'Captain America 3' Release Date, Plot News: Civil War Comic Book Storyline to Emerge

A host of updates have been circulating online for the past few months regarding the plot development of the highly anticipated superhero movie "Captain America: Civil War." Slated to begin shooting this April 1, another piece of information regarding the title surfaced and this time it includes a plot synopsis.

Collider revealed what appears to be the "unofficial" summary for "Captain America 3," which was reportedly handed out to the main cast and extras.

"Following the events of Age of Ultron, the collective governments of the world pass an act designed to regulate all superhuman activity. This polarizes opinion amongst the Avengers, causing two factions to side with Iron Man or Captain America, which causes an epic battle between former allies," the summary reads.

This could further justify previous speculations that the third installment will use the Civil War storyline in the Marvel comic books.

The story arc would deal heavily on the Superhero Registration Act, a new policy from the U.S. government requiring all superheroes to identify themselves and submit to the regulation imposed upon them by the ruling body.

This would eventually create a rift between pro-Government entities led by Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and the anti-policy group spearheaded by Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans).

Returning after their success at the Winter Soldier, directors Anthony and Joe Russo will be spearheading the project which, as reported, is slated to open in theatres this May 6, 2016.
