Captain America: Civil War Plot Synopsis:
With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the government decides to push for the Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a hero's actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spider-Man) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges.
Marvel"s Captain America: Civil War (2016) is co-directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. This finale to the Captain America trilogy unleashes a battle between Marvel"s superheroes. The three posters featured here all have Captain America featured, but two also have him fighting Iron Man, awesome! Captain America: Civil War releases in movie theaters on May 6, 2016, so we still have a long wait. Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr. star in Captain America: Civil War.
Synopsis / Plot Summary: 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. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel"s Captain America: Civil War opens in U.S. theaters on May.
