He frames Bucky for a UN attack, which only helps drive a wedge deeper between Stark and Rogers, as Steve goes off to find Bucky and prove his innocence while Tony takes his team to try and capture him.
What none of them realize is that all of this internal strife is being meticulously orchestrated by an evil genius who is out for revenge after his wife and daughter were killed when the city fell from the sky in Ultron. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) understands the need for such extreme measures, but Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) still remembers a time where such oversight wasn’t such a good thing and does his best to resist signing the UN’s new proposal, going as far as splitting up the team creating their own private “civil war”. While their mission is technically a success it doesn’t come without collateral casualties, which causes the rest of the world to rise up and demand some UN oversight into how, when, and where the Avengers can engage in future world affairs. When we return to the present, we join our Avengers already in mid-mission trying to thwart the theft of a deadly bioweapon. The MCU prides itself on flawless continuity, so this latest film picks up shortly after the events in Ultron, but not before the obligatory WWII flashback tease of Bucky getting brainwashed to track down and hijack a batch of Winter Soldier serum. They certainly offer much greater comedic potential to the script and cast.
After all, we are only one Norse god and a green guy with anger management issues short of an Avengers movie here, but after their last group outing in Ultron, I think we can all agree that Ant Man and Spidey are more than adequate replacements. As the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU) continues to build up to the Infinity War climax in 2019 we have plenty of new heroes to meet as well as some ensemble stories to get through, and none of them have been as highly anticipated as Captain America: Civil War. There’s a war brewing in the world of comics, and it’s not just DC vs.
