The film features many old faces from past Marvel movies including Captain America, The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. A surprising return is William Hurt as General Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross who has been absent from the silver screen since The Incredible Hulk in 2008.
The trailer focuses on the fact that the heroes that once were all on the same team, are now forced to fight each other.

Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, and Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, who were once friends are now leading opposing teams. The trailer shows not only Captain America and Iron Man duking it out but also the rest of the hero’s picking a side and joining in on the mayhem. Marvel wants its fans to pick a side too encouraging people to tweet out in support of #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan.
The film was directed by Emmy winners Anthony Russo and Joseph V. Russo (The Russo Brothers) who also directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier. They will also direct Avengers: Infinity War Part I and II.
