Alfre Woodard and Jim Rash will appear in the highly-anticipated "Captain America: Civil War". On Tuesday, April 5, Marvel/Disney issued a press release for the premiere event in Hollywood with Alfre and Jim's names on the list of the cast who will attend the event.

Jim has a fairly strong history with Russo Brothers by working together on NBC's "Community", so it's likely he will make a guest appearance just like his fellow "Community" alum Danny Pudi, who made a surprise appearance in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".

While fans are wondering if "Civil War" will be the first Marvel film to crossover with one of Netflix shows as Alfre, who stars on "Luke Cage", will appear in the movie, sources tell ScreenCrush that the actress won't play Mariah Dillard in "Civil War", which means that there will likely be no "Luke Cage" tie-in.

According to the site, Alfre "has a small, but pivotal role in the beginning of the film. She'll be playing the mother of an American citizen who was killed during the Battle of Sokovia in Age of Ultron. Her character has a confrontation with Tony Stark where she lays both guilt and blame at him for the death of her son. It's this encounter that convinces Tony to back the Sokovia Accords that would regulate The Avengers and other 'enhanced individuals.' "

As "Civil War" wrapped filming in August 2015, it would seem that Alfre was first cast in the third installment of "Captain America" film series before being cast in "Luke Cage".

"Captain America: Civil War" is set to hit U.S. theaters on May 6.
