Back in May, when Martin Freeman was cast in Captain America: Civil War, the main question on everyone's mind was "who is he playing?" Well, during an interview with BadTaste, Freeman spoke a bit more about his role in the 2016 film.
He works for the American government. He works in conjunction with the superheroes and certain agencies that help to tame the superheroes’ power, I suppose. So you’re not quite sure which side he’s on. It looks a little bit like he’s playing one game when actually he’s playing another. It’s the kind of character I like because it’s ambiguous and because you don’t know whether he’s good or bad. I like that area that isn’t black or white, I like the grays, because I think there’s just more fun to be had in not playing one obvious line.
Back in May, we posed the idea that Freeman could be playing Henry Gyrich, a politician who has worked with superheroes and against them. This character could easily be adapted to someone who plays both sides during the film. So, after everything Freeman recently said, Gyrich is still a possibility for Freeman.
Who do you think he's playing?
