It picks up after the post-credits scene from Ant-Man, centering on Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Captain America (Chris Evans), and a subdued Winter Soldier\/Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and featuring an all-out, hero-versus-hero brawl that climaxes with Bucky and Cap pummeling Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). Throughout the trailer, we&#8217;re reminded that Cap and Bucky are friends, and that their friendship is something the government and Iron Man don&#8217;t approve of. Cap is essentially defending a public enemy.<\/p>\n<p>But Civil War isn&#8217;t that simple, nor does its plot focus solely on Captain America&#8217;s personal relationships. There&#8217;s a major clue pertaining to the world beyond Cap and Bucky folded into the trailer, but it appears so briefly that you might&#8217;ve overlooked it.<\/p>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_77385\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uVdV-lxRPFo?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Pay special attention to the scene in which General Ross (William Hurt) is talking to Cap about Cap&#8217;s vigilante status.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve operated with unlimited power and no supervision,&#8221; Ross says. &#8220;That&#8217;s something the world can no longer tolerate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The scene could be misdirection, but it appears Hurt is speaking directly to Captain America. The camera then cuts to someone (Hurt) passing a document to Captain America. But there&#8217;s little trickery going on here. The person receiving the document has painted fingernails and is wearing rings \u2014 so it&#8217;s probably Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) or Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) if Hurt is indeed talking to the Avengers:<\/p>\n<p>The document is labeled &#8220;Sokovia Accords,&#8221; and according to an eagle-eyed Redditor, its full title is &#8220;Sokovia Accords: Framework for the Registration and Deployment of Enhanced Individuals.&#8221; Sokovia is the country that Ultron attacked and then levitated in an attempt to wipe out the world in Avengers: Age of Ultron.<\/p>\n<p>In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there&#8217;s an established idea of holding Avengers accountable for the damage they&#8217;ve caused. Going by that logic, Sokovia&#8217;s name is being invoked as part of a superhuman registration act \u2014 a piece of legislation that will make people with superpowers comply with the wishes of the government.<\/p>\n<p>Falcon refers to the Sokovia Accords by name in Ant-Man&#8217;s post-credits scene:<\/p>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_81544\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C4UF1OFAc_g?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Who knows if the Accords will let him [Iron Man] help,&#8221; Falcon tells Cap.<\/p>\n<p>The Sokovia Accords are a slight tweak on the comic book source material. Written by Mark Millar, Civil War&#8217;s inciting incident is a reality television superhero fight in which innocent humans are killed. In the upcoming film, that&#8217;s being swapped for an Avengers-centric event \u2014 either the global fallout from Age of Ultron or a new event that employs the name Sokovia as a reminder of the Avengers&#8217; power.<\/p>\n<p>While the friendship of Bucky Barnes and Captain America will no doubt play an integral role in Civil War, we shouldn&#8217;t overlook how the potential registration act that will pit Avenger against Avenger \u2014 even though the trailer may have wanted us to.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;padding:0;clear:both\">Related articles<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0;padding: 0;overflow: hidden\" class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\">\n<li style=\"padding: 0;background: none;float: left;vertical-align: top;text-align: left;width: 104px;font-size:12px;margin: 0 5px 10px 0\" class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/whatculture.com\/film\/8-things-marvel-could-do-after-phase-iii.php\" style=\"padding: 2px;text-decoration: none\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius:3px;padding: 0;margin: 0;border: 0;width: 100px;max-width: 100%\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/363874234_150_150.jpg\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/whatculture.com\/film\/8-things-marvel-could-do-after-phase-iii.php\" style=\"overflow:hidden;text-decoration: none;line-height: 12pt;height: 80px;padding: 5px 2px 0 2px\" rel=\"noopener\">8 Things Marvel Could Do After Phase 3<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 0;background: none;float: left;vertical-align: top;text-align: left;width: 104px;font-size:12px;margin: 0 5px 10px 0\" class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.latinopost.com\/articles\/23972\/20150923\/captain-america-civil-war-cast-trailer-release-date-leaked-promo-reveals-the-visions-take.htm\" style=\"padding: 2px;text-decoration: none\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius:3px;padding: 0;margin: 0;border: 0;width: 100px;max-width: 100%\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/363687053_150_150.jpg\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.latinopost.com\/articles\/23972\/20150923\/captain-america-civil-war-cast-trailer-release-date-leaked-promo-reveals-the-visions-take.htm\" style=\"overflow:hidden;text-decoration: none;line-height: 12pt;height: 80px;padding: 5px 2px 0 2px\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Captain America: Civil War&#8217; Cast, Trailer &amp; Release Date: Is The Vision Good or Bad?
