SM: I’m always bummed, because there’s more work. What was your reaction when Kevin came into the room with that news? After all the back and forth were you bummed you had to shake everything up again? When Spider-Man came back, we kept Panther where he was, because we liked it. When Spider-Man dropped out, we brought forward, and then it all paid off, because we got an extra hero out of it. Originally T’Challa was in the movie, but we weren’t sure we wanted to go all the way to Black Panther in the costume. There had been an early suggestion that it might happen, then it seemed to go away, and then really quite late in the process, Kevin came back in the room and said, "Guess what?" And when was first around, we worked out a way to use him, and when we went away, we kind of filled some of that space with Black Panther. When did you know Marvel would be able to use him?ĬM: He was in and out. Spider-Man has some great moments in this film, but that had been an ongoing rights issue. There’s just an inordinate amount of characters you’re working with on this one, while still trying to give them their own story beats or moment to shine. But boy, the Russo, we sat in a room with the Russos and a producer named Nate Moore and beat that script up for months. We certainly had less freedom on the first Captain America. But there’s very rarely a hard-and-fast dictate that "This has to happen." And there will be a back and forth that way. "There's rarely a hard and fast dictate that 'this has to happen.'"ĬM: And there’s a back and forth where we say, "OK, there’s gonna be this big fight with these three people in it," Kevin will come back and say "You know what I want to see? I want to see Ant-Man inside Iron Man’s costume," or something like that. Sometimes Marvel will say, "Hey, odds are we’re going to have this actor for this period of time, so probably not in every scene of the movie, keep that in mind when you’re writing it." That certainly happens sometimes. We are the ones that basically make those choices. We wanted all the heroes to fight, we wanted it to be the end of Act 2, and not the midpoint and not the beginning. We knew when we wanted the "splash panel" to happen. Are they feeding you benchmark beats you have to hit, or do you have freedom to explore and play? What is the interplay between you and Marvel like? They obviously have a bigger plan for how these movies are going to play out, but I’m wondering if that becomes restrictive at all.

It was, "Everyone just enters the movie where the story requires them to." So that it is not a free-for-all. So they weren’t just off spinning in their own orbit. Stephen McFeely: It was also very important that we had a central question, a central spine that every character was operating off of. So we do check in a lot with other franchises and say, "Hey, is there a draft, or what are you thinking?" It’s not the case where we just hide in a room and crank something out. It’s a problem we will continue to have, because there’s usually three going on at any one time, and it seems like we’re writing the movies where they all come together. How do you break the story on this thing and make sure it stays in sync with all the other projects?Ĭhristopher Markus: Rewriting a lot. All these other Phase 3 movies are about to come out. With fans already looking forward to those two big sequels, I spoke with Markus and McFeely about how they pull it off.īryan Bishop: I’d like to talk about Civil War just from a logistics perspective. But bringing together the disparate threads of the Marvel universe into its ultimate, climactic storyline requires a delicate dance between newly-introduced characters and long-standing favorites, all without stepping on the toes of the other Marvel films already in production. That film introduced a new sense of comparatively grounded realism and political self-awareness to the world, one that bleeds through into Captain America: Civil War - and will no doubt play a part in the two upcoming Avengers sequels they’re in the midst of writing.

After joining the Marvel family in 2011 with the first Captain America film, the duo went on to tackle Thor 2 and create the ABC series Agent Carter, before finally returning to the story of Steve Rogers with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige may be the undisputed architect of the company’s interconnected cinematic universe, but there’s arguably no creative force that’s become more integral to its current efforts than the writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
