Captain America
The comics Cap is also pretty different to the cinematic version. He’s been thawed out for far longer than Chris Evans, has worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury for quite some time and when his particular flavour of patriotism hasn’t jived with the government of the day, he has, at times, relinquished his shield and fought crime under a different identity, something that Evans has yet to do, despite his time on the run in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Steve Rogers comes out against the SRA mostly because he sees it risking the identities and thus lives of people who lay their lives on the line every day, as well as their loved ones. That heroes need to be independent of the government as there are times when they have to take up fights that no one else will and he fears a time when the government will start dictating who the villains are.
As stated earlier previously, while Civil war the movie might use some of this it looks increasingly likely that things get personal between Steve and Tony and Bucky and that drives the story far more than the politics.
The presence of Emily Van Camp’s agent 13 in the cast list also hints towards an intriguing possibility, will the movie follow the comics and have romance blossom between the two former agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Unfortunately Cobie Smulder’s agent Maria Hill has been conspicuously absent from marketing material. While her role in the films is less brash and argumentative than the comics, it would be a shame not to see her main contribution to one of the greatest images of the Civil War: Captain America Surfing a jet fighter as he escapes a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier after she goads in about the act!
As to where both version of Cap end up at the end of Civil War… well we’ll get to that later
