Captain America: Civil War Trailer - 9 Things We Want To See

2. A Surprise Combatant

If that promotional art is a genuine (and given that Jeremy 'Hawkeye' Renner tweeted it, it certainly appears that it is), then the battle lines have already been drawn, and it€™s about as predictable and lopsided as you€™d expect. War Machine, Vision and Iron Man are on Team Stark, and Captain America has a collection of soldiers and spies with some cool gimmicks. Great. No, while everyone likes the idea of Robots Versus Ninjas in theory, this isn€™t going to cut it as a Marvel-themed celebrity death match. What we need is something out of left field, to shake things up a little. Show us some characters we haven€™t seen before €“ hey, what about a cameo from Deathlok on the Captain€™s side to even the cyborg stuff out? How about a visit from an Asgardian who isn€™t Thor €“ Loki€™s a trickster god, and this kind of friend versus friend schtick is right up his alley. Right now we could do with something different in the trailer, something to raise the stakes a little. Go on, Marvel. Pull a rabbit out of the hat€ give us something or someone we weren€™t expecting.
