An all-new international trailer has debuted and given how Captain America: Civil War will premiere internationally this weekend it is just fitting that they would get their first look at Marvel Studios' latest and most anticipated addition: Spider-Man.
Have a look at the latest incarnation of Spider-Man as portrayed by Tom Holland, and highly revered too.
Captain America: Civil War is the follow-up to 2014's hugely popular Captain America: The Winter Soldier and it is the third in the Captain America series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is set to release in North America on May 6, 2016. The film is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, gunplay and action throughout.
Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
We won't get to see Captain America: Civil War in theaters until May 6th, but internationally, the film will release a week early as has been the case with previous releases from Marvel Studios.
One of those lucky countries to premiere the film one whole week before it releases stateside is Germany, and to keep drumming up they hype they have gotten two new trailers.
In them, we get a couple of new shots that we hadn't yet seen in any trailers released in the States.
The first one features a character whom we hardly had any new information other than being Baron Zemo and that he is portrayed by Daniel Bruhl.
The second gives us a cool new shot of Ant-Man in action and doing what looks like major damage.

With almost every Marvel Studios, AMC Theaters have released a set of limited edition posters created by the talented folks from Poster Posse for their IMAX screenings, and this time is no different.
This time, the honor goes to Matt Ferguson who has collaborated time and again with Marvel Studios and delivered a pretty spectacular set of three posters that when put together takes us into the heart of the battle as these beloved superheroes do battle.
There is a new picture/post from Marvel revealing the dates that the posters will be handed out. One could speculate that the posters won't be randomized, but instead will be handed out on certain dates, as there are three separate given dates as to when you could get your claws on them.
Who knows though, maybe they will be randomized and if you go with a friend or two, you could get the complete set in one fell swoop.

An all new action-packed trailer for Legendary's upcoming film, based on Blizzard Entertainment's long-running, successful video game series Warcraft has been released and it packs quite a punch.
Have a look!
Azeroth stands on the brink of war as it's civilization, led by the humans, faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying world of Draenor to find their place in another. As a gateway known as the Dark Portal opens to connect the two worlds, the humans face destruction while the orcs face extinction. Anduin Lothar, leader of the humans, and Durotan, leader of the orcs are then sent on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people, and their home.
Warcraft is set to release on June 10, 2016, and it is being directed by Duncan Jones based on a screenplay by Charles Leavitt and Duncan Jones.

Since Marvel announced all the way back in 2013 that it was planning to release a joint project with Netflix that would see Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist brought to live television.
Not only that, but their series would eventually lead to a team-up of all four characters a la Avengers in Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which the characters would actually be a part of.
Of those four planned shows two have already premiered, and to major critical praise none the less.
Daredevil is already in it's second season, Jessica Jones has one under her belt, Luke Cage has recently finished filming, and Iron Fist is currently filming in New York City.
Finn Jones was cast as the titular hero, Iron Fist aka Danny Rand, Jessica Henwick was also brought into the fold along with David Wenham to give life to Colleen Wing and Harold Meachum, respectively. And now Variety has scooped up some news regarding two new actors joining the Iron Fist cast.
As per Variety:
"90210" alum Jessica Stroup has been cast in "Marvel' Iron Fist" on Netflix, Variety has learned exclusively. Tom Pelphrey ("Banshee", "Guiding Light") has also been cast in the upcoming superhero series.
Stroup will play the series regular role of Joy Meachum. Pelphrey will play her on-screen brother, Ward Meachum.
From L to R:Finn Jones, Jessica Henwick, David Wenham, Jessica Stroup, and Tom Pelphrey
Returning to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand Fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
Iron Fist is the fourth and final character of the original four (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the aforementioned Iron Fist) proposed by Marvel before they would team up and form The Defenders, which is set to get a season of it's own.

Warner Bros. set the first stone for building their shared universe with Batman v Superman, and now comes the second with their latest offering in the shape of The Suicide Squad.
The newest trailer, which premiered during the MTV Movie Awards earlier this evening, introduces us to the Squad's members along with a small cameo from a certain "vigilante", although already reported, i won't spoil it for you so keep your eyes peeled.
Have updated the video with the official release by Warner Bros.
"It feels good to be bad... Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?"
There is brand new footage showcasing Captain America and his team of Avengers in action in this exclusive video which premiered at the MTV Movie Awards.

How awesome is it to see The Avengers actually woring together as a team, complimenting each other so well. Speaking of which, seems like Captain America and Scarlet Witch have come up with their own little variation of the X-Men's "fastball special".

It seems that the bad reviews really did a number on Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman.
Now, for as much as one would like to point their finger at critics for bashing the moving and seemingly being out of touch with the material, fans have been pretty divisive about it too and that ultimately hurt the film as the box office numbers kept steadily dropping week to week. The film did manage to stay atop the charts for two weeks running but that was mainly in part because there were no big films to release on that span.
Given that the film had an astounding opening weekend, many pundits predicted that it would get over the $1 billion line that few films have been able to do. It was safe to assume that this would be the case given how this was an "event film" where not only would Wonder Woman make her first ever appearance on the silver screen, but also the very first time in history that the two most recognizable and most iconic superheroes would share the screen in a live adaptation. Now, the film not only had one the worst box office drop-offs in recent history, but it will apparently fail to reach the coveted $1 billion mark. According to scoop extraordinaire, Humberto Gonzales of Heroic Hollywood, Warner Bros. is rumored to be taking into consideration re-releasing the film as the 3+ hour long R - Rated cut that was promised for the Blu-Ray release ir order to help boost Batman v Superman past that milestone.
There are many points for and against Warner Bros. doing this.
One would be that we could see the film how Zack Snyder envisioned it and it would help alleviate the complaints of people who said they had trouble keeping up with what was going on. It could also shed some light onto some "plot holes" that the film had and make it a more fluent viewing experience.
We could also get to see some of the characters that were cut off from the theatrical feature.
At the same time, people might view this as a poor attempt at damage control from Warner Bros.
Some could say that it is a sleazy cash-grab attempt by the studio.
Or, if the R - Rated cut is the true way to see the film, then why did we get a watered-down, incomplete film to start with.
In the end, I personally think that Warner Bros. should man up and ride the theatrical version until the wheels fall off. Yeah, it's easy for me to say since I do not have any stake in the company and therefore will not suffer any of the loss of confidence from the general audience or even worse, the financial losses that they will.
What do you think of all this?
Would you be willing to shed some of your hard earned money to see an extended cut of a film you already paid to see but two weeks ago?
Fearing the actions of a god-like super-hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.
Batman v Superman is currently in theaters worldwide. It is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality".
Of all the material that was cut to make the film a manageable length for a theater release, there are already some scenes that have been released by WB or discussed by director Zack Snyder.
Check it out below.
1. Lex Luthor's Visions
It seems to take place after Doomsday is defeated as soldiers descend upon the Kryptonian ship where Lex took Zod into, and it sheds light into Lex's paranoid like rambling at the end of the film when Batman confronts him in jail.
As the soldiers approach the end of the hallway and come upon a chamber, they witness Lex Luthor as he is having some sort of vision. In that vision, we see an alien horned being with three black boxes floating in front of him. That horned alien is rumored to be Yuga Khan, Darkseid's father, and those black floating boxes? Mother Boxes, which have been confirmed by Zack Snyder. We see one of those boxes in the film, in one of the encrypted videos that Wonder Woman views while browsing the files that Lex had on other Meta-Humans. Specifically, in the third video that Wonder Woman views, where we see a scientist recording his findings and in the background there is a suspended torso to which the black box aka Mother Box, attaches itself to after it activates, thus creating the superhero Cyborg.
2. Superman's Powers
Another deleted scene, one that was discussed by Zack Snyder during an interview with IGN, has to do with Superman's inability to locate his mother Martha.
While many rightfully so have brought up some plot holes, one that seems to be making the rounds more is the incoherence of Superman's powers. How Superman can hear/sense that Lois is in danger half a world away and in a split second be there to rescue her, while at the same time moments/days later he can't hear/sense where his mother is when she is being held hostage by Lex Luthor and rescue her the same way seems to have left people scratching their heads.
According to Snyder, the reason for that is:
"To me, from Metropolis to Smallville is probably just on the edge of his range of hearing. Also, the clutter of the city makes it difficult as well. We had a scene that we cut from the movie where he tries to look for her when he finds out that Lex has got her. It was a slightly dark scene that we cut out because it sort of represented this dark side. Because when he was looking for his mom he heard all the cries of all the potential crimes going on in the city."
Zack Snyder
3. Jena Malone's Character
Although not openly discussed but seemingly leaked via a faux-pas by Warner Bros. is the role of Jena Malone. While it has been long speculated that she would be portraying Carrie Kelly, and/or Batgirl. Although vehemently denied by both, the film's studio and it's director, a small slip-up might have revealed who in fact Jena Malone is actually playing.
According to a Reddit user, Jena Malone was revealed to be playing Barbara Gordon via a survey.
The insinuation that Jena Malone may not be playing Batgirl, yet at the same time could be portraying Barbara Gordon may not make sense to some viewers, might be because she gave up being Batgirl after an unfortunate incident befell upon her. That incident, which is portrayed in the one-shot comic book "The Killing Joke," happens to involve Batman's most recognized and all time greatest nemesis, The Joker. In this series of events, The Joker in an attempt to prove to Batman that a bad day can push anyone over the edge, shoots Barbara Gordon and paralyzing her in the process, and kidnaps her father, Commissioner James Gordon.
The story had such an influence on the Batman mythos that Barbara Gordon's tragic shooting was somewhat made cannon and would then become Oracle.
In the New 52, Barbara regains her mobility through extensive therapy and resumes her role as Batgirl.
Still, take this last entry with a grain of salt. Which version we get in the R - Rated cut of the film is still unknown, but given the tone of the film, and how it more than hinted at the demise of one of Batman's closest allies, we could very well be looking at Barbara Gordon's tragic encounter with the Joker.
4. Robin's Suit
Robin's death has also been touched upon by Snyder. In an interview granted to IGN he revealed his motive behind the vandalized Robin suit we see in the film.
Img: DC/Warner Bros
"In my mind, it was that Robin had died 10 years earlier, during some run in with a young Joker. To me, it was a fun backstory there to play with. The whole idea was that there had been loss and sacrifice. In a weird way, he sacrificed everything to be Batman, right? He doesn't really have a life outside of the cave. I thought by including Robin - a dead Robin - it would help us understand he's been on quite a little journey."
Zack Snyder
Staying with the comic book backstory of this incident, The Joker, as with Batgirl/Barbara Gordon is responsible for this haunting event that plagues The Dark Knight.
Robin has a discussion with Batman after being reckless during a sting operation, and in turn has him being "put on timeout. By chance, he happens to discover that his biological mother might be alive and thus sets out to try and find her. While on his search, which leads him to the middle east, he finds his biological mother who, unbeknownst to him is being blackmailed by The Joker.
Robin's mother, having done some pretty mischevious deeds, tries to cover her crimes and turns Jason Todd, in full Robin costume over to The Joker who proceeds to beat him without remorse and later leaves him with a time bomb which ends up killing Robin and his mother.
5. "Superman's Pal(?)"
One more, although minuscule detail that we will get just a tad bit more of in the home release, will be Jimmy Olsen.
It most certainly went over everybody's head, but Jimmy Olsen actually made an appearance in the film, and yes, he was working covering a story for the Daily Planet, albeit as a cover up. If you haven't figured it out yet, he was the camera-man that gets made as an undercover CIA agent and gets executed by the terrorists whom Lois tries to interview in Africa.
So far, this is pretty much the content that has been touched upon since the release of the film that wasn't in the theatrical release.
Knowing this might be just the tip of the iceberg in regards to material that was left on the cutting room floor, are you ready to snatch up a copy of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice when it is released in home media later this year?
Batman v Superman is currently playing in theaters
Fearing the actions of a god-like super-hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.
Batman v Superman is currently in theaters worldwide. It is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some sensuality".
The clash between Captain America and Iron Man is drawing near, and the marketing push for the film is fixing to pick up.
The latest trailer for this summer's showdown between the two most prominent Avengers in their quest to protect the world in the best way possible gives some new footage but not so much as to spoil the movie.
Take a look at the latest Captain America: Civil War trailer and choose your side!
In it we get a little bit more of the back and forth between Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) and Captain America (Chris Evans) as they discuss the idea of being "put in check".
Some new shots of Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and what could lead to a pretty awesome fight between Captain America and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).
While Tony Stark was against being sanctioned by a government entity after revealing that he was Iron Man, it seems that he has now changed his tune as some of the latest catastrophic events that have plagued the planet can be directly tied to the team and/or their affiliates.
The fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the hands of Hydra is one that caused legit concern to the government as sleeper enemy agents were heavily behind defensive lines. Not only that but there were three huge Hellicariers that were poised to eliminate targets who were considered a threat even before they had a chance to manifest via their powers or intent awakened crashed in Washington D.C causing great property and human damage. Captain America was a principal protagonist in this war that has been going on for over the better half of a century.
Another event that had terrible consequences was the creation of the Ultron Defensive Program which in turn led to the artificial intelligence program to evolve and become sentient.
This turn of events caused the Sokovia incident which saw Ultron levitate the city in his attempt to use as a meteoric missile to impact the Earth and wipe out human existence. Ultron's plan was thwarted b the Avengers but not without massive collateral damage.
These events can be tied directly to Tony Stark, whom in his attempt to protect the world with an army of "Iron Man" drones, unwillingly created Ultron.
Now Steve Rogers will stand his ground in his opposition of being sanctioned by the government as he has discovered that the evil organization Hydra could very well be infiltrated deep within and might be in a committee that would dictate the actions of the Avengers in future events.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, feels that having an overruling committee that can rationally call the actions to be taken in the case of new unforeseen conflicts.
Captain America: Civil War is Marvel Studios latest installment of its shared cinematic universe. the film is set to release on May 6, 2016 in North America.
