Chris Evans has brought Marvel superhero Captain America/ Steve Rogers to life but as the actor's six-movie contract nears expiration, fans are wondering who the good Captain will entrust his shield to.
Evans, 33, has admitted a desire to take on a behind-the-scenes role and without any indication if he's interested in renewing his contract, all six films of the actor have been confirmed and lined up.
To date, the Inquisitr notes Evans has appeared in "Captain America: The First Avenger", "The Avengers", "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and the upcoming films, "Avengers: Age Of Ultron", "Captain America: Civil War", and "Avengers: Infinity War" - Parts 1 & 2. Evans also appeared in a cameo for 2013's "Thor: The Dark World."
Mackie's character, Falcon, is being tipped by many to be the successor for the Captain America role and during a recent interview, quoted by Screen Rant, Mackie teases about getting the shield from the Cap.
"Well, you know there are many incarnations in the comic book, and we are now going into the Civil War. So, if you look at it in the comic book, Cap gives Bucky the shield, Bucky gives it back to Cap, Cap gives it to me... Then Bucky goes off and marries Black Widow, so I keep the shield, give it back to Cap, and recently Cap wanted to be old, so he gave me the shield back and now I got the shield; I'm not giving it back."
While these comments are far from official, we definitely get a taste of Falcon's interest and well, since there's no flat out denial, there's always room for the possibility.
Relatedly, Mackie also shares some other teasers related to the upcoming film. Recalling how wrecked Falcon's suit was following the destruction that happened on "The Winter Soldier," many are wondering what will happen to Falcon's wings.
Speaking to Hollywood Chicago, via Cinema Blend, Mackie says he's coming back bigger and better. "The new Falcon suit is gonna be much better than the old Falcon suit. ... You gotta rebuild," teased the actor.
With no official plot summary or trailer having been released, the comic book centers on the division of perspectives with regards to the Superhuman Registration Act. Empire Online shares that Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Steve Rogers (Captain America) disagree on privacy, registration and restriction. The heroes will be divided as disagreements and differences in opinion arise.
It's expected the films won't adopt the exact same plot but will delve into the issue of registration and secret identities.
See how the story of "Captain America: Civil War" unfolds when the film hits theaters May 6, 2016.
