Storyline

With many people fearing the actions of super heroes, the government decides to push for the Hero Registration Act, a law that limits a hero's actions. This results in a division in The Avengers. Iron Man stands with this Act, claiming that their actions must be kept in check otherwise cities will continue to be destroyed, but Captain America feels that saving the world is daring enough and that they cannot rely on the government to protect the world. This escalates into an all-out war between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spider-Man) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man) while a new villain emerges.

The day before filming a fight scene with Robert Downey Jr., Sebastian Stan sent him a video of himself doing intense bicep curls in front of the decapitated head of an Iron Man suit. He attached the message, "Looking forward to our scene tomorrow Robert".

Goofs

(at around 1h 9 mins) Even if Steve's enormous biceps are strong enough to hold back a copter, it would easily be able to take off between the time that he latched onto it and the time that he grabbed the rail. He provides no anchoring at this time, other than his body weight. That wouldn't be nearly enough to hold the helicopter down for as long as he does.

However Steve weighs about 240 pounds and when he jumps to grab the skid he is seen swinging on it violently. It appears the aircraft is a Eurocopter AS350 which is a light single-engine helicopter. Bringing a helicopter in a stable hover requires precise simultaneous control inputs. It is conceivable that when Steve was swinging his body weight on the skid that destabilized the helicopter enough and Bucky had to focus on keeping it stable rather than increasing the power for take off.

Crazy Credits

SPOILER: There are two scenes in the closing credits:

• Bucky and Steve hide out in Wakanda, under the permission and assistance of King T'Challa. This leads into Black Panther (2018).
• Peter Parker awkwardly explains his injuries to Aunt May, and later sees a gadget Tony Stark made for him. This leads into Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
