Jeremy Renner Reveals New Captain America: Civil War Concept Art

Pick a side!

Having seen the sizzle reel footage from Captain America: Civil War at Disney’s D23 event, we’re happy to learn a little more about who might be taking what side for the big new Marvel outing. Helpfully, here comes Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner posting concept art to his Twitter account. Don’t read any further if you’re trying to avoid any spoilers, but otherwise, here we go…

The film, of course, finds Steve “Captain America” Rogers (Chris Evans) and Tony “Iron Man” Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) having a fundamental disagreement on how the government should interact with superheroes. Do they need more supervision? Are there new regulations that could be put in place? Tony, burned by experiences with Ultron, thinks there should. Steve’s not so sure. And thus the lines are drawn. 

From the art below, we can see that Tony's side boasts War Machine (James Rhodes, played by Don Cheadle), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanov), Black Panther (AKA T'Challa, in the shape of Chadwick Boseman) and Vision (Paul Bettany), who would surely guarantee victory in any squabble, unless you appeal to his hopeful nature. Rogers rounds up Hawkeye (Renner, posing with Paul Rudd’s Scott “Ant-Man” Lang on his shoulder), Emily VanCamp’s Sharon Carter, Anthony Mackie’s Sam “Falcon” Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s James Bucky Barnes, in full Winter Soldier Regalia. Not featured? Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlett Witch, Wanda Maximoff, though she was among the gang seen with Cap in the footage, so we’ll assume for now she’s Team Steve.
