"Captain America 3: Civil War" will be packed with a huge number of superheroes whose views have caused a great divide within what was once a solid group. In addition to the Avengers, Ant-Man will reportedly be making an appearance as well.
Mid-Day reported that Ant-Man will be taking on his "Giant-Man" form during the battle scenes. Ant-Man's involvement could be one of the factors why "Captain America 3" is considered to be very "different" from the other ones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
"I have read the script of 'Civil War,'" "Avengers" star Scarlett Johansson told Collider. "You know, the film has a very different feeling than anything of Marvel's that I have read or been a part of before. These films are - I do not think 'darker' is the right word because there is definitely always going to be some kind of levity, and that comes in a form of humor or hope."
According to Johansson, "Captain America 3" is "a different audience experience" all together; something that is highly coveted by today's "maturing" audience. "So, there are even more complex psychological twists that I, sort of, had not necessarily anticipated," ScarJo said, according to Digital Spy.
Another unique factor with this particular Marvel film is that it features the world's favorite superheroes at a time when they are not united. Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Falcon will be forming an allegiance and will be siding against Iron Man, The Vision, War Machine, and Ant-Man. Scarlet witch and Black Panther are reportedly "somewhere in the mix."
It appears that everyone will have to set aside their differences aside to battle Baron Zemo and Crossbones who is actually a very important character in the formation of the plot for the third installment of the "Captain America" franchise, according to Cinema Blend.
It was Crossbones's heinous acts that compelled the government to implement the new Superhuman Registration Act, which is responsible for the divide between Captain America's side and Iron Man's team.
However, according to Marvel's "Civil War" crossover event series, it was actually The New Warriors, a new superhero team, that ended up decimating a few blocks in Connecticut, killing 600 people, 60 of which were young school children. This event prompted a change in how the public viewed superheroes and their powers which pushed the government to interfere.
