Captain America: Civil War Starts Filming With Some Surprises

Marvel has announced that Captain America: Civil War has begun filming in Atlanta, GA. Along with the announcement there was a synopsis and cast list.

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

The cast list is where we find a few surprises.

The film returns Chris Evans ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron") as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America along with Robert Downey Jr. ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," Marvel's "Iron Man 3") as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier") as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Captain America: The First Avenger") as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier") as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Paul Bettany ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Iron Man 3") as The Vision, Jeremy Renner ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," Marvel's "The Avengers") as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Don Cheadle ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Iron Man 3") as Jim Rhodes/War Machine and Elizabeth Olsen ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Godzilla") as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

After his debut in Marvel's "Ant-Man" on July 17, 2015, Paul Rudd ("Ant-Man," "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues") will make his first appearance alongside the Avengers as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in "Captain America: Civil War."

The film also includes outstanding additional cast, including Chadwick Boseman ("42," "Get on Up") as T'Challa/Black Panther, Emily VanCamp ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Revenge") as Sharon Carter/Agent 13, Daniel Brühl ("Inglourious Basterds," "Bourne Ultimatum"), Frank Grillo ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Warrior") as Brock Rumlow/Crossbones, William Hurt ("A History of Violence," Marvel's "The Incredible Hulk") as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Martin Freeman ("The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies").

Some of the surprise from this announcement are that Paul Bettany (The Vision) and Don Cheadle (War Machine) are listed but weren't talked about much originally.

Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) will be part of the cast which also wasn't mentioned before but was speculated about.

Daniel Bruhl and Martin Freeman are listed without characters… but most folks are expecting them to be Baron Zemo and Everett Ross.

This will be the first real connection back to the Incredible Hulk film with the inclusion of William Hurt as General Thunderbolt Ross.

And then the names not listed are also surprising. No Nick Fury, Maria Hill or even Phil Coulson.

Captain America: Civil War will be in theaters May 6th, 2016
