Captain America: Civil War Adds Even More Actors to Its Cast
It must be getting crowded on the set of Captain America: Civil War.
Marvel announced Thursday that even more actors have been drafted into the third installment of Steve Rogers' saga.

New to the cast, as of the most recent announcement: Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.
Also included: basically the entire cast of Age of Ultron. (But not everyone! See further down for our thoughts on who's missing.) Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, and Elizabeth Olsen will all be showing up for the fight.
Earlier in the week, it was announced that Martin Freeman would be joining in an unnamed role. Thursday's cast list also includes actor Daniel Bruhl, who is unnamed in the press release, though he confirmed to Entertainment Weekly last month that he'll be Baron Zemo, the son of a HYDRA scientist.
Some of Captain America's newer friends will also be there for what's shaping up to be a not-so-civil war: Reprising his role in the first two Cap movies, Sebastian Stan will return as The Winter Soldier a.k.a zombie Bucky Barnes. Emily VanCamp will return as Agent 13 -- the one who was Steve Rogers' friendly neighbor (but also secretly a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent) in Winter Soldier. And Frank Grillo will be back as Brock Rumlow, who we last saw getting burned in a helicarrier crash at the end of Winter Soldier.
And from another corner of the Marvel universe, William Hurt will be returning as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the father of Elizabeth Ross, from 2008's The Incredible Hulk.
Which brings us to the most interesting part of this announcement: Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and whoever is going to play Spider-man are all notably absent from the list. The only Marvel movie coming out between now and Civil War is Ant-Man. Is something going to happen to Thor or the Hulk?
