Super Bowl airtime is mighty expensive, but Marvel made an impact with their spot for Captain America: Civil War.
The 30-second trailer depicts how violence and chaos has split the superheroes while “United we stand” is chanted. It shows Cap ceaselessly protecting his childhood friend and a fight between Iron Man and Winter Soldier. We see Cap and Winter Soldier preparing for a fight as Tony Stark bursts in and says, “You chose the wrong side.”
It culminates in a shot that appears to show Captain America, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Falcon, Winter Soldier, and Scarlet Witch squaring off against Iron Man, Black Widow, War Machine, Vision, and Black Panther.
An epic showdown is eminent.
Captain America: Civil War will be in theaters on May 6, 2016. Though it’s Captain America’s movie, Chris Evans is joined by many of Marvel’s finest, including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, and Paul Rudd.
