Robert Downey Jr. Celebrates April Fools' Day CIVIL WAR Style
If this isn't an April Fools' joke, the latest Iron Man poster for Captain America: Civil War spoils the biggest MCU plot twist ever. To quote the infamous Trevor Slattery, "You'll never see it coming..."
Unlike the Mandarin misdirection in Iron Man 3 (yes, I'm still bitter about that), this is a plot twist that I can actually get behind. What if the big superhero battle between Team Cap and Team Iron Man is all part of some bigger ploy to take down Baron Zemo? Too bad it's just an April Fools' joke. On second thought, what is Zemo's role in the film? We're a little under two months away from the release of Civil War and there are still quite a number of unknowns keeping the full scope of the plot cloaked in mystery - which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
“Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
