Captain American Civil War 4

Considering it reached $1.4 billion worldwide, if you’re reading this, you probably sat through Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, if you’re like this viewer, you couldn’t help but feeling more than a little disappointed by the superhero tentpole. Thankfully, the next film that gets (most of) the gang back together looks a bit more interesting.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, returning after Captain America: The Winter Soldier, next summer’s Captain America: Civil War pits Iron Man and our title character against each other as they battle behind their different ideologies. Judging from the first trailer, which debuted last night, the action and set-up is already looking much improved over some of Marvel’s blander entries, so hopefully it’s a strong kick-off to the summer.

With an ensemble featuring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Emily VanCamp, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Frank Grillo, Tom Holland, William Hurt, and Daniel Brühl, check out the first trailer and posters below.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
