“They do, they have a lot of people in it… but, it’s to jump off into the next Avengers, ‘The Avengers: Infinity War.’ So ‘Cap 3′ is going to be the setup of the real battle. So yeah, there are a lot of people in “Cap 3,” said Evans to MTV News. Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr. and most of the actors who starred in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” will be seen in “Captain America: Civil War.” In the same interview, Mark Ruffalo who plays Hulk in the Avengers film hinted that he will not be seen in “Civil War,” though Johansson said that anything can happen at the last moment.
