It finally happened. After months of speculation and
patience and even a bit of frustration, the much anticipated trailer for Marvel's
Captain America 3: Civil War has finally arrived. Few superhero movies have
been surrounded by so much speculation as this one. Starting with a conflicting
release date with Batman v Superman (which eventually led to DC caving and
moving the release date up a few weeks) and culminating in the addition of both
Black Panther (the first ever black superhero) and the brand new Spiderman.
Avid fans who knew of its eminent release in just 6 short months from now have
been waiting for some shred of information on this sure to be block buster hit,
and were finally rewarded this week with a not just a teaser but a whole two
and a half minute long trailer! If you haven’t seen it yet then please make
your life just a tiny bit better and enjoy the awesomeness I’ve linked for your
below
go on I’ll wait …
Holy smokes right! I mean that last 30 sec there had my jaw
drop the first time I saw it! They were literally (not figuratively) LITERALLY beating
him into the ground there!!!
With all the criticism of superheroes being repetitive
cookie cutter plots lately this movie looks to be a refreshing break form the
mold. In this convoluted story of allies turned enemies has a yet unseen
opportunity to deliver a compelling narrative fraught with betrayal broken
trust and a universe of heroes all being pushed to the breaking point.
Will they have the guts to actually kill one of our favorite
heroes? The comic book versions imply a very real possibility for one or more
of our avengers to meet their end in this epic show down. I won’t go into
details so it’s hopefully a surprise in the theaters but I will say this. Brace
yourselves, I think this ones gonna hurt…
Now this trailer while amazing as it is leaves many
questions still yet unanswered, such as, where in the world did the hulk fly
off to at the end of Avengers Age of Ultron, how does Black Panther get
involved with any of this at all, and most importantly, where is Spiderman and
what the heck does he look like now! Hopefully the latter will be answered soon
but I expect the first two questions won’t become clear until we see the movie
its self, and I’m okay with that, a little mystery in between films can be a
lot of fun.
So all in all this film looks like it’s going to be an epic,
emotional, and hugely successful continuation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So
much is likely going to change with this film that our expectations for the
future movies will likely be completely different once all the smoke has
cleared from this battle of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
