With principal photography having wrapped a few weeks ago, there are no location shots from which to glean information about Captain America: Civil War, so the wider world has to rely on the actors talking about the movie. One such thesp is Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda "Scarlet Witch" Maximoff in the movie and sat down with French film magazine Premiere to talk about her upcoming films and let slip some details and opinions.
"I think it's going to be the best one," she says of the film in a video interview. "I am very excited to see it myself — I only worked on set for five weeks, so I wasn't there for the majority of it. Daniel Brühl is an incredible actor and he's playing the main villain in it, and he's incredible."
Yes, she did just confirm what we pretty much already knew, even if she didn’t use his yet-to-be-confirmed character name: Brühl’s Baron Zemo, a Hydra type usually found in the comics trying to make the world a better place through, er, establish a new Nazi regime, is the main threat in the movie. You know, aside from the disagreement over how much leeway to give superhero teams that sparks a clash between our heroes.
As for the tone of the thing? "Civil War" as a phrase doesn’t lend itself to sunshine and puppies, so you can expect more danger for the main characters. "It's a movie about people, as opposed to robots this time," Olsen continued. "So it's darker and it's allowed to be darker because it gets more in the mindset of humans rather than machines." Somewhere, Ultron is looking sad and muttering, “really? Low blow.”
