock” to the MCU. Here’s an excerpt fromBirth.Movies.Death’s report about the last half-hour of the movie.
“This movie picks up the pieces ofAvengers: Age of Ultronin surprising and human ways and makes us feel the true cost of Sokovia. And I’ve been told that the last half hour of the film is brutal, both physically and emotionally. One person told me that the last act plays out as an emotional horror movie because the film gives both Tony and Steve solid reasoning, and because it truly makes you feel the depths of this schism.”
With the May 6 release date just under two months away, we still haven’t seen that much fromCaptain America: Civil War, aside from two trailers and a handful of photos. We’ll surely get more footage in the weeks that follow, but we’ll have to wait and see how much more Marvel plans on revealing before the release date. What do you think about these newCaptain America: Civil Wardetails? Are you even more excited to seeSpider-ManandBlack Pantherin action?
