Brother vs. Brother
Any Civil War, may it be fictional or not, is about basically pitting former friends and even brothers against each other. And this is what next year’s flick will do. According to Anthony Russo, they tried to make the conflict as personal as possible, while also presenting the political aspect of it.
But what does it mean to make it as personal as possible? The best example comes from the three characters who have been the focus of the teaser trailer: Captain America, Bucky Barnes and Iron Man. Steve must choose between an old friendship and a newer one – it is sort of like a love triangle, we would say if we wanted to joke about it.
Basically, the directors tried to find a way to justify the decisions of everybody involved in the struggle – from the two leaders to their followers.
At the same time, they also wanted to present how someone can change during such a terrible event. The changing of Captain America began with the events of the Winter Soldier – from the perfect army man, he became an insurgent. This arc will be completed next year, when the flick arrives (on the 5th of May).
Of course, Steve is not the only characters we are interested about – we are also interested about Tony Stark, who is the leader of the other team of Avengers. Why would he be pro-Accords when he was never willing to answer to an authority?
