Captain America; Civil War trailer is out…and will suck you right back in to...
Darn you, Kevin Feige! Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. made a surprise appearance on the Disney-owned Jimmy Kimmel Live and debuted a new Marvel movie trailer. And although the creaky plot machinations of Avengers: Age of Ultron weren't exactly thrilling, the new trailer for May's Captain America: Civil War has enough going on to drag you back into the interconnected world of the MCU.
