After recently re-watching Captain America: Civil War on a cross-country flight, I gotta admit I’m ready for a little bit more screen time for Martin Freeman’s character. Sure, it’s always good to see the Fargo and Sherlock star show up in a fun supporting role, but with Marvel’s penchant for introducing characters at the periphery of films before ramping up their involvement in the franchise, it felt like Freeman’s performance was just a taste of what he could do in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And thanks to recent rumors from the Black Panther set, it looks like I may get my wish sooner rather than later.

There were a lot of Captain America: Civil War fans who were waiting for another full trailer after the Super Bowl 50 commercial. That trailer has yet to arrive, but Empire Magazine has just debuted the cover for their Captain America: Civil War issue, which features a pretty rad new image of Cap and Iron Man going face-to-face...

Although the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War showed off Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther, there were a few key players missing: Daniel Bruhl’s villainous Baron Zemo, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Martin Freeman’s mysterious new character. We know next to nothing about Freeman’s role in Civil War, aside from hints that it’s government related. But according to Marvel head Kevin Feige, Freeman’s part is much bigger than previously assumed.

We know quite a bit about who’s who in Captain America: Civil War, which might as well be titled Avengers 2.5 for all the MCU players it features. But there’s one cast member we know absolutely nothing about: Martin Freeman, whose fictional identity has remained top secret since his casting was announced a few months ago. In a new interview, Freeman himself lifts the veil of secrecy just a little to tell us what we can expect from his mystery character.

Marvel has announced that British actor Martin Freeman has been cast in next year's stealth Avengers movie, Captain America: Civil War, in an unspecified role. So who might Freeman play? We have some ideas, and we're going to let you decide. Unfortunately your decision is not binding.
