More than Ultron?

 

[Fuu]

I'm guessing what happens at the end of Age of Ultron.

That will certainly come into play, but the summary mentions a new international incident that raises political pressure for superhero accountability.

More than Ultron?

It's basically another Avengers movie, and it goes against BvS meaning they want it to be as big, so why not.

 

[TacticalFox88]

More than Ultron?

Ultron had a $280 budget, so I'm not sure if I'll go that far.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Fury and Hill have to show up, right?

Sam Jackson's contract is up already (if you include Infinity Wars), isn't it? I actually wonder if he'll be making an appearance.

He seems like the kind of guy to appear just for the sake of it.

 

[Dai101]

We've also got Winter Soldier in there somewhere, and Black Panther. Honestly I'm a little worried. I know we haven't seen anything yet, and I have faith in Russos, but still.

I'm re-watching TWS right now and DAMN. Am i glad they're taking the helm of the MCU over Whedon.

He's quoted as saying and hinting he wants his contract extended and to come back.

Yeah I can't see why he wouldn't, he likes playing the character and he's cool with making even TV appearances. The decision is down to Marvel.

Christo at all the money they have to spend for all these actors again.

 

[Neoxon]

Someone make a thread for Ant-Man, Vision, & Thunderbolt Ross in Civil War (together, obviously).

 

[TacticalFox88]

This is why they do multi-picture deals instead one-per-film.

This is the VASTLY cheaper option.

Fury's totally going to appear in the Sony/MCU Spider-Man film, isn't he?

(We're going to get that scene where Fury confronts Peter in High School from Ultimate Spider-Man, aren't we?)

Don't worry, they pay them peanuts Perlmutter makes sure of that.

I was thinking of the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. I forgot Ultimate Spider-Man the cartoon was a thing.

Does anyone think that this scene from the Ant-Man trailer could be

Him going to New Avengers base seen at the end of AoU?

Nice. Will add them to the Rooster tomorrow.

Where shall I categorize Ross? Under Villains?

it shows the ending of AoU showing the 4 new recruits and then pans over to Rudd.

[mreddie]

I really hope this is still Steve's movie.

 

[jph139]

THUNDERBOLT ROSS. Goddamn, I did NOT expect those rumors to pan out. Thought the Incredible Hulk's cast was 100% gone, never to return, but here we are. Wonder if this means he'll be showing up in Ant-Man too? I remember rumors along those lines.

...maybe the movie "stinger" has Ant-Man being tapped by Ross? Have him drafted by the US government, ultimately ending up on Tony's side. That'd be cool.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

OP Updated:

-Added Synopsis
-Added Characters

 

[danielcw]

How big are the chances for Gwyneth Paltrow to return?

 

[Weapxn]

How big are the chances for Gwyneth Paltrow to return?

Her contract is up, so they'd just have to ask her. She's not obligated to though. From past interviews, however, it seems like she really enjoyed the films. I believe she appeared in The Avengers for the fun of it.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Maybe I am making this up, but Tony sounded really sad as he talked about her in Age of Ultron.

Would be great to see her return.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Some set photos.

Looks like shanty towns, possibly South Africa?

That... does not match what I've read Wakanda described as. I really hope they wouldn't change Wakanda for no reason like that.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Geez, at this point, why not throw in Hulk, the Guardians, Thanos, Cloak and Dagger, and fucking Squirrel Girl? This isn't a Captain America movie anymore, it's Avengers 2.5: Civil War. After the success of Avengers now Disney/Marvel wants all of their movies to be team-ups and it's really hurting the individual characters. Age of Ultron suffered by being too big, bloated, and dare I say, Bay-esque and it looks like Civil War is going to up that ante. AND IT'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING AVENGERS MOVIE.

Jesus, Feige, at this point, I'm wishing you just kept Serpent Society.

Quoting duckroll's post from the MCU thread because I think it addresses your bitching quite well:

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of recognizable superheroes in the cast listing, but it's interesting to note that the total cast listed in the Civil War press release is only two more than the one in the press release when The Winter Soldier went into production.

The Winter Soldier had Captain America, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Alexander Pierce, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Maria Hill, Brock Rumlow, Georges Batroc, Peggy Carter, Arnim Zola, Agent 13, and Jasper Sitwell all listed in the press release.

Civil War has Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Winter Soldier, Falcon, The Vision, Hawkeye, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Agent 13, Crossbones, Thunderbolt Ross, and Son Distant Cousin of Thanos listed in the press release.

Characters can have a significant role in the film even if they are only in a single short scene. Peggy Carter and Arnim Zola being prime examples. They can also be characters who appear in a cool set piece but have no role in the larger story - like Batroc.

Quoting duckroll's post from the MCU thread because I think it addresses your bitching quite well:

I guess you're right, but at this point there's just so many plot threads for Steve to worry about.

Spoiler

Steve vs. Tony. Steve trying to find Bucky, Steve training the new Avengers, Steve trying to take down the remains of HYDRA, namely Zemo. Steve finding new heroes which is where BP and Spidey will come in.

Admittedly, most of that is just speculation, but I'm really worried this movie will have WAY too much going on to keep everything straight.

For all we know, Zemo is going to be dealt with as quickly as (AoU spoiler?)

Spoiler

Strucker was.

And Spidey could be the smallest of cameos for all we know. Also, time will have passed between AoU and CW, so I really don't know that much time will be spent showing

Spoiler

Steve training the new Avengers

. Your concerns just seem so panicky and fanboy crazy to me.

Considering how awesome Winter Soldier was and how much faith Marvel clearly has in the Russos by bringing them back for Civil War and giving them Infinity War...people just need to calm the f down.

 

[Pachimari]

I still feel like this is going to be a Captain America movie first and foremost. Oh fuck it, people will say it is Avengers 2.5 until the day of release...

 

[Broken Joystick]

Yeah, it's a shame because this is Cap's story through and through. His search for Winter Solider, his battle with coming to terms to a new world, answering to higher ups that weren't trust-worthy, his own inner turmoil and so on.

Cap has been my favourite character in the MCU, it was originally Tony but after re-watching The First Avenger before Winter Solider, Cap just does something for me. I hope he gets the proper end to a trilogy that I felt Tony never really got.

 

[Fuu]

The Civil War trailers will be insane. Winter Soldier caliber action pieces, Iron Man versus Cap, huge amount of cameos with one liners/single cool scenes, at least one scene with Spidey.

The people at Marvel who cut the trailers must be salivating already. I usually stop watching pre-release media at a certain point, but I'm not sure I'll be able to resist with this one.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Bucky possibly in the clothes he was wearing in the WS end credits?

 

[jmood88]

Probably Wakanda and introducing Black Panther. Also is Ulysses Klaw not in this movie?

There is nothing about that set that suggests Wakanda.

Just add Civil War by Guns N' Roses in the background & you have a winner of a trailer.

 

[Mighty Chin]

I didn't think AOU was bloated at all.

Civil War should be just fine as long as each character is defined by their character and not their powers.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Probably Wakanda and introducing Black Panther. Also is Ulysses Klaw not in this movie?

That better bloody not be Wakanda, if they change a super-advanced African country into 'generic poor African country' I imagine that wouldn't do well for their image.

That being said, I genuinely doubt it's Wakanda.
