Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie and director Joe Russo will also attend
After all the recent speculation that set the internet ablaze when
Marvel Singapore tweeted a teaser of Marina Bay Sands reflecting off
Captain America’s shield, TODAY can finally confirm that Captain
America's Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie
(Falcon) and Captain America: Civil War director Joe Russo will be
coming to Singapore come April 21.
As the Marvel Singapore caption
promised, the stars have now indeed aligned with TeamCap representing
here on our little red dot.
Not unlike the previous X-men South-east Asian premiere held
here in 2014, there will be a special blue carpet (a dig at Iron
Man/Tony Stark’s penchant for red carpets) to welcome the Hollywood
stars to our shores at the Marina Bay Sands' skating rink from 6pm on
April 21.
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War will
see the beloved heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe fracturing into
opposing factions - one led by Captain America and another by Iron Man -
and clashing over a very divisive issue that could determine their
entire future as costumed vigilantes.
In recent interviews, director
Joe Russo has also called the film a love story, among other things.
“These are two guys (Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes) who grew up
together, and so they have that same emotional connection to each other
as brothers would, and even more so because Bucky was all Steve had
growing up,” he told Empire magazine.
Captain America: Civil War opens in Singapore on April 28.
