Marvel comic fans will be excited by the release of Captain America: Civil War, the latest super hero movie directed by Anthony and Joe Russo.

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), also known as Captain America, is 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 system divides 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 (Robert Downey, Jr.), also known as Iron Man. Stark has made the surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
