The time has come to pick a side: #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan.

War Machine vs. Winter Soldier! Scarlet Witch vs. Vision! Hawkeye and Ant-Man vs. Iron Man! Crossbones vs. Captain America! The list goes on. Best of all, there's Spider-Man cameo.

Marvel Studios

Anthony Russo and Joe Russo returned to direct the third Captain America standalone film after successfully helming 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The brothers will also direct the superhero- and villain-packed Avengers: Infinity War Part I in 2018, followed by Avengers: Infinity War Part II in 2019.

Unfamiliar with the comics? Here is the film's official synopsis: "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."

Captain America: Civil War is in theaters May 6.
