And finally, the movie most likely to crush Batman v Superman comes barely a month later, as The Avengers get divided down the middle for Captain America: Civil War. This is a film with so much going for it: an insane cast of beloved superheroes going at it, a popular comic book to draw inspiration from, the introduction of Spider-Man and Black Panther into the MCU, and of course, Crossbones and Helmut Zemo appearing as villains. In a way, Civil War has a similar appeal to BvS: both movies will feature popular heroes slugging it out, and most fans are aware that there's probably not going to be a significant "winner" because most of these characters need to return for future movies. While Civil War risks feeling cluttered just as Age of Ultron did, the marketing so far suggests a darker, more emotionally-charged film, and considering that audiences have had several movies to get attached to these characters, it already has a pretty firm lead ahead of BvS, which is just the second movie in the DCEU.
