Everybody’s talking about Captain America: Civil War this week — but strangely, the thing that’s popped up on my Facebook feed the most times has almost nothing to do with the film itself.
With a new movie coming soon about a young Han Solo, Star Wars and Marvel fans alike have been taken aback by the similarities in the facial structure of a young Mark Hamill during his first stint as Luke Skywalker, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier‘s titular villain, Sebastian Stan.

Apparently Sebastian Stan shares an uncanny resemblance to younger @HamillHimself. Could He play Luke Skywalker? -B- pic.twitter.com/6IwW7M4Ztt

Basically what happened is that Instagram user @morphy_me put Stan’s face on Hamill’s headshot from the ’70s and, after that went viral, others started doing a side-by-side comparison that was almost as impressive.
Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
