Martin Freeman (The Hobbit) is cast in the Avengers 2.5…we mean Captain America: Civil War which is coming next year. However we have no idea what kind of role he was going to handle up till now.
In an interview with Badtaste.it, he teases quite a bit about it . Here it is in verbatim:
“He works for the American government. He works in conjunction with the superheroes, and certain agencies that help to tame the superheroes’ power, I suppose. So you’re not quite sure which side he’s on. It looks a little bit like he’s playing one game when actually he’s playing another. It’s the kind of character I like because it’s ambiguous and because you don’t know whether he’s good or bad. I like that area that isn’t black or white, I like the grays, because I think there’s just more fun to be had in not playing one obvious line.”
So far, we know that the entire Avengers team save for Thor will be in the movie. Besides that, Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Frank Grillo as Crossbones, Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Daniel Bruhl (Baron Zemo), William Hurt (General Ross) and Emily VanCamp’s Agent 13 will show up in Civil War too.
The war is set to erupt between superheroes on 6 May 2016.
