Martin Freeman's role revealed and new Captain America: Civil War photos launched

The Hobbit trilogy's Bilbo Baggins and Sherlock's Dr. John Watson - Martin Freeman - is set to make his  Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Captain America: Civil War. We have known this for quite a while now, but what we didn't know is the name of his character. But now we know that, too!

Empire confirms that the 44-year-old actor is playing Everett Ross in the May 6, 2016 release! No relation to William Hurt's Thunderbolt Ross, he is a part of an organization named the Joint Counter Terrorist Center.

Haven’t we heard that somewhere before? Of course we have! An initial rumor did suggest that Martin Freeman was playing Everett Ross in Captain America: Civil War. However, we came across a number of rumors later indicating that the English actor would be playing other, different characters, so we weren't 100 percent sure about anything.

In the comic books, Everett Ross first appeared in 1998, and is traditionally a US government stalwart in Wakanda. So, there's ample possibility of seeing him play a broader role in the Black Panther standalone movie scheduled for 2018 release. But MCU has the reputation of moving away from characters’ origins. So, we can’t be sure about this, either.

New Captain America: Civil War covers and photos launched!

The magazine's website has also released two Captain America: Civil War covers and a bunch of photos from the movie that are featured in their latest issue. One of the photos features Chris Evans' Captain America standing face to face with Robert Downey, Jr.'s Iron Man.

One photo provides our official first look at Frank Grillo's Crossbones in the suit. Another one offers a new look at Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch.

And there's one more new photo that features Martin Freeman's Everett Ross and Emily VanCam p's Sharon Carter. In the photo, we see a German SWAT team backing them. Check out the covers and photos below.
