Here’s our first look at Captain America: Civil War, and there are a few things of note here. Despite what was previously thought, the plot appears to concentrate around Cap’s defence of Bucky, rather than the Superhero Registration Act, as per the Civil War comic’s storyline (although the shot of The Sokovia Accords hints that there maybe a storyline that mirrors it, but it doesn’t appear to be the main plot on the movie). Based on this trailer, Cap kind of comes off as the irrational bad guy in the film, which is punctuated by the two on one fight against Iron Man toward the end. We also don’t get to see Spidy in this trailer, but more than likely, Marvel’s waiting for later in the marketing campaign for that reveal. We do, however, get a great shot of Black Panther, who looks pretty bad ass. And if you were wondering who takes whose side in the war, we do get a nice shot of Captain America’s team together (Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Winter Soldier and Falcon). We’ll know more about the film with new trailers in the coming months, no doubt.
UPDATE: Here is the official synopsis of the film, which reveals a lot more about the government’s interference, making this trailer a bit misleading:
“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.”
