‘Sherlock’ star Martin Freeman has dished out some details on his character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but hasn’t yet revealed a name for him.



Freeman will make his debut in 'Captain America: Civil War’ next year as someone who “works for the American government”.

“He works in conjunction with the superheroes, and certain agencies that help to tame the superheroes’ power,” said Freeman, talking to BadTaste.It at the Giffoni Film Festival.

“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.”

His description vaugely fits with reports that he’ll play comic book character Everett Ross - a government liaison who becomes a friend of Black Panther and an expert on African nation Wakanda - the country Black Panther rules. Panther will also debut in the film, played by Chadwick Boseman.

However, him working to “tame superheroes” may cast some doubt on that.

“It’s the kind of character I like because it’s ambiguous and because you don’t know whether he’s good or bad,” continued Freeman. “I like that area that isn’t black or white. I like the grays, because I think there’s just more fun to be had in not playing one obvious line, I like that.”

'Captain America: Civil War’ stars Chris Evans as Cap, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man and every major superhero in the MCU so far except Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film will be released on 29 April 2016.
