When’s it out? May 6th, 2016

Who’s involved? An Avengers move in all but name, Civil War stars Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr with the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Rudd supporting them. Making their MCU debuts are Martin Freeman, Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman.

What’s it about? After another international incident causes collateral damage, the government enforces a system of accountability on superheroes. This splits our heroes – with Tony Stark on the government’s side while Steve Rogers is against the interference. Meanwhile, a new enemy threatens the world…

Verdict: Right now, there is little that Marvel fans can think of that is not Civil War. The trailers and footage released so far have really got audiences excited to see the former allies fight it out. With so many characters, it might be hard for the film to stay focussed, but Joe and Anthony Russo proved with The Winter Soldier that they can helm a terrific Captain America film. Hopefully they can do it again here as well.
