Captain America: Civil War adds another cast member with Martin Freeman, but no information has been revealed about the character that he’ll be essaying.
“From his roles as Bilbo Baggins and Doctor Watson to Tim in ‘The Office,’ Martin’s range from the dramatic to the comedic has consistently impressed us,” said Captain America: Civil War Producer Kevin Feige. “We couldn’t be more honored or excited to have such a talented actor join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
The movie, which transitions from the latest Avengers: Age of Ultron, is based on a seven-part comic series from Mark Millar that pits Captain against one of his closest allies, Iron Man.
Recently in an interaction with MTV, Chris Evans revealed that the next Avengers: The Infinity Wars will take forward the story from the Captain America: Civil War.
Celebrated for his roles in Sherlock, Fargo, the Hobbit trilogy, and much more, Martin has earned one Primetime Emmy Award and one BAFTA Award, both for his portrayal of Doctor John Watson in Sherlock. Martin has also been nominated for a Golden Globe for his role of Lester Nygaard in Fargo, and nominated for a further two Emmy Awards and two BAFTA Awards.
Captain America: Civil War hits theaters 6 May 2016.
