Marvel Studios has also not yet announced a release date or a filming start date for the film.ġ. The screenplay was written by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, both of whom also worked on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

The premise of Captain America 4 is not yet known, including which villains might be featured or which previous MCU characters might show up (including Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier). In addition to being the third film in the Cloverfield franchise, The Cloverfield Paradox also made quite the splash in early 2019 when it debuted online immediately after the Super Bowl, the same night its trailer first debuted, in a surprise move from Netflix. The job of directing Captain America 4 has gone to Nigerian-born filmmaker Julius Onah, whose highest profile project to date was Netflix’s The Cloverfield Paradox (Rotten at 21%).

The movie business does, however, move notoriously slowly, so it’s not surprising at all that it has taken a year for Marvel Studios to get to the next stage of development, which is the hiring of a director.

Soon after the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Fresh at 83%) streamed its final episode last year, the news broke that Marvel Studios was indeed developing Captain America 4 to feature Anthony Mackie in his character’s new role as Captain America.

Not a whiff of Thanos, or any more of those forgettable Marvel sub-baddies with ‘The’ for a middle name. Yet there is no Loki or Ultron (or, for that matter, Lex Luthor) equivalent this time. Too often, the snappy writing and slick action in these films is undermined by flimsy big bads and formulaic final acts.

And this is the second way Civil War earns our ‘Greatest Marvel Yet’ accolade: by rising above the series’ greatest weakness.

It’s even bolder that the conflict at the film’s heart doesn’t pander to genre convention and become sidetracked by a grandstanding supervillain plot. Who the audience should agree with is hardly a clear-cut matter. It’s fair enough that he should be brought to heel, right? Then again, there are flaws in Tony’s arguments, too, especially the problematic evidence on which he rests them. If the Avengers don’t answer to the UN, who should they answer to? And Steve’s defence of Bucky is questionable: he may be his childhood friend, but now he’s a lethal, robot-armed killing machine forever in danger of being reactivated. It’s bold of writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to place their title hero in the most obviously dubious position. But stubborn Steve, distrustful of the post-war world’s version of ‘authority’, refuses to sign on the dotted line. Wracked with guilt over his Ultron faux-pas, Tony Stark’s all for it, and Robert Downey Jr burdens the still occasionally glib hero with a weight-of-the-world weariness that is well matched by his own MCU mileage. So US Secretary Of State William Ross (reappearing for the first time since he was just a monster-chasing General in The Incredible Hulk) presents the Sokovia Accord, signed by 117 countries, which states the Avengers should be answerable to the United Nations. In a similar way that Zack Snyder’s DC-world reacted to Superman’s ascension and the emergence of its “metahumans” - though here it is more lightly and elegantly handled - the world of the Avengers has had enough of these “enhanced” agents wreaking collateral havoc and decided, not unreasonably, to bring them to account.
