The official cast for Captain America: Civil War has been revealed and it is looking mightier than Thor himself. Let's rundown the announced cast: Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, all of which have been with us since the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then we have the new members of the team with Anthony Mackie returning as Falcon, Paul Bettany as The Vision, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlett Witch, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. This will be the second movie in a row in which we will get to see Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and the first time we will see Chad Boseman as Black Panther, before getting his own movie in 2018. Sebastian Stan will be returning as the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes. Emily VanCamp will be back as Agent 13, as well as Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow, a.k.a. Crossbones. They're even bringing back William Hurt as General Ross, and he has been nowhere to be seen since 2008's The Incredible Hulk! Rounding out the cast are newcomers Daniel Bruhl, who will play the villain Baron Zemo, and Martin Freeman in an unspecified role. While nothing has been confirmed, and no actor has been cast, it is believed that Spider-man will make his first appearance as part of the MCU due to his major role in the Civil War comics. It is impossible to tell how big each character's role will be but so far the cast looks incredible. Marvel released a synopsis for the film alongside the cast list and it reads as follows: “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." From the sound of this synopsis, it doesn't appear as if the movie will follow the exact same plot as the comic book. Instead it seems like the superhero team will be split into two sides and will battle it out until it is time to put their differences aside to defeat the big, bad villain. I would personally prefer to see the movie devoted entirely to the intricate relationship between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark but it appears it won't be that way. Either way, this will still probably be a kick-ass movie that could stand as a third Avengers film. |
2017 has been a ridiculously good year for film. The amount of legitimately great movies we got is outstanding, but it also made this list extremely difficult to make. There are so many films I genuinely thought deserved to be on my list and having to pick which ones were going to be left out was harder than I thought it would be. I would like to point out that these films are on my list because of how they made me feel, and not necessarily just because of how well-made they are. So, without further ado, here are my top 15 best films of 2017! Honorable Mentions: The Shape of Water, The Disaster Artist, The Babysitter, Gerald's Game, Battle of the Sexes, I Tonya, Thor: Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. 15. Wonder Woman, dir. Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman has to be looked at as one of the most important superhero films we've ever had. It came out in a year where the female voice was louder and clearer than it has ever been. There has never been a female-led supe...
