Tension and Conflict Escalate in a New Trailer for Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War

Marvel released a new trailer for Captain America: Civil War, the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The action-packed trailer gives us a glimpse of the tension and conflict escalating between members of the Avengers. Captain America: Civil War is currently scheduled to hit theaters on May 6th, 2016.

Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" finds Steve Rogers 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 status quo fractures 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's surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
