Marvel shows first ‘Captain America: Civil War’ footage

CEBU, Philippines – Marvel will be getting a little strange in 2016, but first they’ll have to survive a Civil War.

After skipping out on Comic-Con entirely, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige debuted new footage and a trailer from “Captain America: Civil War” and introduced concept art from “Doctor Strange” at Disney’s D23 Expo on Saturday.

Captain America himself, Chris Evans, flew in to appear at the fan convention with co-star Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon. Both had traveled from Germany where the film is in its last week of shooting.

The clip showed a hands-on battle in a crowded square with Evans, as Captain America, Anthony Mackie, as Falcon, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow taking on Crossbones — a formidable foe with a powerful punch.

The trailer teased the growing ideological rift between Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Evans’ Captain America that finds the Avengers fighting one another.

“It’s a culmination of everything that has come before in the cinematic universe,” said Feige, of the film which comes out May 6 and kicks off Marvel’s “Phase Three.”

Feige also presented concept art from “Doctor Strange,” set to shoot in November with director Scott Derrickson, and introduced a video greeting from star Benedict Cumberbatch, who was unable to attend the convention.

In the film, Cumberbatch’s Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange has his hands badly injured. He goes on a quest to find a healer and gains some otherworldly powers in the process.

Cumberbatch said the film will have “girls, cars, explosions and a bit of astro-projecting into multiple dimensions...the usual fare.”

“Doctor Strange” is set to hit theaters on November 2016.

“It’s as weird as any movie that’s ever been made,” said Feige. (AP)
