As ‘Captain America: Civil War’ begins shooting soon, Martin Freeman has joined the cast in an unnamed role…
Martin Freeman — best known for his roles in ‘Fargo’ as well as ‘Sherlock’ and ‘The Hobbit’ — has been cast in a new role in Marvel’s upcoming film ‘Captain America: Civil War’.
Freeman’s role is being kept under wraps for now, but filming for the upcoming movie will begin later this month with a release date set for May 6, 2016.
“From his roles as Bilbo Baggins and Doctor Watson to Tim in ‘The Office,’ Martin’s range from the dramatic to the comedic has consistently impressed us,” said “Captain America: Civil War” Producer Kevin Feige. “We couldn’t be more honored or excited to have such a talented actor join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
Freeman joins an already impressive cast that includes Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, as well as Robert Downey Jr. and the first Marvel appearance of Spider-Man, who is set to appear in the film although an actor to play the part hasn’t been chosen yet.
Chances are Freeman is not Spider-Man.
