Embracing the ‘go big, or go home’ mentality with both hands, Marvel has premiered the IMAX poster for Captain America: Civil War, thrusting a wedge between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Considering that a handful of sequences were shot using IMAX cameras, chief among them being the threequel’s main action scene, the one-sheet is a handy reminder that the large-screen format stands as the best way to see Civil War when it drops in only a few weeks’ time.
Alongside the poster debut, the studio also published a whole host of character bios for the film’s leading players. From Ant-Man to Captain America himself, each snippet offers a sense of context to every costumed hero, and how they’ve changed since the last time we glimpsed them on the big screen.
But perhaps the most intriguing of the bunch is the one attached to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, revealing that his webslinger was “recruited personally by Tony Stark.” Indeed, it’s a young and inexperienced Peter Parker – Underoos! – who “brings his youthful energy and exceptional — though not totally mastered — skills to Iron Man’s team.”
Rounding out the core cast for Civil War are Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, Martin Freeman’s government agent and, almost, Evangeline Lilly’s The Wasp.
Captain America: Civil War will tear Earth’s Mightiest Heroes apart from the inside out when Joe and Anthony Russo’s actioner opens on May 6.
