Up to this point in the Marvel cinematic universe we have seen Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) butt heads a few times in disagreements, but none can compare to what we are expecting to see in Captain America: Civil War.

‘Daredevil’ Releases First Season 2 Trailer, New Poster, and Promos
If you’re like me, you hated the fact that you watched the first season of Daredevil so fast that you had to wait a while to see the second. Luckily, we’re not far away from seeing season 2, and there’s no better sign of that than the release of the first trailer. The trailer really shines the spotlight on Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, on the big threat and challenge that he will be for Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, and how they seemingly are different sides of the same coin.
And just in case you needed something extra before seeing the second part of the trailer, a new poster and two new promos were also released for Daredevil Season 2.
