Work blocked:

Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" has added another name to its growing cast with Martin Freeman, who will make his debut in the film.

"From his roles as Bilbo Baggins and Doctor Watson to Tim in 'The Office,' Martin's range from the dramatic to the comedic has consistently impressed us," said "Captain America: Civil War" Producer Kevin Feige. "We couldn't be more honored or excited to have such a talented actor join the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

Celebrated for his roles in "Sherlock," "Fargo," the “Hobbit” trilogy, and much more, Freeman has earned one Primetime Emmy® Award and one BAFTA Award, both for his portrayal of Doctor John Watson in "Sherlock." Martin has also been nominated for a Golden Globe® for his role of Lester Nygaard in “Fargo”, and nominated for a further two Emmy Awards and two BAFTA Awards. Most recently Martin has been seen hosting SNL and has filmed Tina Fey's untitled wartime black comedy.

"Captain America: Civil War" hits theaters May 6, 2016. Stay tuned to Marvel.com for the latest on all of Marvel Studios' upcoming films as it breaks.

**Frazzled**

Guest appearance as Wolverine? Dick Cavitt?

**reds8n**

http://marvel.wikia.com/Henry_Gyrich_%28Earth-616%29

or equivalent would be my guess.

**Do_I_Not_Like_That**

When I seen civil war in the title, I honestly thought this be an origin film, like Captain America fighting the confederates in 1861 or something

Instead, we get some super-hero punch up. Again! Boo

**Paradigm**

Well, we have Cumberbatch as Strange, so Freeman as Wong?

No, I'm guessing he'll be in a human (government or SHIELD) role rather than anyone powered/connected to anyone powered, simply as he's kind of made a name for himself with Sherlock/Hobbit as playing the 'ordinary guy' surrounded by lunatics and badasses!

What is very odd is that literally just yesterday I was remarking how surprised I was Freeman hadn't got an MCU role yet...

**Soladrin**

Still no she-hulk though...

**Do_I_Not_Like_That**

Could have been a great premise for historical, sci-fi film.

Captain America up against the south...

and then the Southern States reply with Captain Confederacy

Wouldn;t that still be another Super-hero punch up?

Silence you damn Yankee! You're ruining my film premise

**H.B.M.C.**

She-Hulk is better suited to the Daredevil show anyway...

Hadn't thought of that. That'd be pretty cool though.

As much as it makes no sense, I want him to play Wong.

**reds8n**

... what're the odds on him meeting Dr Strange then ...?

**nels1031**

Puck!

Thus ushering in a series of Canadian Super Hero flicks, culminating in a super polite team of Hero's who cordially invite Thanos to a parlay and hash things out over a few Canadian brews.

**Reaver83**

I see him as captain Britain - he was in the civil war story right....

**BobtheInquisitor**

Hopefully he plays someone who gets punched a lot.

I don't remember DareDevil being involve?!?!

It'd be interesting to see how they do her origin, given Banner's overwhelming concern for damage he can do. There'd also be some issues I think- major angst- if she shows up with basically all the upsides of being Hulk but none of the rage/control issues.

Even better!

Bring her on!

**Ahtman**

I'd be fine with She-hulk getting a film or being in a film.

**Dreadwinter**

I clicked that spoiler. It cannot be unseen!

**Haight**

Eh, this storyline happened in Avengers comics, and it's one of the better modern storylines IMHO (actually, it's probably top 3 total timeline stories for me where Avengers are concerned). It has potential to be an amazing movie, though feth me, I am not sure how they'll do it justice in one installment.

I disagree - I think it was one of the worst, most overwrought and drawn out storylines in recent comics history and ended with one of the dumbest deaths and resurrections ever.

On top of that, given the VERY limited slate of heroes in the Marvel Movie Universe, a movie version of CIVIL WAR is going to be really hard to pull off.

I don't know. We have plenty, for a film at least, but the problem I see is that most of them are on Team Cap.

Cap has, if we go by the comics and ones that have/will have films:
Falcon
Vision
Spidey (eventually)
Daredevil
Luke Cage
I'm guessing Black Panther
Witch

Stark has:
Pym (retired)
War Machine
Spidey (initially)
Ant-man (possibly)
Captain Marvel/Warbird (but possibly not in the film)

Hawkeye and Widow could go either way, Hulk is presumably out of the picture, and I'd be surprised to see them take the Thor-clone route. So unless they bring in some villains (Zemo's Thunderbolts, please!) Or Stark's 'enhanced' project for creating new heroes, it looks to be a pretty one sided fight.

**angelofvengeance**

The abridged version of civil war has the Thor clone with Adolf Hitler's brain in. Pretty fething hilarious. Go read it.

Is, supposedly, whom Freeman is playing.

Or some variant off.

.. I can see that.

Hope they somehow manage to do the whole bit with Mephisto, that bit was great.

Spoiler:

**hotsauceman1**

I would love to see them do that super hero for every county/STATE where the veterans are training rooky superheroes.

**Soladrin**

Freeman should play the Sentry.

Now that would be hilarious.

Actually, my brother suggested that (in jest) the other day. Freeman as the human Reynolds, and someone famed for 'ard nut roles as The Sentry.

That said, I'll possibly cry a little the day Marvel announces a Sentry film. I can't stand the character.

**hotsauceman1**

What if he is deadpool?

I only liked him in World War Hulk.

Also, I'm just going to start using this topic as a general MCU thread.

So, for those following Agents of Shield. Inhuman's are already getting screen time. We know they are getting their own movie in 2019. So this made me wonder..... Who the hell is going to land the role of Black Bolt? :3

Spoilerish thoughts about AoS including last episode:

Spoiler:

**Paradigm**

Aaargh, I keep forgetting you lot (as in the rest of the world) are about 3 weeks ahead on SHIELD! To be fair you did put it in spoiler tags, so it's my own fault.

Christopher Lee as Black Bolt; he won't say much, but it'll be awesome when he does! (Now Freeman has been cast, Lee and Mark Strong are the only people I really think need MCU roles. Still holding out hope the latter will be cast as Mordo)
