TRAILER PARK: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

It seems like more and more often these days, big budget comic book properties are favoring the slow build. Studios will release a couple teasers here and there to build hype for the trailer — or, rather, the short trailer. Then, to keep the hype building, a longer trailer follows that one. Not so for Captain America: Civil War.

This glorious two and half minute trailer for Cap’s third outing debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday night. And. It. Is. Marvelous!



There’s a lot to dissect in this trailer, but I’m just going to touch upon a few major details. 

General Ross is Back



We last saw Ross talking to Tony Stark in the post-credits sequence of 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. In case you don’t remember that movie, Ed Norton played Bruce Banner and it was pretty okay — at least compared to 2003’s Hulk. Apart from the short scene where Ross and Stark discuss “putting a team together,” The Incredible Hulk barely registers in the big, elaborate web of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even though there’s hardly any carry over from that film, I’m pleased that Joe and Anthony Russo, directors of Winter Soldier, chose to bring a talented actor like William Hurt back into the fold. Then again, they kind of had to, right?

The Sokovia Accords


It’s not all that surprising the climax of Avengers 2 has brought about some major consequences for Marvel’s big players. But Marvel has never been that brave when it comes to actually following through with those consequences. Just look to the airplane scene in Iron Man 3 and you’ll see how Marvel cringes at the thought of letting someone, anyone, who’s not a villain die in their movie. Maybe War Machine won’t be so lucky.

Black Panther


How badass is this character, honestly? I can’t wait to see how Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa is introduced to the MCU, but the trailer suggests that he’s gunning for the Winter Soldier — or is he Bucky again?

There’s plenty more to discuss, but I’d rather you just watch and rewatch the trailer like I have over the last couple days. The heroes are divided, the battle lines have been drawn and I am so ready to see what Avengers 2 should have been.
