Another day, another rumour doing the rounds on all things comic book movies. This time it’s the turn of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Heroic Hollywood claiming they know how The Avengers will be split once the events of Captain America: Civil War unfold.
According to the website, the teams will be split 6 to 5:
Team Captain America:
Captain America, Hawkeye, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, The Winter Soldier
Team Iron-Man:
Iron-Man, The Vision, Spider-Man, Black Widow, War Machine
Word is that Black Panther is the neutral one in the group, and of course Thor and Hulk are supposedly absent from Civil War, despite rumours of Mark Ruffalo’s presence on-set.
So, if true, what do you make of those teams?
Captain America: Civil War is set for release on April 29th 2016 in the UK and May 6th 2016 in the States, with Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) directing a cast that includes 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), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier), Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch), Paul Bettany (The Vision), Don Cheadle (James Rhondes/War Machine), Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant-Man), Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter) and Frank Grillo (Brock Rumlow/Crossbones) and William Hurt (General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross) alongside new additions Chadwick Boseman (Get on Up) as T’Challa/Black Panther, Daniel Bruhl (Rush) as Baron Zemo, Martin Freeman (Sherlock) and Tom Holland (The Impossible) as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
