Sebastian Stan Talks About The "Brutal" Fights in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

Captain America: Civil War is the next Marvel Studios film on the schedule, and I think it's fair to say this is the most anticipated film of theirs since the first Avengers. There's a lot of hype and a lot of expectation to live up to, and with one of the stars saying that it's even darker than Age of Ultron, it sounds like the filmmakers are not messing around with this one. 

In a new interview with We Got This Covered, actor Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier in the film franchise, was asked whether or not he'd like to eventually take over the role of Captain America in the movies like his character does in the comics. At first he responds sarcastically, but then basically says it's not up to him:

“No, I really wouldn’t, let me tell you, I think about that every day. It’s so not up to me, and to be honest I really enjoy my job over there, I’m really happy going to work and doing what I do. I love the character that I have. It’s up to a lot of different things, and whatever Marvel decides, I’m game.”

Kevin Feige has shown that he's not afraid to deviate from the source material and tweak the stories to make them work better as films, so it's really tough to say how closely he's going to hew to that particular storyline for the comics. For what it's worth, Chris Evans doesn't sound like he's ready to hang up the shield quite yet.

Stan also mentioned what we could expect to see in Civil War:

“Some brutal fighting, some serious, serious fighting like you haven’t really seen before in any of the other films. Which I’m really proud to say. And a whole lot of character and heart, because there’s a lot of people that are in the film, but you’re going to get a lot of character from everybody.”

Not having read the script, one of my biggest concerns heading into the movie as a fan is that there are an awful lot of characters in it, but if Stan is to be believed, it sounds like the writers may have figured out how to maximize the screen time of each of those characters. We'll find out when Captain America: Civil War blasts into theaters on May 6th, 2016.
