Explore the Superhero Conflict in New Captain America: Civil War Promos

"Human stories with a superhero feel."

The upcoming Marvel blockbuster Captain America: Civil War looks as if it will feature just as much spectacular superhero action as its two predecessors. The difference this time however is that it's hero against hero, with Cap and his allies fighting against Iron Man and the remaining Avengers. Two new featurettes have now been released that dive into the conflict--check them out below:

Civil War is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who also made Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and will next be tackling the two Avengers Infinity War movies. Although Robert Downey Jr is expected to return as Iron Man in Infinity War, with no Iron Man 4 planned, it is strongly rumoured that they could be his final appearances as Tony Stark. In a recent interview with Forbes, the directors were asked about the possibility of the character being recast for subsequent films.

"It's almost impossible to replace Robert, he's the biggest movie star in the world," Joe Russo said. "One close up from Robert is worth another actor's entire performance, he's incredibly gifted and insanely talented. I think if and when he is done with the character I think you will find that Iron Man might disappear for a while.

"I think the only way that you could reboot that character is to give a generational gap that would allow another actor to at least have a chance to redefine that character without the enormous spectre of Robert hanging over it."

The Russos also spoke about Infinity War, and how it would be "about as ambitious as movies get."

"It is intended to be the entire culmination of the Marvel cinematic universe," Anthony Russo revealed. "In many ways, [it is] the end to that part of it. The title alone indicates that there will be an incredible scale and scope to it."

Captain America: Civil War stars Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Olsen, and Jeremy Renner. It hits cinemas on May 6, 2016. Avengers: Infinity War Part One arrives in 2018, with Part Two following in 2019.
