‘Captain America: Civil War' Film Is Not The Exact Mirror Of The Comic Book

The superheroes' masked identities will not be the impetus behind superhero registration act in Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's upcoming Marvel film "Captain America: Civil War."

According to Birth Movies Death, the Superhero Registration Act will be replaced by the "Accords," an international movement formed by the world's governing bodies to limit and keep an eye to newly-formed superhero teams. This implies that superheroes will have to be subordinate to larger political bodies that are afraid of their abilities.

Marvel Studios' take on the Accords is different from the Superhero Registration Act in the comics. In the comics, the act was a driving force obliging superheroes to reveal their secret identities to the government, which leads to the clash between Captain America and Iron Man. But since the identities of both superheroes are already known in the previous films, Marvel has to creatively change its take in "Civil War."

The superheroes' thoughts on the government have been touched in the Russos' "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and Joss Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," as per Cinema Blend.

In "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," fans witnessed HYDRA tear down S.H.I.E.L.D., the organization where Steve Rogers put his trust. But with the fall of the organization, it is assumed that the first Avenger became doubtful of the government.

Meanwhile, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" saw Tony Stark build Ultron, as the Earth's defense against threats. With Ultron failing his plans, Stark could be seen setting up a new blueprint to help defend mankind and the planet in the Russos "Captain America: Civil War."

With the film showcasing fission between Captain America and Iron Man, how the Accords will affect other masked superheroes like Spider-Man is yet to be revealed.

The Russos' "Captain America: Civil War" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on May 6, 2016.
