We're now just over three months away from one of the biggest movie's of 2016, and the hype train is getting longer and faster by the day, making the anticipation even more unbearable. But while we eagerly wait for Angry Birds: The Movie, let's talk about Captain America: Civil War. It's the first Marvel film of 2016, and the one tasked with kicking off Phase 3, all of which is building to the huge two-part Infinity War. It's also got some competition on its hands, coming out after Batman V Superman, and not long before X-Men: Apocalypse. With all that in mind, Marvel have gone very big for this one, rolling out the majority of their biggest players in what's both a superhero team-up and face-off. Sure, there will be villains, but the selling point of this is hero vs hero, with a stacked undercard headlined by Captain America vs Iron Man. Strangely, given the size of the film and the fact it's not all that far off, Marvel have actually kept the lid relatively closed on this one. There was one big trailer before Christmas, which gave us a glimpse of Teams Rogers and Stark in action, a tease of War Machine dying, and a 2-on-1 fight between Cap, Bucky, and Iron Man. Apart from that, though, there hasn't been an awful lot, especially compared with the spoiler-y trailers we had for Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Perhaps they've learnt their lesson from that, or maybe we're going to be seeing an awful lot more of the film in the coming months, as Disney really ramps up the marketing push. Either way, as it stands, there's plenty we don't know, and questions we need answering.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
