The writers behind the Captain America: The Winter Soldier film were at the TCA event for Agent Carter, where they had written some of the early episodes and been involved with it, and Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely talked a bit about the upcoming Captain America: Civil War feature film as well. For fans of the comics, there are complications in bringing this to the screen because of character writers and so forth, but the writers are making progress on making it work. One of the things that came up was whether Scarlet Johansson would have a role in it considering she had a bigger one in the second film and is now also getting busier with other films.
“We’ve been preparing for the movie since the last one debuted last year. So, we’ve been working on it for a long time now. We’re very happy how it’s coming along. Captain America 3 is gonna be called Captain America: Civil War and it’s going to star Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson will be back, Winter Soldier [Sebastian Stan] will be back, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man will also be joining us in the next film.”
“It’s been on and off the table for a while, let’s put it that way, and it’s a challenge to do it and make sure that all the characters that we’ve established, and everyone’s established in the MCU are serviced and sound correct, right? Because there’s a difference between the characters in Civil War, which was written in 2006, 2007. The MCU doesn’t exist [when it was written]. There isn’t a Robert Downey Jr. or Chris Evans who has helped create the character so we need to make sure that that template gets adjusted and what have you in order to make sure it services these characters and not just sort of rip off their parts and make them look like them.”
The pair also talked about the tone of the film, saying, “Every Captain America movie has a genre and Civil War is the musical! No, I think part of the reason for bringing back us and bringing back the [Russo] brothers is because Marvel is very pleased with Winter Soldier aesthetically. I think it’s a really adult movie. It’s very well made and that’s partly the texture of the movie. You can argue it’s the most realistic of the Marvel movies, whatever that is to you. I think it’s fair to say that a Russo brothers movie will stay in that vein.”
Also of interest is how things play out between Steve and Tony in the film due to the now expanding back story in Agent Carter between Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter and Dominic Cooper’s Howard Stark:
“As we have not started shooting, and I’m on my fourth draft image: http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png of many, that question [of who Peggy was to Tony Stark] has been in and out all over the place so who knows. So many things can shake out but we’ve had conversations and we pitched scenes. Some stay and some don’t. But we saw [Peggy] in Winter Soldier, so we know she’s around.”
