The cast list includes many, many characters and although we describe the movie as Avengers 2.5 it will very much be a Captain America movie and sequel to the excellent Winter Solder. Sebastian Stan is returning as Bucky Barnes which will be his 3rd appearance in the MCU. With still another six movies in his contract we still think he will eventually take over as Captain America. As many will know Captain America dies in the comic of Civil War at the hands of Crossbones. It's hard to imagine Cap wll die in this movie but maybe in the Infinity War movies. Whatever happens in these movies there is always a chance of retconning especially with the Infinity Stones playing a part and particularly the time stone.

Interestingly we find William Hurt returning as General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross. It is possible that he will become Red Hulk in this movie but with the obvious Mark Ruffalo shaped hole in the cast list it's hard to imagine. Nothing is beyond possible in these movies and we could find Hulk returning to fight Red Hulk. This movie will be the first fr Black Panther - Wakanda was introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron so we have kind of been given an intro into his world.

Martin Freemans character is shrouded in mystery. Some have speculated that he will be playing the British Prime Minister - Edward Chase and was introduced in Age of Ultron - remember the scene with Ulysses Klaue (played by Andy Serkis) speaking on the phone and uttering the words "now minister, where were we?"
