'Captain America: Civil War' is an upcoming film in Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film's official trailer featured several clues as well as first glimpses of new characters including Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther. The friendship of Cap and Bucky Barnes is said to play a pivotal role in the film's plot.
According to Cinema Blend, the first full official trailer of the much-anticipated follow-up has been released. It seems to be littered with several clues on what to expect for the latest film in Captain America's story. Some of these big reveals include Bucky Barnes' memory of Cap, the return of General Thunderbolt, the reveal of Cap's team of Avengers, and the first major appearance of Black Panther into the MCU.
It seemed that Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye proved to be some of Cap's allies but left questions of Black Panther's allegiance unanswered. According to The Hollywood Reporter, 'Captain America: Civil War' will pit avenger against fellow avenger. Two factions have been created - with one side led by Chris Evans' Captain America and another led by Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man.
Although the two continue to protect humankind from impending threats, they find themselves fighting over a new political act regulating superhero activity that gives the government oversight over the Avengers' actions.
According to Vox.com, Bucky and Cap's friendship seems to play a pivotal role in the unfolding of events in the upcoming film. The official trailer showed Bucky a.k.a. The Winter Soldier on the run as a fugitive. It also showed Iron Man's hunt for Captain America for saving Bucky in the previous film.
The new film features an ensemble cast of Hollywood heavyweights and budding stars including Evans, Downey Jr., Chadwick Boseman, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Emily VanCamp, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Frank Grillo, William Hurt and Daniel Bruhl. It is intended as the sequel to 2014's 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.
'Captain America: Civil War' is an upcoming superhero film based on characters from the Marvel comic books. It is the thirteenth installment in the MCU and is the first film in Phase Three. It is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo based on the screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
