Ant-Man appearing in ‘Captain America 3’

We know that Captain America: Civil War will feature quite a bit of Marvel heroes, including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).

Returning characters from the last film will also make an appearance in the form of The Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).

Now the list has gotten even bigger as Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man will star in the film as well as a horde of other well-known characters.

Disney announced the full Captain America: Civil War cast in a press release, so here’s who we’ll in the film.

Besides Rudd’s Ant-Man, the film will also star The Vision (Paul Bettany), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt) – one of the antagonists from The Incredible Hulk.

The press release also revealed the film’s synopsis which reads:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

By the sounds of it, Captain America: Civil War is shaping up to be an Avengers-styled film and much bigger than originally anticipated.

Captain America: Civil War hits SA cinemas in April 2016.
