An unexpected tweet by “Captain America: Civil War” cast members Chris Evans has led to Ryan Reynolds supporting team Steve Rogers. A concerned Robert Downey Jr. joined in the conversation and would not let Reynolds go over to his rivals’ team so easily.

Evans apparently saw Reynolds’ movie “Deadpool” and liked it so much that he wrote about it on Twitter. Little did Evans know that a simple congratulation would win him the support of the actor.

Reynolds simply replied with a hashtag “#TeamCap,” indicating that the superhero Deadpool has joined Steve’s team. The producers of the movie and cast members Evans and Downey Jr. have been asking the fans to join either of the superhero teams in the movie.

Downey Jr. joined in the conversation and told Reynolds that he should join his team after Steve throws him out for “cussing.” Reynolds’ character in the movie is known for his blunt speech, while Steve doesn’t like people talking like that.

The reference Downey Jr. was making here was from a scene in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” in which Steve asks Iron Man to mind his language. The surprised superhero confronted Steve about it and he replied that it “just slipped out.” The other superheroes, however, did not forget it easily and made jokes about bad language around Steve. It is not clear is that jokes will continue in “Captain America: Civil War.”

The main plot of the movie revolves around the superhero community being split into two factions, each led by Steve and Tony respectively. The split is a result of a new legislation the government intends to introduce. The legislation seeks to limit the powers and freedoms of superheroes and make them answerable to a government authority.

The superheros supporting Steve in “Captain America: Civil War” are The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Agent 13 (Emily VanCamp). Iron Man’s team comprises of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Vision (Paul Bettany).
