Captain America: Civil Warwill kick off Marvel’s Phase Three lineup, featuring almost all of theMarvel Cinematic Universecharacters. The movie comes two years afterCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, which introduced filmmakersAnthony RussoandJoe Russo, who directedCaptain America: Civil Warand will next take onAvengers: Infinity War Part IandAvengers: Infinity War - Part II. The filmmakers recently appeared at a Cleveland convention over the weekend, whereJoe Russoteased a more “aggressive” tone.
“We really did a radical reinterpretation of Captain America in Winter Soldier. We were twice as aggressive in tone and execution on Civil War.”
The movie finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team ofAvengersin their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving theAvengersresults 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 theAvengers, resulting in two camps-one led bySteve Rogersand his desire for theAvengersto remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
