Two More Characters Join 'Captain America: Civil War'

Learn below which two Marvel heroes will be joining the superhero beatdown!

Story by Matt Cummings

It's becoming clear that Marvel's kickoff to Phase 3 - Captain America: Civil War - doesn't only feature The Star-Spangled Man, but will be host to a growing number of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over the past few months, we've learned that Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Falcon will join Cap and Iron Man as they battle over the Superhuman Registration Act. Yesterday saw actor Martin Freeman sign on to play an unknown role.

That list got a little bigger today, when it was announced that both Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Black Panther (Chadwick Bozeman) will also appear. The film will mark Bozeman's first as Black Panther, while Rudd's Ant-Man will enjoy a second appearance. The movie will apparently only follow a limited amount of the original comic plot, where an international incident forces both Cap and Iron Man to choose sides regarding the Act. We're still waiting to see when Spider-Man will be announced, as shooting will be starting soon.

They'll have a lot of heroes to try to convince to their side. Joining them will be Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter/Agent 13), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier), Daniel Brühl (Baron Zemo), Frank Grillo (Crossbones), William Hurt (General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross) and the newly-signed Martin Freeman in an unknown role. Age of Ultron team members Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Vision (Paul Bettany), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), War Machine (Don Cheadle, and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).
