Before Marvel brings Civil War to the screen with next year’s Captain America: Civil War, the publisher is set to revisit the popular story arc as part of its huge Secret Wars event this summer courtesy of writer Charles Soule (The Death of Wolverine).
Secret Wars is an opportunity to revisit some of the great Marvel stories of the past,” Soule tells CNN. “One of those is Civil War, and I got the call to work on that. Civil War happened in 2006 and 2007, and in that story Captain America and Iron Man went after each other based on an ideological difference on superheroes in the world. What I’m doing is taking that story in a different direction… The idea is to take some of the events in the original storyline and spin them off into entirely new stories. Without spoiling, this deals with a world that has been ravaged for quite some time when we pick up the story. I felt the original Civil War explored those questions very well. If I was going to play in this sandbox, I wanted to ask my own questions.”
As yet, there’s no word on a release date for this new Civil War series, but we’ll keep you posted…
