THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS INVITES YOU TOITS 2016 PRESENTATION INCLUDING ASPECIAL SCREENING OF MARVEL’S “CAPTAINAMERICA: CIVIL WAR”
Dave Hollis, Executive Vice President, Theatrical Distribution, The Walt
Disney Studios
CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
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.
Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johannson, Don
Cheadle, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony
Mackie. Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. Produced by Kevin
Feige.
