Jim Rash
and Alfre Woodard are in Captain America: Civil War! Does the addition of the
latter mean a Marvel Netflix series crossover?
As Captain America: Civil War prepares for its Hollywood
premiere next Tuesday, April 12, Walt Disney Pictures has revealed that two
additional actors are part of the film’s cast. Both Jim Rash (Community, The
Way, Way Back) and Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives, True Blood) are listed
on the studio’s premiere announcement. While there are no details yet available
as to the extent of their respective roles, the addition of Woodard is of
particular interest to fans of the Marvel Netflix series. After all, it was
revealed last year that Woodard will be playing Mariah Dillard on the upcomingMarvel Netflix series, Luke Cage.
Dillard, a local Harlem politician (and cousin to Mahershala
Ali’s Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes) is, in Luke Cage, looking to bring a new
era of change to the streets she grew up on. Her personal life and professional
career are thrown into turmoil by both Harlem’s newest hero Luke Cage as well
as her cousin’s nefarious acts. Then again, Woodard may be playing a different
character altogether in Civil War and we’ll have to wait a bit longer before we
see more back and forth between the movies and the Marvel Netflix shows.
As for who Jim Rash might be playing, only time will tell.
Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo are Community veterans, though, and
previously cast star Danny Pudi for a quick but memorable role as a SHIELD
agent in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Civil War is set to feature the return of Chris Evans as
Steve Rogers / Captain America, this time joined by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony
Stark / Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Anthony
Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet
Witch, Paul Bettany as The Vision, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye and
Don Cheadle as Jim Rhodes/War Machine. Sebastian Stan will also be back as
Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier alongside Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black
Panther, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter / Agent 13, Daniel Brühl as Baron
Helmut Zemo, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow / Crossbones, William Hurt as General
Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man, and Tom Holland
as Peter Parker / Spider-Man.
