Ranking: The Biggest Protagonists From 2016's Summer Blockbusters
3. Captain America (Chris Evans) - Captain America: Civil War
The Role: The steely leader of Team Cap, who rejects government sanctions on The Avengers and comes to blows with Iron Man over it.
Cap has always been the most earnest and honourable of the Avengers, and Civil War took this to another level as he rallied against contemporary concerns about "national security" and refused to be controlled by a government agency.
It was easy to see Cap as the hero of Civil War, but what's so great about the movie is that one can equally view Cap as irresponsible or allowing his emotional attachment to Bucky (Sebastian Stan) to cloud his judgement.
This elevated Cap from a squeaky clean saviour to a far more compelling, multi-faceted character, unafraid to get his hands dirty even against those he considered his friends.
