Captain America: Civil War - 13 Major Plot Clues From The First Trailer

11. The Sokovia Accords Are The New Superhero Registration Act

We've already had reports of the Sokovia Accords being what drives the film and leads to the Civil War, and here we get confirmation of that, and an actual look at them. It's basically just a big government document, probably excruciatingly boring to read through, but that's going to have a massive importance on the film. While in the Civil War comics it's the Superhero Registration Act that divides the team, here it'll be the Accords. They will grant the government more power over the heroes, with more accountability for them as well, and that's something Captain America just cannot agree with, leading to him going against the people he has previously called teammates.
