New details related to Martin Freeman's secret role in "Captain America: Civil War" have emerged. The actor hinted at what kind of character he'd play in the upcoming film during a chat with Italia's BadTaste.It.
"He works for the American government. He works in conjunction with the superheroes, and certain agencies that help to tame the superheroes' power, I suppose," Freeman said. "So you're not quite sure which side he's on. It looks a little bit like he's playing one game when actually he's playing another."
Without giving specific name, he described his character as "ambiguous." He explained, "It's the kind of character I like because it's ambiguous and because you don't know whether he's good or bad. I like that area that isn't black or white, I like the grays, because I think there's just more fun to be had in not playing one obvious line."
"Captain America: Civil War" is opening in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2016. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the film also stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen among others.
