James Rhodes / War Machine (Don Cheadle) – Rhodey has been a friend of Tony Stark’s for a long time, and as been an active hero as “War Machine” for longer than most of the Avengers as well (at least publicly anyway), so when things start to go south, he knows what side of the fence he wants to be on… Peter Parker / Spider-Man (Tom Holland) – Peter has found himself with super-powers, and now he’s getting used to the idea of using his powers to help the little guys with small crimes… That is until a certain Mr. Sam Wilson / Falcon (Anthony Mackie) – Sam is now a close friend of Captain America himself, and wishes to help him in anyway he can… no matter how serious things end up getting… Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) – Formally a Russian spy-turned SHIELD spy, Natasha now hangs out with The Avengers, a fact that will soon lead to a painful decision for her… Since then he has been blinded by thoughts of vengeance against the so-called heroes he deems solely responsible. Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) – Zemo’s wife, child and father were killed in the Sokovia incident. T’Challa / Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) – T’Challa is Wakandan Prince who looks up to his father as he tries to bring Wakanda out of isolation and into the wider world… He is constantly on the run, trying to remember who he even is any more… He has memories of both his life as Bucky Barnes and friendship with Captain America, and his time as an assassin. Tony Stark / Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) – Tony tried to step away from his super hero life, but found his couldn’t, whether that be for the sake of the people or his own ego… an ego that will soon receive a blow from a grieving mother…īucky Barnes / Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) – Bucky was a WWII hero who got turned into the Winter Soldier by Hydra, an assassin periodically thawed from his icy tomb in Siberia to carry out missions, before being re-frozen. Steve Rogers / Captain America (Chris Evans) – Steve still has his old pal Bucky on his mind, knowing the former assassin is still out there, but the trail has gone cold, and he has a team of Avengers to lead… It’s scenes like this that make me appreciate how far the MCU has come… I mean Ant-Man and Scarlet Witch are in the same scene and both are just as legitimate a character as Cap. Just as things begin to reach breaking point, Winter Soldier returns, and a new event triggers a split in the Avengers that may never be repaired… Captain America believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference, whereas Iron Man sharply disagrees and supports oversight. The new status quo deeply divides members of the team. Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. It’s also the film that introduces us to both the MCU’s Spider-Man and Black Panther, the latter of whom’s solo film would turn out to be more successful than the former, which no one would have guessed a few years ago! So let’s dive in! So I’m going to watch Avengers: Infinity War tomorrow (or today, when this review goes up!) but I didn’t really have the time to watch a lot of MCU films leading up to it… in fact I just squeezed this one in, but still! Let’s have a look at Civil War, the film that could be argued as the real Avengers 3, though I feel that’s unfair given the focus is still very much on Captain America rather than the ensemble of heroes around him.
