10 Things Captain America: Civil War Will Have To Change From The Comic

By Freddie Rochez / June 5, 2015

Most fans assumed that Age of Ultron would be the last big Marvel film for a while. Everyone had assumed that the movies following the solo characters would, by their nature, be less of a big deal than those following the whole team. But, as more information is released about the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, it seems as though we were wrong. The film already promises to feature most of the established Marvel heroes, introduce new characters, and dramatically alter the film universe. Those who are familiar with the comic books won't be surprised by this news. The Civil War story line was one of the biggest events Marvel had ever created when it hit the shelves in 2006. The story spilled across multiple titles, having a dramatic impact that lasted for several years. Because the Civil War comics had such an effect on the characters involved, it seems certain that a film adaptation will follow suit. But there are many events that simply cannot be carried over from the comics into the film. As more and more films appear, and Marvel become increasingly ambitious with its projects, it seems likely that the franchise will run into difficulties. Story elements that are excluded from an earlier film may turn out to be vitally important in later movies, while conventions established in one film might contradict those of another. These differences can pile up, forcing writers to drastically alter the stories just to fit them in with the world they have created. From missing characters to altered histories, here are ten details from the Civil War comics that Marvel can't translate into the films.
