The First ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Trailer Is Here
This is the week for counting your blessings, so here’s one more thing to give thanks for around the dinner table. Marvel Studios has debuted the very first trailer forCaptain America: Civil War, starringChris Evans,Robert Downey Jr.,Sebastian Stan,Anthony Mackie,Scarlett Johansson, and like half the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s even a new friend, Black Panther, played byChadwick Boseman. Check it out after the jump.
The firstCaptain America: Civil Wartrailer debuted onJimmy Kimmel Live. As an East Coaster, I have to admit, I’m a little bit furious at Marvel Studios for saving theCivil Wartrailer for a late night talk show. Now I’m too pumped up to get to sleep, and it’s all Captain America’s fault.
Fears thatCaptain America: Civil Warwould play too much like anAvengersmovie seem, so far, to be unfounded. The focus very much remains on Captain America (Evans). There’s also a whole lot of Bucky (Stan) here, for fans who feel he got shortchanged in earlier films. And Iron Man (Downey), of course, makes a strong showing as the film’s antagonist.
Not villain, mind you — we’ve yet to seeDaniel Brühl, who plays supervillain Baron Zemo. Also MIA is new Spider-ManTom Holland. And the MCU’s latest new superhero Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), though he’s so tiny we don’t know he’snotsecretly in every frame released so far. But hey, we’ve got another six months until the film actually drops. All in due time, we’re sure.
Captain America: Civil WararrivesMay 6, 2016.JoeandAnthony Russo(Captain America: Civil War) return as directors.
