"Captain America: Civil War" is still in production with the actual release a year away, but fans are already getting a taste of what the film looks like as well as some key scenes that will happen in the film. Several tweets and leaked images from production have made their way across social media, showing some upgrades for the main characters' costumes and technology.
Joblo.com has published an article containing several details on "Captain America: Civil War", starting off with confirming how the character of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) enters the Marvel Universe. The article confirms that Black Panther will be in pursuit of Sebastian Stan's character, The Winter Soldier. Black Panther's costume will have elements made of vibranium, the metal that Captain America's shield is made up of. The site also confirms that at some point during the movie, Captain America and Black Panther will get into a confrontation, and that Panther will be able to damage the Captain's shield.
Costume upgrades and revisions are also in the cards for some of the existing members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to appear in "Civil War." Scott Lang, or Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), will wear a new costume different from the one wears for the "Ant-Man" movie. He will also be able to take on the Giant-Man form, which towers over nearly 20 feet in height. War Machine (Don Cheadle) will gain a huge armament upgrade and will become more tank-like, and Captain America himself (Chris Evans) will finally wear a scale-mail style armor similar to what the character wore for several years in the comics.
Anthony Mackie's Falcon character will get both a costume and a equipment upgrade. While his character in the comics is known to have a bird linked to him through psychic means, the movie version of the character will have a robotic drone that launches from his arm. He will also have a touch more red to his costume, in contrast to the military-themed suit that he wore for "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
Finally, some leaked production photos from the Atlanta, GA set of "Civil War" published by the New York Daiy News show Captain America in a fight with the mercenary Crossbones (Frank Grillo) who was left nearly dead at the end of "Winter Soldier". In addition, Comicbookmovie.com published photos of the characters of Captain America, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) filming in an African market set, which seems to confirm that the Avengers will be dealing with the aftermath of the brawl between Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) in "Age of Ultron".
"Captain America: Civil War" arrives in theaters in May 2016.
