Captain America: Civil War - 12 Subtle Trailer Details You Missed

3. Martin Freeman (AND Sharon Carter)

As with Crossbones, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Martin Freeman has been entirely left out of the marketing material for the film. Up to this trailer all we knew is that he would look like Martin Freeman (and probably act like him if the rest of his career is anything to go by) and that he's some sort of liaison between the government and the Avengers. What we know now is that at one point he's going to meet Cap and Falcon JUST after they've had their toys confiscated; he's going to be eccentric (nobody can pull off that sort of bold suit choice without being Robert Downey Jnr) and by the look of it, Sharon Carter is going to work with him. The dynamic of this brief sequence makes it seem like Freeman is indeed playing a handler of the Avengers (so expect him to be an annoying thorn in Cap's side), who Cap has to answer to after the twin disasters in Nigeria and then at the UN in Germany.
