'Captain America: Civil War' Casting Rumors: Details on Martin Freeman Role Leaked?
Another rumor dropped on details of Martin Freeman's character now linking him to a scene from 'Avengers: Age of Ultron.'
While Freeman was previously believed to be playing an interrogator character in the upcoming 'Captain America: Civil War,' it is now said that he will in fact be playing the Prime Minister of England.
Latino-Review reports:
"The hot rumor that we've been hearing (this is unconfirmed because NO ONE wants to confirm this at the moment) is that Martin Freeman is playing a character named Edward Chase, the Prime Minister of England in the MCU. Whatever mission goes south for Captain America's Avengers at the beginning of the movie will involve a number of British soldiers, so Chase (Freeman) will be responsible for upping the pressure on the government side, even though it is an international government body. Chase will be arguing for a better world-wide plan to keep The Avengers in check."
Andy Serkis' character, Ulysses Claw held a scene in where he was speaking with the rumored Freeman character on the phone. He's heard saying, "now, Minister, where were we?"
This would lead fans to believe that Serkis may be back to reprise his role in the upcoming 'Civil War' film.
"The connection between Martin's Prime Minister and Klaw in Avengers: Age of Ultron could be a potential cameo for Andy Serkis, either in flashback or in the process of becoming Black Panther villain Klaw now that his hand has been chopped off. Although with so many Avengers and now a third villain to contend with, Captain America is still in danger of being crowded out of his own movie," writes Latino-Review.
