robert downey jr.
by october 2014, robert downey jr. had entered final negotiations to reprise his role as tony stark / iron man in the film. downey was added in order for the film to adapt the 2006–07 "civil war" comic book storyline written by mark millar, which pitted iron man against captain america. at the end of the month, it was confirmed that sebastian stan would return as bucky barnes / winter soldier. a few days later, marvel revealed that the film would be titled "captain america: civil war", confirming downey's appearance and announcing that chadwick boseman would appear in the film as black panther ahead of his own solo film. feige also confirmed that the film would be the first in the mcu's phase three slate of films. anthony russo stated that adapting the "civil war" storyline was not always the intended storyline and direction for the film when the brothers initially signed on to return as directors. markus expanded on this, saying the original concept for a third captain america film "never got to draft", with feige at some point telling the writing team to begin adapting "civil war" around their original ideas. mcfeely also added that, despite the shift in direction for the film, "the central theme, even the way zemo is operating, are from that [early] iteration." the russos revealed that, had negotiations with downey to appear in the film failed, they would have used the madbomb storyline from the captain america comics, which was eventually used as a plot point in the first season of the "agent carter" tv series. the premise for the film would have centered on zemo detonating the madbomb, which would "turn hordes of people into berserkers" to present a physical threat to captain america, while still pitting heroes against each other, as some would be zombified due to the madbomb, to satisfy an "emotional component" for the film.
