‘Captain America: Civil War’ – Martin Freeman Teases His ‘Ambiguous’ Role

Martin Freeman

In an interview with Bad Taste.it, Freeman shared some new details about his mysterious role in ‘Captain America: Civil War’: 

“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.”

According to Latino Review, Freeman will play some sort of interrogator and will also return in the ‘Black Panther.’ The rumors are that Freeman will play Everett Ross, a US Government agent assigned to Wakanda who grows to become sort of a Wakandan expert. 

Fans also speculate that Martin could be playing a brand new character created for the movie, or a version of Henry Peter Gyrich (a character owned by Fox), government liaison to the Avengers by the NSA later by the National Security Council.
