Strangely enough, the only thing that I'm hoping that Marvel ends up finally putting a nail in the coffin when it comes to debates and question is if they'll end up clarifying whether good old Steve is still technically a virgin or not since this debate has been raging on between so many of my friends, even more so now that some of them were disappointed that he didn't hook up with either Sharon or Natasha by the end of TWS. lol

Personally, I'm hoping some Agent Cater flashback will show that Steve and Peggy actually did bone during WWII.

Captain America 3: (Not Actually) A 90-Year-Old Virgin.

Here is hoping Captain America's fight scene with Iron Man does not disappoint

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

hmmm lol...bone. heh. Question, in the comics, have there been any interaction between cap and mockingbird. Just curious...

 

[Tg11]

I wonder if Bucky will get his memories back

 

[Kane52630]

Basically.

 

[Steve Holt]

hahahahaha so tense, i wonder where the rest of the team fall on this

 

[Art Freak]

Just take the blueberry!

 

[BizarroAids]

I wonder if Bucky will get his memories back

Probably just in time for the Tony/Cap showdown, which could have him showing up and shooting Tony so Cap gets the upper hand.

Which would start a whole new round of debates on who really won!

 

[JOE]

Dayummmmm... Never noticed how curvy Cap was.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Just take the blueberry!

But I like strawberry! *punch*

With Tony having created Ultron, whom we know creates tons of chaos throughout the world in AOU, before getting into a fight with Steve in this film..do you guys think Iron Man might end out coming from the events of this film as one of more hated heroes of the MCU, especially if he ends up being one of the reasons why Steve gets killed off temporarily?

Marvel wouldn't let it come to that. Too much money to be lost.

They'll make Steve into the bad guy before they do the same to Tony.

 

[ctsketch]

I disagree, There is no Iron Man 4 on the horizon, they could make Tony a little hated for creating Ultron if they want. people will still love Tony anyways

 

[BullMcGiveny]

Are kids going to want to buy an Iron Man puts Black Widow in jail action figure set is the question.

Captain America Screenwriters Talk Civil War and Adapting the Comic

How Peggy Carter could be a factor, the Black Panther casting and more.

By Lucy O'Brien and Eric Goldman

During the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, IGN joined a small group of journalists to chat with Captain America: The First Avenger/Captain America: The Winter Soldier screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely about returning to write the third film, Captain America: Civil War (and their TV series Agent Carter, but more on that later).

Naturally, with Marvel's formidable secrecy, there were few specifics they could give on the film, which -- like the comic book story it's based on -- will involve Captain America and Iron Man at odds with one another. However, they did touch on the Black Panther casting, the relationship between Tony Stark and Peggy Carter, balancing the Civil War comic storyline with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the film's tone.
The Agent Carter TV series is further establishing the bond between Howard Stark and Peggy Carter, which begs the question - just how well did Howard's son Tony know Peggy? And how might Peggy, as a potentially important figure in both their lives, impact the Tony/Steve Rogers dynamic in Civil War?

Here's what McFeely has to say about Tony and Peggy and how their dynamic might play out in Civil War:

"As we have not started shooting, and I’m on my fourth draft of many, that question [of who Peggy was to Tony Stark] has been in and out all over the place so who knows. So many things can shake out but we’ve had conversations and we pitched scenes. Some stay and some don’t. But we saw [Peggy] in Winter Soldier, so we know she’s around".

The duo briefly mentioned their excitement over the casting of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, but didn't go into detail on the character, who will be introduced in Civil War.

I’ll keep that one close to the vest," said McFeely, "but I’m very gratified that they went with Chadwick and that he said yes because he’s a good get."

McFeely and Marcus also talked about their initial reactions to reading the Civil War storyline.

"There’s a depth of myth [to the Civil War storyline]," said McFeely. "People asked this earlier at our other panel, why now? Why are comic books so prevalent? Why are these movies doing so well? In some ways, we’ve become a genre that you can do well now given the world of computers and perhaps it’s also just a time in the sun. You went to the movies in the 50’s and 60’s you went to a western. So at this point, you’re going to a superhero movie. It’s taking over that same black hat, white hat myth-making surface. I don’t have a much smarter answer than that."

As for how long the storyline has been on the table as a potential film, McFeely admits it was "on and off", primarily because the MCU has evolved so much since the book was written.

"It’s been on and off the table for a while, let’s put it that way, and it’s a challenge to do it and make sure that all the characters that we’ve established, and everyone’s established in the MCU are serviced and sound correct, right? Because there’s a difference between the characters in Civil War, which was written in 2006, 2007. The MCU doesn’t exist [when it was written]. There isn’t a Robert Downey Jr. or Chris Evans who have helped create the character so we need to make sure that that template gets adjusted and what have you in order to make sure it services these characters and not just sort of rip off their parts and make them look like them.

As for the third time round writing for Chris Evans? McFeely compares him to a screen legend.

"I might be repeating myself. He’s Gary Cooper for me. Him as Cap is Gary Cooper. He can do a lot with stillness and because Cap is usually right and usually held up to be right, people want to be lead by him. So, that’s one of the things I like about Chris is that he brings… Remember the parts he played before this. He was uber charming. He was hilarious. He still has that. You still like him. But it’s the fact that he’s holding that back that makes you lean in to him. It’s a different chapter for him and I’m not sure any of us said, ‘That’s the perfect guy because he was the Human Torch!’ Turns out he was the perfect guy because there’s a depth to him."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier had a very different tone and aesthetic from The First Avenger, but it sounds like Civil War, which will again be directed by The Winter Soldier's Russo brothers, won't be quite as big of a veer.

Joked McFeely, "Every Captain America movie has a genre and Civil War is the musical! No, I think part of the reason for bringing back us and bringing back the [Russo] brothers is because Marvel is very pleased with Winter Soldier aesthetically. I think it’s a really adult movie. it’s very well made and that’s partly the texture of the movie. You can argue it’s the most realistic of the Marvel movies, whatever that is to you. I think it’s fair to say that a Russo brothers movie will stay in that vein."

One journalist broached the subject of Spider-Man, and the leaked info that there was an attempt between Sony and Marvel to introduce him into the MCU in Civil War that didn't pan out. Not shockingly, the writers were tightlipped on anything regarding that situation, with McFeely grinning and saying, "I read that as well" about the reports that Spider-Man nearly appeared in Civil War. Asked what he thought as the news began to leak, McFeely simply replied, "More problems for me!" And when he was asked which side Spider-Man would have been on had he been in the film, McFeely replied, "That’s a great question! More problems for me!"

They also just confirmed that Black Widow will be back as well.

 

[Jumpman]

Has there been any mention of whether or not Van Camp's Agent 13 will be in CIVIL WAR? With the film having so many characters, I just figured she'd get the axe, no matter how they set her up in WINTER SOLDIER.

I hope she returns.

Did you watch that interview?! My god, it was terrible. The Russos were getting fed up, can't blame them. It was almost laughable. But, good to hear that BW is coming back.

Idk, I'd be a little upset if they don't bring her back. A great setup, would be wasted, especially if they wanted to stick to the death of Captain America story.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

They'll make Steve into the bad guy before they do the same to Tony.

Not a chance in hell.

 

[Superhero 101]

So Happy That Widow will be in Civil War it just wouldn't make sense without her.

So looks like this will be Avengers 2.0 we have Falcon Panther Iron Man and potentially Hawkeye ... and Winter Soldier

 

[Suzanne78]

Why, in the world, in a Captain America movie following the most well received solo sequel in the MCU, would they take Cap and turn him into the bad guy in this? In his own movie?

That… makes such little sense. Regardless of where you fell during your reading of CW, Cap was never really a bad guy, even with the bad writing. Here, in the movies, he's already established, and well, as a leader and embodiment of everything that we should strive to be

Tony's going to, likely, be the antagonist in this. Not a villain, but Cap's foil. I'm sure that we're supposed to side and root for Cap. I think, if anything, he'll be positioned as the underdog for most of his movie, which is kind of why I always root for Steve anyway.

Oh, and BLACK WIDOW RETURNING?! YAY YAY YAY!

 

[Loki882]

Why would they turn their most popular character/actor into the guy we're supposed to root AGAINST? Especially since that completely shoots his character arc through his own trilogy all to Hell? God CW is such a crap-fest.
