Martin Freeman Teases Role in Next Captain America

Sherlock star Martin Freeman has provided a teaser for his character for the upcoming Marvel flick, Captain America: Civil War. Martin is known for his role as Dr. John Watson in the Sherlock series and as Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit trilogy. ‘Civil War’ will take place after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Describing his character in an interview with BadTaste.It, Martin said, “He works for the American government. He works in conjunction with the superheroes, and certain agencies that help to tame the superheroes’ power, I suppose. So you’re not quite sure which side he’s on. It looks a little bit like he’s playing one game when actually he’s playing another. It’s the kind of character I like because it’s ambiguous and because you don’t know whether he’s good or bad. I like that area that isn’t black or white, I like the grays, because I think there’s just more fun to be had in not playing one obvious line”.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Captain America: Civil War will be released on May 6, 2016. Chris Evans will be returning as Captain America along with Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) will also be present in the movie.
