Black Widow's Return in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Confirmed
The last couple of days have been filled with all kinds of news that involves Captain America: Civil War. You can read a bunch of spoiler-filled rumors here, and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely talked a little bit about the movie as well, which you can read up on here. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have jumped into the fun, and while speaking at a press event in Beijing with Sina.com (via CBM), the pair confirmed that Scarlett Johansson will return as Black Widow in the film.
“We've been preparing for the movie since the one debuted last year,” Anthony said. “So, we've been working on it for a long time now. We’re very happy how it’s coming along. Captain America 3 is gonna be called Captain America: Civil War and it’s going to star Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson will be back, Winter Soldier will be back, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man will also be joining us in the next film.”
It seems like Civil War is going to include many of the Avengers in, as it should! So far, some of the other characters it includes are Anthony Mackie as The Falcon, Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Daniel Bruhl in a mystery role, Frank Grillo as Crossbones, and maybe Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye. There's always the chance they could include even more.
Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6th, 2016.
