As Marvel prepares to unleash Avengers: Age of Ultron across the globe, the cast of the superhero ensemble are doing the press rounds for the film, while many of them are also preparing to reprise their roles for production on Marvel’s first 2016 release, the Phase Three launching Captain America: Civil War. Speaking to Collider, Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she’s read the script for the threequel, and teased its “psychological twists.”
“I have read the script for Civil War. You know, the film has a very different feeling than anything of Marvel’s that I’ve read or been a part of before. These films are—I don’t think darker is the right word because there’s definitely always going to be some kind of levity, and that comes in a form of humor or hope. When you compare these films to like Batman, it’s a different feeling obviously, it’s a different audience experience, but as the stakes loom like larger and larger I think these films are kind of maturing with the audience; so there’s even more complex psychological twists that I sort of hadn’t necessarily anticipated.”

Johansson also went on to speak about her excitement reuniting wih Captain America: The Winter Soldier helmers Anthony and Joe Russo: “I’m excited to work with the Russos again. They have a very different approach to this universe than Joss, just different. It will be interesting to see how they treat all of these new characters. When we were doing Cap 2, the film felt very much like we were doing a kind of ‘70s style car-chase political-thriller, it had that kind of flavor. But they were also dealing with far less characters, the stakes were just different. Now with Civil War it’s gonna be interesting to see how they set up this next phase, I think Cap 3 is definitely sort of like a pre-Avengers 3 and 4. It feels like that, whereas Cap 2 didn’t feel like it was necessarily part of The Avengers. I mean, it feels like a piece that fits in, but it didn’t feel like it was leading you into Avengers 2.”
Captain America: Civil War is set for release on April 29th 2016 in the UK and May 6th in the States, with a cast sees Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton/Hawkeye), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier) and Frank Grillo (Brock Rumlow/Crossbones) alongside Chadwick Boseman (Get on Up) as T’Challa/Black Panther and Daniel Bruhl (Rush) as a new villain, rumoured to be Baron Zemo.
