It is undeniable that the first two movies of the Captain America franchise, Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014), was a chart-topping blockbuster success for Marvel Studios. And now that the third of the list, Captain America: Civil War is on the verge of entering the blockbuster, nobody gets less excited than the rest.
It's going to be awesome, probably more than its two predecessors, now that a LOT of Marvel's superheroes and villains (though mostly superheroes) will appear in the big screen. Marvel really has an eye for character crossovers.
As announced by Marvel in a form of a press release, superheroes will battle against each other, not against villains after the US government introduced the Superhuman Registration Act, that is shortly after a band of reality star superheroes tried to capture a band of fugitives on camera, enraging Nitro and propelling him to use his powers to make a huge lethal explosion over Stramford, Connecticut. This is act is then to 'regulate' those superpowerful individuals.
These battle between superheroes will be led by Captain America, for the anti-registration side of the Superhuman Registration Act, and Iron Man, who's going to be the face of the pro party.
Marvel Studios is still decently firm on choosing the best people to do the work. With an all-star cast packed from Chris Evans to Scarlett Johansson to Samuel Jackson starring in the first line of movies, then added with the likes of Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, then the entire Avengers cast and a group of reality star superheroes and villains such as Baron Zemo, played by Daniel Brühl, and Crossbones, who appeared in the last film played by Frank Grillo, nothing will be more epic than this. Even Black Panther and Spiderman is anticipated for an appearance.
The plot for the movie is set to continue the story of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. So whether if you're planning to watch the third CA movie, watch the Avengers first.
The directors for the movie will be brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, who first teamed up for their blockbuster streak in the Winter Soldier. And it will be released on May 6 next year. The screenwriters for the movie shall be Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who also did the two of the CA movies.
Now that the plot has been laid out, and the pre-production starting, who do you think will come side-to-side with Captain America?
