Most of the original boys and girls from the Avengers have reassembled and among them are some new faces (Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch). Problem is in Captain America: Civil War they aren’t all on the same side. Captain America (Chris Evans) believes his friend-turned-enemy-turned-friend-again Bucky (Sebastian Stan) doesn’t deserve death and is the key to uncovering…
