'Captain America: Civil War' Trailer, Cast & Teams: Is This The Movie's Major Conflict? [Spoilers]
Chris Evans shows uncertainty in choosing which side he would personally be on in the upcoming film "Captain America: Civil War" while revealing some major movie plot conflict.
According to a report from Good Morning America on Yahoo!, the actor revealed his personal opinion as well as some key points and conflicts in the upcoming Captain America 'solo' movie "Civil War" during the Salt Lake City Comic-Con.
It all started after the band of superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe left so much destruction in a battle against the artificial intelligence of Ultron as shown in the 2015 film "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
While they are grateful for the heroes defeating the non-human villain, there is still the matter of massive devastation to the city not to mention innocent lives lost after getting caught up in the battle.
This led to officials to passing a law that requires every hero to sign accords as well as register their powers to the authorities so that the government would able to monitor every superhero activity in the country.
This, Evans told the panel at the Comic-Con, was something his character Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America and Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark did not agree on.
"Tony [Iron Man] actually thinks we should be signing these accords and reporting to somebody and Cap, who's always been a company man and has always been a soldier, actually doesn't trust anymore," The Salt Lake Tribune quoted the actor saying.
According to GMA on Yahoo, the Captain had trust issues since "The Winter Soldier" after witnessing how Hydra was able to infiltrate the government and even S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avenger's mother organization.
This, says Evans, may also be one reason why the Captain refuses to bow down to the government's wishes and only trusts that the safest way to ensure that a hero's secret identity is not compromised is to keep it to themselves.
However, after reading the script, the 34-year-old actor admitted that it was difficult not to see the soundness in Tony Stark's reasoning.
"I think I agree with Tony in a way and I do agree that to make this work, you do need to surrender to the group.' It can't just be one person saying this is right and this is what we're going to do," he explained, adding that he still sees Captain Rogers as a "good man" who has "probably the cleanest moral compass."
The "Civil War," which is the third film revolving around Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America, is set to hit the theaters on May 6, 2016.
