With curtains closed on the Phase 2 of Marvel Films, it's easy to spot fans turning their attention to Phase 3. The saga begins in May 2016, and for those who may not know, we have "Captain America: Civil War" to kick it off, Screen Rant reported.
Yet current reports seem to disagree on certain plot points. In the original comics, the "superhero registration act" fuelled the fire on the superheroes' dispute.
Movie Web noted:
"In the original Civil War comic books, the government sets up the Superhero Registration act, demanding that individuals with superpowers register themselves. This involves everyone on file giving their full identities and revealing every aspect about their private lives... But more than anything, the Superhero Registration Act is such a controversial topic, it brings Iron Man and Captain America to blows."
Birth Movies Death, as cited by Comic Book Movie, on the other hand, tells:
"There is no Registration Act. There are Accords, a global move to govern the supeheroes...many of the world's governments are concerned about a unilateral super-powered strike force that answers to no one now that SHIELD has been destroyed The divide between Captain America and Iron Man boils down to that famous Latin quote that gave us one of the best comic book stories ever: Who watches the watchmen?"
Movie Web furthers that the Sokovia Accords were put into place shortly after all the damage in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" were "the team of so-called heroes tore up South Africa and Sokovia with aplomb."
In addition, the outlet cited rumors, which peg that the opening scene tussle in "Captain America: Civil War" (which pits Crossbones against Cap, Falcon and Black Widow), helps push the Sokovia Accords home.
As many now probably know, "Civil War" will see our favourite Avenger heroes in teams, pitted against each other. Birth Movies Death, as per Movie Web, reveals that the Tony Stark and Steve Rogers clash comes down to a famous Latin quote, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" which means, "Who watches the watchmen?"
Captain America: Civil War is reported to center on "responsibility and being held for one's own actions, especially when a battle results in human casualties."
Josh Wilding of Comic Book Movie writes:
"Should superheroes be free to do as they please, ubermensch inflicting their will on the world? Should superheroes be bound by the whims and changing winds of politics, unable to help people simply because a dictator who has a place on the UN Security Council doesn't want anyone interfering in his human rights abuses?"
"Captain America: Civil War" first unveiled its teaser last August 15 at the D23 Expo. It hits theatres on May 6, 2016.
