'Captain America' New Movie News, Spoilers: Writers Talk Black Panther in Upcoming 'Civil War' Film

An interview at TCA with the writers for "Captain America" has been released, spilling all the juicy details of the newest film projects.

"Captain America" screenwriters, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely touched on the upcoming "Civil War" movie, Marvel's Black Panther character, and some news on where they plan on going next.

McFeely starts with how the "Civil War" story line came about:

"It's been on and off the table for a while, let's put it that way. And it's a challenge to do it and make sure that all the characters that we've established, and everyone's established in the MCU are serviced and sound correct, right? Because there's a difference between the characters in Civil War, which was written in 2006, 2007. The MCU doesn't exist [when it was written]."

Adding, "There isn't a Robert Downey Jr. or Chris Evans who has helped create the character so we need to make sure that that template gets adjusted and what have you in order to make sure it services these characters and not just sort of rip off their parts and make them look like them."

The "Civil War" movie faces a big responsibility as it is tasked with introducing and representing some new characters into the MCU, and also keeping up and playing to how the characters have already been set up.

McFeely goes on to his first reaction upon reading the "Civil War" comic:

"There's a depth of myth [to the Civil War storyline]. People asked this earlier at our other panel, why now? Why are comic books so prevalent? Why are these movies doing so well? In some ways, we've become a genre that you can do well now given the world of computers and perhaps it's also just a time in the sun. You went to the movies in the 50's and 60's you went to a western. So at this point, you're going to a superhero movie. It's taking over that same black hat, white hat myth-making surface. I don't have a much smarter answer than that."

McFeely also dropped a comment on the Black Panther character:

"I'll keep that one close to the vest, but I'm very gratified that they went with Chadwick and that he said yes because he's a good get."

"Captain America: Civil War" is set for release on May 6th, 2016.
