Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world.

    Trivia

      • The film coincides with the 75th anniversary of Captain America. 2016 also marks the 10th anniversary of the original Civil War comic book and Black Panther's 50th anniversary.
      • This was the longest Marvel film, at two hours and twenty-seven minutes, until "Infinity War" (2 hours 35 mins).
      • This movie marks the beginning of Phase Three in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is the thirteenth film overall.
      • (at around 1h 24 mins) Wanda (Scarlet Witch) can disable the Vision, because she received her powers from the mind stone. One of Vision's powers, is to manipulate his body density, so he can become phantasmal, or stronger than diamonds. She made him so dense, that he became too heavy to move, and fell through the floor.
      • A large part of the film is set in Romania, where Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. Winter Soldier, was born.
      • In Spain, the film was titled "Capitán América: Civil War". The decision for not translating the subtitle "Civil War" as "Guerra Civil" was an attempt to avoid links or comparisons with the Spanish Civil War (plainly named in the country as "Guerra Civil"), which was fought between July 17, 1936 and April 1, 1939.

      • (at around 1h 30 mins) Tony Stark warns Captain America’s side that if they don’t surrender to Stark, some “J.S.O.C.” guys will come after them instead. This is a reference to the U.S. Military’s Joint Special Operations Command. J.S.O.C. oversees elite units like the U.S. Navy’s S.E.A.L. Team Six, the U.S. Air Force’s 24th Special Tactics Squadron, and the U.S. Army’s Delta Force and 75th Ranger Regiment.
      • The working title that was used to create the film was “Sputnik”. In the comics, “Sputnik” used to trigger the Winter Soldier’s mind control, much like the sequence, “Longing, Rusted, Furnace, Daybreak, Seventeen, Benign, Nine, Homecoming, One, Freight Car”, for his cinematic counterpart.
      • Filming started on May 7, 2015, in Atlanta, Georgia. The cast was working in ninety degree Fahrenheit (thirty-two degree Celcius) weather in costume.

      • According to the Russo brothers, the title for this movie has been in existence for over a decade.

      • Vision, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, and Scarlet Witch weren’t part of the original comic book storyline. The first three were dead at the time, while Wanda was missing and insane.
      • With a budget of two hundred fifty million dollars, this movie is the seventh-most expensive superhero film ever made, after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) (four hundred ten million dollars), Spider-Man 3 (2007) (three hundred fifty million dollars), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) (three hundred sixteen million dollars), The Dark Knight Rises (2012) (three hundred million dollars), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) (two hundred ninety-three million dollars), and Superman Returns (2006) (two hundred seventy million dollars).
      • On October 13, 2014, it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. would be joining the cast of this film, and that it would follow the Civil War storyline.

      • By the end of the movie, the Avengers logo on Captain America’s arm is no longer there, representing the Avengers are no longer his.
      • In the comics, while Spider-Man started off on Iron Man’s side, he later shifted over to Captain America’s side after learning that the Pro-Registration Side was imprisoning the captured unregistered heroes in a prison built in another dimension known as the “Negative Zone”, against their will, without due process (as it is technically not on American soil) until they agreed to register. In the film, he fights on Iron Man’s side, before being sent home by Iron Man after the battle at the airport in Germany.
      • Although she is never mentioned as a mutant (Fox owned the term rights at that time), Scarlet Witch is the only mutant between the Avengers in the movie, and she is seeing with a collar when locked in Raft Prision, which can be a reference to the X-Gene Inhibitor Collar, created in the comics by Bolivar Trask to suppress mutant powers. The collar has been featured before in X-2: X-Men United (2003) and X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014).

Winter Soldier is framed for the murder of Black Panther’s father, and Winter Soldier assassinated Iron Man’s parents at the order of HYDRA. Iron Man is a member of The Avengers.

    Filming


    Principal photography began on April 27, 2015, in Fayette County, Georgia, at Pinewood Atlanta Studios, under the working title Sputnik. Other filming locations in the Atlanta metropolitan area included the Buckhead district of Atlanta; the Peachtree Christian Church in Midtown Atlanta; Downtown Atlanta,including an area near Philips Arena known as The Gulch, which served as the market in Lagos; Norcross, Georgia; Porsche's headquarters in Atlanta at Aerotropolis Atlanta, which served as the Avengers' headquarters in the film; and the Atlanta Civic Center, which served as the IFID (Institute for Infectious Diseases) laboratory in Lagos; the latter's interiors doubled as MIT, and a third part was used for a Berlin location. After the reveal of the film's full cast, many outlets and fans began referring to the film as "Avengers 2.5 ", given the variety and ensemble nature of the cast, usually reserved for the Avengers films, and the fact that the film no longer felt like a Captain America-centric one, as with The Winter Soldier. In response to this, Feige said, "What's fun about Civil War though is, as you know from the comics, it's a very simple story. And it really has to be, to accommodate that many players. It's very much a Captain America movie and it's very much a sequel to the Winter Soldier in ways I don't think people [will expect].... It's a very simple structure that allows you to have these amazing character interactions in a way that I don't think becomes overwhelming." By the end of June, filming reached the halfway mark, with production moving to Germany in early August. Filming locations in Germany included the Olympic Stadium in Berlin,[147] and the Leipzig/Halle Airport in Schkeuditz. Additional filming also took place in Puerto Rico and Norway, and was scheduled to in Iceland. Principal photography wrapped on August 22, 2015. Captain America: Civil War was the first film to use IMAX's digital 2D cameras, made in partnership with Arri, which was a customized version of the Arri Alexa 65.
