Alfre Woodard Pulls Double Duty At Marvel: Actress Role In Captain America: Civil War Revealed?


Yes, in addition to starring as the main antagonist in the upcoming Luke Cage television series, Alfre Woodard will also appear in Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, and no, not in the same role.

The casting was officially revealed just a few hours ago by an e-mail sent to the press, inviting them to cover the Los Angeles premiere of the much-anticipated movie. A similar situation happened with Julie Delpy and Linda Cardellini's appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

In Marvel's Luke Cage, Woodard plays Mariah Dillard, a powerful woman in local Harlem politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life. In Civil War however, (spoilers) Woodard has a small but impactful role in the beginning of the film playing the mother of an American citizen killed during the Battle of Skovia in Age of Ultron. Apparently, her character has an emotional confrontation with Tony Stark, who she blames for her son's death. The guilty genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist then supports the Sokovia Accords, which leads to the regulation of "enhanced individuals".

Due to timing, it is possible that Woodard was already onboard Civil War when Luke Cage showed up, but it is strange that the actress is in two Marvel Universe projects playing two distinct characters, or is it? The casting just shows how far apart Marvel Studios and Marvel Television have become now that Kevin Feige no longer reports to Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter.

Captain America: Civil War opens in theaters on May 6.
