Set in the aftermath of of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the film has Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of The Avengers dealing with the consequences of their explosive adventures over the course of the first two phases of Marvel’s cinematic universe.

Along with bringing back many of the key players in Marvel’s movie-verse, the film also introduces Chadwick Boseman as African superhero Black Panther and — as glimpsed in the final moments in the trailer — Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man. The brief scene provides our first look at Holland as Peter Parker’s costumed alter ego, and also offers an indication of where the wall-crawler’s allegiances will fall in the feud between Marvel’s heroes.

Directed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo, Civil War stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Paul Bettany, Paul Rudd, William Hurt, and Frank Grillo in returning roles from the earlier films.

Other newcomers to Marvel’s cinematic universe in Civil War will be Emily VanCamp as Sharon “Agent 13” Carter and Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo.

Captain America: Civil War is scheduled to hit theaters May 6, 2016.

All the upcoming MCU movies we know about

After a record-breaking string of hits through 2022, Marvel Studios hit a few serious roadblocks in 2023. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was rejected by audiences after its big opening, and The Marvels was an epic flop that lost a ton of money. You know there are problems when Marvel movies are performing like lower-tier DC films. Only Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was able to buck the trend and become a hit last year.

Because of the writers and actors strikes in 2023, Marvel was forced to cut back its 2024 films to a single movie: Deadpool & Wolverine. The good news for Marvel is that if anything can turn its fortunes around, it's an R-rated action comedy featuring the two biggest stars from 20th Century Fox's X-Men-related films: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Beyond that, we're taking a look at all of the MCU movies that we know about. If Marvel's going to regain its previous heights, then the journey starts here.

The best MCU sequels, ranked
Thanos about to close his gauntlet in Avengers: Infinity War.

Some say the sequels aren't as good as the original, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe has successfully produced many noteworthy sequels over the years.

Some of these follow-ups have even been labeled far superior to their predecessors due to how they expanded upon their characters, their conflicts, and overall story themes. Since the MCU shows no signs of slowing down, and with The Marvels shaping up to be a financial disaster, the studio should take note of what made these sequels the best in the franchise.

But the vacation is over in the upcoming series, Secret Invasion. In the latest trailer for the series, Fury is not only back on Earth, but he's also the most wanted man in the world!
