The opening scene of Captain America: Civil War (opens in new tab) reaches its explosive conclusion when Cap and his team take down Brock Rumlow – aka Crossbones – in a fiery blaze. We don’t see Crossbones’ body blow up in a scatter of bloody pieces, but surely there was no way that he could have survived that blast. Right? Wrong.  

“You think he dies, don’t you? Did you see the body?” actor Frank Grillo said during an interview on Good Morning America (opens in new tab). “What did you see?” The last we see is Crossbones tossed into the air, and seconds later, an explosion that leads to many innocent casualties. Apparently his protective gear is far more advanced than it appears.  

Let’s not forget, this is the world of comic book movies. Characters die only to be revived later on (i.e. Agent Coulson’s death in The Avengers is undone in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D). And Crossbones himself had a narrow squeak in Captain America: The Winter Soldier after a massive building landed on him… and he still didn’t die.

“That happened last time,” Grillo says, referring to the previous instance of Crossbones’ brush with death. “I’m not saying anything except that … you didn’t see a body.” Looks like the MCU might not be done with the unstoppable Crossbones.

“I did see Batman v Superman”, Stan told The Daily Beast (opens in new tab), “and I enjoyed it. I think visually it was insane. I thought Ben Affleck was an incredible Batman. I thought that fight sequence he had against all the guys, that was sick. Even Jesse Eisenberg was cracking me up at some points”.

“I also think that DC is at a point right now where, it’s been my impression, they want to get to Justice League”, Stan continued. “They want to go ahead and kind of get everybody fighting together. And I think the best way to jumpstart that was to get what I think most people wanted to see for a long time: Batman vs. Superman, two of the biggest superheroes in history”.

I’m in partial agreement with Stan here; Visually there’s a lot to like in Batman v Superman, Ben Affleck was very convincing as both Bruce Wayne and Batman, and the scene where he takes on multiple thugs is one of the film’s few highlights. 

There are times when we hear how someone at one company said something negative about their rival, so it’s nice to hear Stan giving a compliment to the competition – although he’s keen to point out that “I’m a Marvel guy, man”. Here’s hoping he and everyone else continues to enjoy DC’s output.

Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman, Tom Holland, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan, Captain America: Civil War is playing in cinemas now.
