Captain America: Civil War’s Airport Fight Was Planned Using Action Figures
The famous airport battle between the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War was planned out by the movie creators using action figures. The third installment of the MCU's Captain America trilogy debuted in 2016, finishing out a financially and critically successful series of movies for Chris Evans' star-spangled hero. With a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Civil War became one of the best received movies in the MCU.
The airport fight is one of the most gripping moments in the Marvel movie, as the viewpoints of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Evans) collide. The disagreement first stems over Stark's decision to sign the Sokovia Accords, a multinational agreement that all superheroes must be put under the control and direction of a United Nations panel. Stark is still reeling from the news of an accidental civilian death that happened the previous film Avengers: Age of Ultron. Rogers disagrees that they should cede control over their own actions. Each member of the Avengers, and a few non-Avengers like Spider-Man, have to decide who is right, and Stark is under pressure to bring Rogers into the authorities without anyone being killed. This sets the stage for an incredibly entertaining and emotionally charged fight scene that split Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
