First Captain America: Civil War Trailer Hits The Internet
November 25, 2015 by brennon
The first trailer for Captain America: Civil War has hit the internet and it has caused quite a bit of a storm. You can watch it above and then share your comments below...
In the trailer we get to see the conflict between Captain America and Iron Man intensifying as they deal with Bucky, now Winter Soldier, after the events of the last film. We also got a sneaky look at one of the new characters, only for a moment, with Black Panther showing up.
It was also hinted that Spider-Man is going to appear in this movie at some point but I'm sure they are going to keep that under wraps for a while. The fight scenes look great and there's plenty of explosions plus it will no doubt get people talking about more 'who would win' scenarios for the next few years.
With Knight Models also planning to bring Marvel to the tabletop you might be able to play these fights out for yourself too soon.
What did you think of the trailer?

I assume that Spider-Man has been kept out of the trailer so that the Metro newspaper can spoil it on the day of release. BOOM! Also, please don’t let it lead to a One More Day movie…
That or lego, does an iron man 3….
Thank you for linking me to the legit one! The others I saw were… Less legit…
I am looking forward to this, I am wondering how it will all go down. I like to see that they kept cap as the guy on the anti registration side, and that he seems to be the good guy, because making out Iron Man to be the good guy when we’re meant surrender control for security, well that doesn’t seem like the good guy! I am really looking forward to it more than star wars even.
The comic book was published as Marvel’s big crossover event of 2006 and tapped into the real world debate at the time between security and civil liberties (in areas such as the Patriot Act). Neither man is intended to be the good guy or the bad guy, but rather representative of different sides of a difficult debate.
Just to expand a little on redben’s point, a critical plank of this story line is that both sides of this argument have merit – it is not a story of heroes versus villains, but of two sets of (on balance at least) good people who are divided by a pretty thorny ethical and ideological issue where there is no obvious bright line between the right and wrong answer. As you say, Cap is very much of the opinion that individual freedom cannot be sacrificed for security, and feels that it is wrong that people should be under the scrutiny… Read more »
I know the story I know it well, I also know what Ben Franklin said.
“Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.”
He wrote “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”, was misquoted slightly on the Statue of Liberty, and rather more misquoted since. Both that and personal feelings on liberty vs security are an aside as to whom Civil War (the movie) presents as the ‘good guy’. The point was only that the comic presented neither as the good guy, so my expectation is the film would follow suit.
Again following on from redben, the problem with the formulation of the misquote “Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither” is that it eliminates vital nuance from Franklin’s original truism – giving up essential liberty for temporary safety is the problem, because that leads to a steady erosion of fundamental freedom, but striking some kind of balance between liberty and freedom is absolutely essential; indeed it is the true art of civilisation. Any organised culture inevitably involves the sacrifice of some personal liberty for security, because the only total freedom is necessarily an utterly anarchic freedom – a ‘state… Read more »
Whilst a reader may reasonably imagine that Franklin, as one of the Founding Fathers, wrote this in a great tract on the importance of freedom, it was actually just an aside in a letter to the Pennsylvania governor about a bill to raise funds for the protection of frontiersmen during the French & Indian War, and in fact meant pretty much the opposite of what people think it means. The governor kept rejecting bills which would tax the Penn family who in turn tried to buy off attempts to tax them. The ‘temporary safety’ was that which the Penn’s payoff… Read more »
Interesting stuff redben, and just the sort of historical quirk that often accompanies great sayings that were actually uttered or written (bearing in mind that a great many either were never said by the people they are attributed to, or cannot be proven to have been said by them – as an example Mahatma Gandhi never said “Be the change you wish to see in the world”, and there is no poof that Einstein ever uttered the phrase “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”). Often, as in this case, a… Read more »
I know there’s some Marvel fatigue out there but I’m happy to say that I’m not feeling any myself. I am, however, totally feeling this. Thanks for the link 😀
I think this will be a very relevant movie as it touches on the broad views of left vs. right.
I’m feeling Marvel fatigue myself. I think such a story arc deserves much more than just one fight-fest film, considering the source material (just like Ultron did, alas !)… I think it could be good or terrible. I wish it wouldn’t include any reference to the whole “infinity stones” thing, and i’d be very happy if some of the characters they introduced (fake Ant-Man, which i will continue calling that because it’s not Hank Pym, and the Vision, which I don’t like) weren’t in it. That being said, I am anticipating the Doctor Strange movie, which CAN legitimately introduce something… Read more »
True enough. I’m no fan of fake Ant-Man myself, and while I’m sure the effects of Civil War will be felt in the future movies, it is a shame that they will shoehorn so much of it into this one (or worse, chop up the original Civil War so much that what you have left is exactly enough for one movie).
Personally I’m really interested in the Captain Marvel movie. It’s either going to be awesome or very, very bad 😀
If nothing else it’ll help keep the TM away from DC lol
Yup definitely feeling the fatigue myself, that said the premise is a solid one, doubt will go and see it at the cinema but is this still meant to be bookending the cap and iron man story arcs? If so it will probably end in mutual destruction. Interesting to see how they handle the ensemble films following this one, will we end up with east and west coast avengers, or will they keep it simple and carry on ignoring the glaring holes left by lack of xmen in the line up? I mean if spidey may be making a cameo… Read more »
I like that they don’t seem to be following the story of the Civil War comics too closely, but are instead taking the basic concept, which was a good idea, and going in a different direction.
The Civil War comics had a lot of potential, but in my opinion it got wasted on characters behaving against their established nature and pointless shock moments. Really do not like those ones, despite them having some good moments.
looks good, so even superhero’s can’t make their mind up on who is what.
never read the graphic novel its based on.
didn’t think much of the editing of that trailer – black screen cuts every few seconds :/
looks really good and I’m not a Marvel fan and I think this looks good
I wonder if the movie will end like the comic series did? No spoilers but if you know the comic you know what i mean.
This trailer was the pinnacle of boredom for me…..
I wouldn’t go that far, but I see what you mean… more CGI pokemon fights…
Speaking as a kid of the 90s, CGI pokemon fights sound amazing.
Digimon always had the better fights….
Well I’m glad to see they’re largely ditching the comic plot for Civil War. Because it wasn’t that great, and movies are even less forgiving than comic books on storytelling.
Great!)
