Whose side are you on, a decade later?\u00a0<\/p>\n
May 6 marks the 10-year anniversary of Marvel Studios\u2019 Captain America: Civil War<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the explosive showdown between Captain America<\/a> (Chris Evans) and Iron Man<\/a> (Robert Downey Jr.) that threatened to rip apart the Avengers<\/a> forever. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the 2016 film sent shockwaves through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, inspired by the watershed Marvel Comics event of the same name.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Ten years on, the legacy of Civil War\u00a0<\/em>still lingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a lot of work on a crafting level, this idea that you can take two heroes and make them completely opposed to one another in their objectives in the film,\u201d Anthony Russo says. \u201c[You need to] make both of them relatable, but both of them flawed. That took a lot of deft work on the part of Markus and McFeely, of course, to execute that. But I think it\u2019s\u00a0testament to the fact that it worked. Ten years later, both Tony Stark and Steve Rogers remain empathetic and relatable. You\u2019ll see to this day, people are divided over who was more relatable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Civil War\u00a0<\/em>is packed with memorable moments \u2014 from that jaw-dropping airport battle to the final emotional clash between Steve, Tony, and Bucky Barnes<\/a> (Sebastian Stan). The film also introduced two new faces, both pivotal to the future of the MCU: Chadwick Boseman\u2019s Black Panther<\/a> and Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man<\/a>. Steve and Tony may be the backbone of Civil War\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>story, but T\u2019Challa and Peter are its beating heart, and the Russos say that without the introduction of those two characters, Civil War<\/em> would never work.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n
