10 Things You Need To Know About Captain America: Civil War

While Marvel Studios more than likely own the rights to the New Warriors, they won't be the ones responsible for the government wanting the world's superheroes to register. 

Instead, the synopsis for Captain America: Civil War reveals that the decision to install a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team comes after another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage. Throw in the Battle of New York and what happened in Sokovia, and it's not hard to see why there are those who would believe that The Avengers need to be watched.

Rumour has it that Crossbones is the one responsible for orchestrating this disaster (which costs hundreds of lives), but it's obviously the heroes who are deemed responsible. With Baron Zemo set to serve as the movie's villain, it's also been reported that he's the one who sends Crossbones into action because he actually wants the Superhuman Registration Act put into place for his own nefarious reasons. 

So, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Civil War will kick off in a fairly similar, but somewhat different way. The principal - innocents being harmed when heroes charge into battle - is essentially the same though, so not even the biggest fan of the comic book series should be too worried about the lack of New Warriors!
