'Captain America: Civil War': The Vision, Bucky Barnes, Scarlet Witch Confirmed; Details About Martin Freeman's Character, Wakanda Connection

Marvel has confirmed some of the cast members, and the characters they will be playing, in “Captain America: Civil War.” Meanwhile, a new report gives details about what Martin Freeman’s role will be in the movie and how it will connect to Wakanda. [Spoiler alert]

Recently introduced characters The Vision, played by Paul Bettany, and Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen, will be a part of “Captain America: Civil War.” Marvel made the announcement on its official website and also confirmed the shooting locations for the movie.

Other cast members will include Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes; Anthony Mackie as the Falcon; Don Cheadle as the War Machine; Chris Evans as Steve Rogers; Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark; Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye; and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff.

Paul Rudd is set to make his debut in the franchise by playing Ant-Man. The movie will also feature Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther; Emily VanCamp as Agent 13; Frank Grillo as Crossbones; and William Hurt as Gen. Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. The roles of cast members Daniel Bruhl and Martin Freeman have not been disclosed.

But a report by LatinoReview says Freeman will play an “interrogator,” and his character will appear in the 2018 “Black Panther” movie. The report speculates that this interrogator may be the comic-book character Everett Ross, a U.S government agent. The character is seen as an “expert” on the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda, which is home to the Black Panther.

A reference to Wakanda was made in the recently released “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” It is still unclear if any other character from Wakanda will appear in the upcoming movie.

Principal photography of “Captain America: Civil War” has already begun at the Pinewood Studios in Atlanta. The movie will mostly be shot in Atlanta, plus locations in Germany, Puerto Rico and Iceland. The movie is slated to be released May 6, 2016, in the U.S.
