Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan appeared at the Salt Lake Comic Con this weekend, and the three Marvel stars of course touched on Captain America: Civil War during their respective panels. As Captain America, Falcon, Bucky, the trio will all be on the same team in the movie as they wage war with Iron Man over the Superhuman Registration Act (which, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will seemingly be called the “Accords”).

“Tony actually thinks we should be signing these accords and reporting to somebody and Cap, who’s always been a company man and has always been a soldier, actually doesn’t trust anymore,” Evans explained when asked what causes the rift. “Given what happened in Cap 2, I think he kind of feels the safest hands are his own. And these are understandable concerns, but this is tough, because even reading the script, you think I think I agree with Tony in a way, and I do agree that to make this work, you do need to surrender to the group. It can’t just be one person saying this is right and this is what we’re going to do.”

However, don’t expect it to be that easy to choose who to side with, as Evans went on to emphasise that it’s a fairly even sided affair. “But Cap has his reasons, he certainly has his reasons, and he is a good man and his moral compass is probably the cleanest. This is a tough thing. This is what made it so interesting while we were filming, and it’s hopefully what will make the movie great is nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong. There’s no clear bad guy here. We both have a point of view, which is akin to most disagreements in life and politics.”

In the comic books, Bucky ends up becoming Captain America after the events of Civil War, while Falcon has recently taken over the mantle as well. Anthony Mackie however doesn’t want that to happen on the big screen. “I don’t think we need a new Cap. I don’t think Cap needs to change. I think [Bucky’s actor Sebastian Stan] would be a great Cap, but then we’re left without Bucky. I think I’d be a great Cap, but then we’re left without a Falcon.”

Sebastian Stan on the other hand feels differently, and actually seems pretty interested in taking over the role if the opportunity presents itself. “Myself. I’ll say this: They sure like to dangle a cheese in front of my nose a lot. They’re like ‘Oh yeah, that’s where you pick up the shield,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ve heard that one before. There it is again.’ But I don’t know. If I could say one thing, if anyone can have anything to do with it, to make it happen, is you.”

With Chris Evans signed up to star in Avengers: Infinity War and recently expressing an interest in continuing to play Captain America beyond that, chances are he won’t be replaced for a while yet, but we’ll just have to wait and see how things pan out in Civil War first…
