In just eight short days,Captain America: Civil Warwill hit theaters, kicking off Marvel Phase 3 in a huge way.Captain America: Civil Warmarks the fifth movie that has featured the iconic Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), following 2011’sCaptain America: The First Avengers, 2012’sThe Avengers, 2014’sCaptain America: The Winter Soldierand last year’sAvengers: Age of Ultron. To help celebrate Cap’s legacy, a new trailer has debuted that pays tribute to this big-screen icon.
Fandango Movieclipshas put together an extensive trailer that includes footage fromCaptain America’s first five movies, giving fans a quick recap ofCaptain America’s heroic exploits before the release ofCaptain America: Civil Waron May 6. Unlike most of the MCU’s heroes, Cap’s story spans several decades, going back to World War II, before Cap was literally unthawed and brought back to life in present day. We’ll have to wait just a few more days to see how his story continues inCaptain America: Civil War.
InCaptain America: Civil War,Steve Rogersleads a newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity inCaptain America: Civil War, which is set in the aftermath ofAvengers: Age of Ultron. But after another incident involving the Avengers results incollateral 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.
This adventure splits the Marvel universe in half, with heroes joining forces with either Captain America or Iron Man. Team Iron Man includes Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and the new charactersT’challa(Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland}).
