Civil War is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Already having grossed $181.7 million its opening weekend it will without a doubt continue to earn even more.

This movie has people of all ages dressing up and buying merchandise thanks to the impact it’s making. People are making a big deal about this movie because it’s the first Marvel movie that has two heroes colliding; Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) with differences on the Sokovia Accords, a government document designed to give full control of the private Avengers initiative to the United Nations.

Marvel recently earned back the rights to the Spider-Man (Tom Holland)  franchise from Sony, after going bankrupt Marvel sold its rights to multiple companies. Fans are excited  to see their favorite heroes together at last.

In this new installment of the Marvel franchise, the Russo brothers, directors of Captain America, Winter Soldier,  not only direct this movie but they launch Marvel into Phase 3 of their cinematic universe. In Phase 1, Marvel introduced super heroes in individual movies and in phase 2 The Avengers,  all super heroes are united.
