Sherlock and The Hobbit star Martin Freeman will appear in Captain America Civil War and his exact role has finally been confirmed. Freeman will be playing Everett Ross, the US government’s man in Wakanda. For those unfamiliar with the Marvel comic universe, Wakanda is the African nation that is home to The Black Panther. The news obviously suggests that however much of Freeman we see in Civil War he’ll likely have a further part to play in the subsequent Black Panther solo movie alongside Chadwick Boseman.
