FULL SYNOPSIS
In this superhero epic, the denizens of the Marvel
Universe are forced to pick sides when Captain America (Chris Evans) and
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) come to blows over ideological
differences. After a mission involving a new Avengers squad led by Cap
ends with several civilian casualties in Lagos, the team are asked to
sign an agreement that would force them to take orders from a United
Nations panel. Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) pressures Cap to accept this
new arrangement, in part because he feels deeply guilty about his own
past recklessness; Captain America, however, fears that the Avengers
will only be corrupted by bureaucracy. Their disagreement eventually
escalates into all-out war when Cap's old friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian
Stan), now a brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier, reenters
the picture. Captain America: Civil War brings back former Avengers
characters such as Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy
Renner), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), War Machine (Don Cheadle),
Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Vision (Paul Bettany); it also drags into
the fray low-rent superhero Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), and introduces both the
powerful African prince Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and a new,
younger incarnation of Spider-Man (Tom Holland). Directed by Anthony and
Joe Russo. ~ Jack Rodgers, Rovi
