Why Zemo Isn't The REAL Enemy In 'Captain America: Civil War'
Marvel is commonly criticised for having major problems with their villains, and Captain America: Civil War's Zemo is already getting a lot of criticism. Interestingly enough though, I think there's a case for arguing Zemo isn't really the villain of the film.

Rating the Heroes of 'Captain America: Civil War'
Featuring more superheroes than any Marvel movie before it - albeit with Thor and Hulk as notable absences - Captain America: Civil War is an all-action superhero brawl!

Bucky Up Your Ideas: Did Sebastian Stan Confirm He Is The New Captain America?
If you want to "shield" yourself from wild speculation, turn back now, because Sebastian Stan is once again waving Old Glory in front of our faces. We have varying rumors from "now" to "never" on when Chris Evans will shuffle out of the MCU, and even then, it is unlikely to be permanent.

5 Things We'd Love to See in a Rebooted X-Men Franchise
It’s safe to say that 2016 has been a great (if divisive) year for comic book movies in general, with the massive successes of #Deadpool and #DoctorStrange standing proud among the many blockbuster hits.
