Four score and about a hundred years ago, America endured its first Civil War. With the upcoming superhero movie directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, fans are sure to march to theatres as soldiers marched.

Captain America: Civil War will be released in theatres on Friday May 6, 2016 and will feature a plethora of fan favorites including Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man and many more.

The feud between Iron Man and Captain America is derived from two reasons. Firstly, a superhero group led by Iron Man believes that superheroes must be monitored.

This is justified in previous installments such as both Avengers movies and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, because destruction led to public fear in both situations. Iron Man believes superheroes should be identified and known to the public as well as have their powers registered.

However, in revealing their identity, they eliminate a secret essential for them to live a normal life, claims Captain America. In addition, they expose a vulnerability that can be taken advantage of.

The other reason for the brawl is an assassin named Winter Soldier, who Captain America continues to claim as a friend. This was even after he attempted to destroy the world because of their deep history. 

Along with the division in the movie comes division among students who favor one side over the other. Kids are taking sides and predicting a winner.

“I’m team Iron Man because Captain America is a useless hero that only has strength and no abilities while Iron Man has what Captain America lacks. Also even if you take away the suit he is still a genius, playboy, billionaire philanthropist,” junior Saud Shah said.

Both squads are composed of solid heroes, some of which may be crucial for their success or lead to their downfall.

“I think that Iron Man can win because I don’t see how anyone on Captain America’s team can stop Vision and Spider-Man,” sophomore Nghia Nguyen said. “Plus he technically wins in the comics.”

Although most believe Iron Man will be the winner, others believe there is still a way Captain America can win. 

“Captain America is a hands on fighter while Iron Man fights from afar. If Captain America can find a way to get close to him and take away some of his abilities, he can win,” senior Gammy Walsh said.

The most recent trailer for Civil War showed a young Spider-Man, which came off as a surprise to some fans, but others who keep up with the comics expected it. How effective he will be in defeating Captain America’s squad is unknown but he has potential.

“In his reveal, nothing came off as special for Spider_Man in regards to his suit but it will be exciting to see how a young Spider-Man would be,” senior Jashon Reams said.

Others believed that the move to introduce Spider-Man in the trailer was not a favorable one and that the directors should have taken another approach.

“I think that they should have kept his reveal until the movie came out. Kind of like what the directors did for Luke in Star Wars,” Nguyen said.

With a year filled with superhero movies with high expectations and high praise, such as Deadpool, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, fans are hopeful this movie will be a success just as Deadpool was and not an average movie as Dawn of Justice was.
