Are Marvel Fans Prepared for What’s in Store in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR?
Marvel fans might think they are prepared for what Captain America: Civil War is going to do with the MCU, but the Russo Bros., who are directing the film, aren’t so sure that you are.
During an interview with ComicBook.com, the directing duo was asked about the impact that this movie will have on the MCU, and Joe Russo responded:
“It's going to be more evolved than it ever has been with in any of the films. Winter Soldier created a seismic shift in terms of the world of the Marvel Universe. This is going to create a seismic shift in the psychology of the character which is more profound. It's a very profound shift.”
Joe went on to explain the importance of the story that they are developing, which starts with Civil War and ends with Infinity Wars, and how they don’t think audiences are really prepared for what this story arc will give fans:
“For us, we really are firm believers in stakes. We like movies with high highs and low lows and we just feel like you get a more well-rounded experience in that type of film. Now that we’re engaged in serialized storytelling, it starts with Winter Soldier and ends with the Infinity War movies. We feel it's very important that those four films, Civil War, and both Infinity War movies, have a very profound effect on the audience. I think a lot of shocking things are going to happen, which is really interesting because you haven't had this kind of... maybe other than Harry Potter, I guess you can count the Bond series… but the kind of investment over a period of time with this many characters behaving in a universe. I think our job is to send you on a very profound experience between now and 2019 and it starts with Civil War. I don't know if people will be prepared for what this movie is going to include.”
There have been spoilery rumors about some of the things we can expect from this movie. If you are interested in reading up on any of them here's a link to all of our Civil War coverage.
