Possible New Details of Martin Freeman's CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Character

We all know that Captain America: Civil War is going to be packed with familiar faces, but The Hobbit and Sherlock star Martin Freeman will appear as a new addition to the MCU. His character is still shrouded in mystery, and though we heard some details about who he may be playing, Latino-Review's source just dropped a new rumor that, if true, would connect him to a scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron. (Potential spoilers ahead, so beware.)

Keep in mind this is still an unconfirmed rumor, but the outlet says that Freeman will play a character named Edward Chase, the MCU's Prime Minister of England. A battle "goes south" at the beginning of the film involving Captain America's new Avengers team and some British soldiers, prompting Chase to put pressure on the government to push for regulation of superheroes.

So what's the Ultron connection? Well, there's a scene in that movie in which Andy Serkis' Ulysses Klaw is on the phone in the tanker in Wakanda and he says, "Now Minister, where were we?" The speculation is that he could have been talking to Freeman's character "to collect Vibranium to make weapons that the English can use to combat the increasing number of people with superpowers throughout the world." That also leads to more speculation that Klaw may have a cameo appearance in Civil War, which would be yet another actor added to an already immense cast.

We'll see how this all pans out, but it sounds very plausible to me from a story perspective. What do you all think?
