We're just about two months off from the debut of Captain America: Civil War, the third entry in the Captain America franchise that looks an awful lot like an Avengers movie but apparently is not, according to numerous sources. The marketing for this hugely anticipated movie has been relentless thus far, and there's no reason to assume the pressure will let up in the final two months before the film hits theaters. For example, the last 24 hours or so have brought on a bevy of new promotional images for the film, including one asking fans to pick their side between Cap (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). Take a look at a sizable sampling of these promo art images, that come from SHH, the official Facebook and Twitter pages for the film, and CS, right below:
Here’s the plot synopsis for Captain America: Civil War:
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.
Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” stars 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 and Frank Grillo, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl.
Anthony & Joe Russo are directing with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Nate Moore and Stan Lee are the executive producers. The screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. 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 6, 2016.
