Did Frank Grillo Confirm Crossbones Will Appear in 'Captain America 3: Civil War'?
Frank Grillo appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as Crossbones, one of Captain America's more famous villains. In a recent interview, the actor all but confirmed that his character would return in the third movie, Captain America: Civil War.
Grillo spoke to EW and made it pretty clear he would return for Civil War, due out on May 6, 2016. "[Winter Soldier] was only a taste of what's to come with the next film, and I couldn't be more humbled and excited," Grillo said. "They just kind of called and said, 'What kind of shape are you in? We're going to need a body scan.' They scan your body so that whatever you wear fits you like a glove....We all know what Crossbones represents in his world, so when they called me and said we gotta do the body scan, I was like 'Okay!'"
Crossbones famously wears a black and white skull mask, so be on the lookout for that in Civil War. Grillo went on to talk about the physicality of preparing for the role of Crossbones. "He's a badass" Grillo said. "He is just vicious. I like the idea that it's no holds barred. I was 15 pounds bigger when I did Cap 2, and I'll put another 15 pounds on to do Cap 3. I love the physicality. It changes the way you look; it changes the way you feel."
Civil War is going to have plenty of characters as it is, especially with the addition of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man. Hopefully Crossbones gets his due time in the film.
