Although we're all anxiously eager in anticipation for
Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron to come out and see Earth's Mightiest
Heroes go toe to toe with the villainous Ultron, and the Twins, we're also keen
in knowing what comes out of it, and where do the relationships between our
heroes go in light of the announced Phase 3 slate, which besides the highly
anticipated Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Inhumans films, also promises us
an exchange of ideologies and blows between Steve Rogers, and Tony Stark in
Captain America: Civil War.
Speaking to Empire, Robert Downey Jr. stated that
despite him also starring in Captain America: Civil War, it is still a Captain
America film.
"Ultimately it’s Steve’s story; it doesn’t say
‘Iron Man 4: Civil War’. I think that’s great too."
The actor went on to say that Chris
Evans will be diving deeper into Steve Rogers now that he is at peace with
being a man out of his time.
"I think Chris [Evans]
has been hungry to bring even more of an underside and some shadow to that. I
remember the comics – on the surface you got the sense that Cap was baseball
and apple pie, but underneath there was all this churning stuff of being a man
out of time. Now we know he’s made his peace with that. What’s the bigger
issue? It can have a little something to do with the past, but it can be about
someone becoming more modernised in their own conflict."
When asked if Tony will Civil War's villain, Downey Jr. replied by saying that things aren't that much black or white, and that Age of Ultron will influence Tony's decisions in the Captain America sequel.
"The clues are in Ultron about where we might find
[Stark] next, but what would it take for Tony to completely turn around
everything he’s stood for, quote-unquote, because he was the right-wing guy who
could still do his own thing. The idea of Tony being able to march into
Washington and say, ‘I’ll sign up’, wouldn’t have made sense if the political
climate in the real world hadn’t shifted the way it has. It’s a little bit of things
following a real world continuum in, ‘What would you do?’ You have to figure,
‘Were you to ask the question, what would the American government do if this
were real? Wouldn’t it be interesting to see Tony doing something you wouldn’t
imagine?’"
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo are expected to start
production this coming spring.
