Captain America: Civil War: Steve Rogers is no longer Captain America

The end of Captain America: Civil War went through many things, but one of the most important outcomes was the split of the Avengers following the final confrontation of Captain America/ Steve Rogers and Iron Man/ Tony Stark. After discovering that his parents were murdered in the past by a then brainwashed Winter Soldier/ Bucky Barnes, Iron Man went on full attack mode and was only bested on the end by Cap. With Stark calling Steve unworthy of wielding the shield thanks to his actions and defending his best friend, Rogers dropped his signature weapon and walked off with the injured Bucky to parts unknown... And that scene officially that meant that he was no longer Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe according to the Russo Brothers.

Doing a press tour for the upcoming Blu-Ray/ DVD release of the film, the Russo Brothers explained to The Huffington Post why that moment meant what it meant and why Steve Rogers left his superhero name behind:

"I think him dropping that shield is him letting go of that identity,” said Joe. “[It’s] him admitting that certainly,the identity of Captain America was in conflict with the very personal choice that he was making.”

 With plenty of deleted scenes (and yes even a gag reel) to look forward to, Captain America: Civil War hits digital on September 2 and on Blu-Ray/ DVD on September 13.

Batman Vs Superman: Josh Brolin WAS in talks to play Batman/ Bruce Wayne before Ben Affleck

Even if we have a new Batman in the form of actor/ director Ben Affleck for the upcoming "Batman Vs Superman" movie for 2015, there was a time when anyone could have been Batman, and rumors suggested that one of the prime candidates was MIB 3 and Jonah Hex actor, Josh Brolin.

Despite what this nice fan art that's circulating the web may show, it didn't come to pass. Yet the man himself has officially confirmed via The Huffington Post (c/o Batman-News) that he WAS in consideration/ talks to possibly take the role, which would have been opposite Henry Cavill's Superman.

In the interview, Josh confirms he was considered by director Zack Snyder and Warner Bros, but just that.

"We did. I didn't have any conversations about it, but Zack, that was part of his idea. It just didn't turn out. It's OK. It is OK. You know, another scenario might have worked better, but I'm happy for Ben."

And there you have it. While Brolin didn't get the part, he certainly would have been a good choice following his acting chops in several films as of late. He did get to play a DC Comics character in the form of Jonah Hex at least (despite bad reviews for that film), and he'll be taking up the lead in Spike Lee's remake of the South Korean thriller film "Oldboy", which comes out this November.
