According to Marvel, Captain America: Civil War will show Steve Rogers aka Captain America leading a newly formed team of Avengers in their efforts to save the humanity from the greater danger. But one terrible move from the Avengers will result in heavy collateral damage and the government now wants to handle the Avengers on their own terms.
