VIDEO Captain America Civil War - first trailer is here!

Captain America is back in 2016, and it looks like he's going to be having some tough times according to this first teaser trailer for Civil War.

Be warned, it's seriously epic.

In this story, the superhero team which has worked together through two Avengers movies is split in two as the world tries to legislate against superpowered people. Iron Man is in favour of the laws, but Captain America is less so as he's still on a quest to free his former friend Bucky Barnes. It sets up a totally new dynamic in the Marvel-verse, as the former allies turn on one another, all thinking they're working for the greater good.

That's a pretty incredible set up for a story, and the nature of the conflict will see a huge number of the Avengers new and old turning up for cameos and larger roles. Iron Man and Cap are there, as well as Vision, Hawkeye, Iron Patriot, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Black Panther and the newly minted Spider-Man. That also means a huge collection of actors, including the first on screen appearances of Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman as Spider and Panther-y respectively.

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo are back, they were at the helm of the highly awesome Winter Soldier and what we're seeing so far makes this look like a match for that film, if not one better.

Captain America Civil War is in cinemas in April 2016.
