Marvel Update: "Captain America: Civil War" include another character

With "Captain America: Civil War" already packed with superheroes, villains and other characters, thinking it's enough already is not how Marvel Cinematic Universe sees it. Marvel added Leslie Bibb, who will reprise the role of "Iron Man" character Christine Everheart, according to the report of Cinemablend.

Two days ago, Bibb posted a picture in her Instagram account in the make-up room of the movie in Atlanta, Georgia with the caption: "everheart...fun day at work today... #marvel."

Her role will be a reporter for the Daily Bugle, but her occupation was changed to Vanity Fair reporter for the MCU because, at the time, Marvel didn't have access to Peter Parker's famed employer, as mentioned in Flickering Myth.

Comicbook added that she also appeared in "Iron Man" (2008). In the film, she interviewed Stark and slept with him. She later was booted by an angry Pepper Potts after she informed Stark of the Ten Rings. She was also able to sniff out Stark's superhero identity.

4ye also added that as the in-universe reporter for "Vanity Fair", Everhart also had a cameo in "Iron Man 2" (2010). In the film, she interviewed Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). She then stopped the interview when not she was not getting Stark's attention.

As cited in the Cinemablend article, "Captain America: Civil War" will see the heroes of the MCU divided with the introduction of the Superhuman Registration Act. Much like in the comics, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) will be pro-Registration and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) will be anti registraton. On top of this divide, Rogers searches for his best friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), who is still trying to piece together his memory following the destruction of his HYDRA masters at the end of "The Winter Soldier".

Leslie Bibb won the nationwide modelling search sponsored by "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Elite Agency." It gave way to modeling jobs in Japan and Europe and appearances in various magazines and commercials. She also appeared in "Private Parts (1997)", "The Big Easy (1996)", "Popular (1999)" and many other shows, as published in TV.com.

"Captain America: Civil War" will be in theaters on May 6, 2016.
