I don't doubt this wouldn't be called The Avengers: Civil War otherwise with the third Captain America film being the start of the story. With some throw away lines about Thor and Hulk being off doing their film and whatever Hulk does alone respectively. Especially with the size of that CIVIL WAR logo behind Captain America. And it getting the May slot Marvel seems to love. (Like all the Iron Man films got, the two Avengers films, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and the next two Avengers movies will also get.)
The writers/directors combo that's doing this and did The Winter Soldier got tapped to be the ones to do the Infinity War films, so Marvel seems to be on board with their take on the MCU.
The Winter Soldier/Civil War could end up being the best one-two punch of comic movies so far. Not that there's much competition.
The thing that's amusing is that this is going to basically hit all sorts of the same thematic notes as Batman v Superman. For some reason, I think Marvel's version is going to be better even if TWS was a little hokey, it's not Zach Snyder hokey...although Chris Terrio. But the next BvS trailer comes out on Monday...or teaser...or trailer...or teaser trailer...depends on what day you ask. So maybe that will look fancy. Man of Steel had really bad trailers if I remember right.
As a comics fan it's funny how this "modern take" that Nolan, Goyer and Snyder were touting for Superman was in the comics like 30 years ago now. Even was a thread in one of D.C.'s first major crossovers after Crisis. I hope Terrio gave Snyder a well-paced script because I actually don't mind his pacing of multiple storylines outside of 300. And that Smallville fight was probably the first truly great Superman battle put to film. The Zod one had way too big of scale and ruined it. Smallville was tight and focused. Most of TWS was too. The sprawling battles like Zod or The Avengers films are just sound and fury. Though I do like how Whedon would edit them to make them into fake tracking shots. Snyder should take a gander at those parts, especially in the first Avengers.
While we're comparing and contrasting Marvel and Warner's film universes here for no good reason. Marvel's schedule is fucking tight, while Warner's is a complete mess. Infinity War Part I comes out May 2018 and Part II comes out May 2019 with only the Ant-Man sequel and Captain Marvel inbetween.
Warner on the other hand has scheduled Justice League Part One for November 2017 and Part Two for June 2019. With The Flash, Aquaman, Shazam set and Warner wants another Superman and another Batman inbetween the two parts. So five films could be taking place story-wise before or after the film they're releasing in the middle of. What stupid scheduling. There's a rumor that they don't want to move Aquaman and Shazam back to come after Justice League with Cyborg because it'll make them seem like second-tier status characters. You know, like fucking Cyborg.
I actually like Green Lantern Corps coming after and being the start of the second wave. Especially if it's actually a whole Corps focus.

Those fight sequences that started with the last one, and look to continue into this, especially the one at the end of the trailer.
