Sherlock star Martin Freeman has revealed some new details about his character in Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), the movie is filming now in Atlanta, Georgia and features the return of Chris Evans as Captain America alongside Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark.

The third Captain American movie is also expected to introduce Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man.

MINOR SPOILER WARNING

Freeman told Bad Taste: “[My character] works for the American government.”

He teased: “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.”

The Hobbit actor commented: “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 greys, because I think there’s just more fun to be had in not playing one obvious line.”

Captain America: Civil War will be released in UK cinemas in April 2016.
