Damn, Marvel! Back at again with the thoughtful yet wildly entertaining smash hits! I’m referring, of course, to Captain America: Civil War, the third installment in the stand-alone saga of Steve Rogers. Directed by the Russo Brothers, who also helmed 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War pits our favorite Avengers (plus a few new faces) against one another in a moral and physical struggle that threatens to tear them apart forever.

Mild spoilers ahead, for those who haven’t seen the movie yet!

Black Panther/T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) is a prince from Wakanda, an isolated [and fictional] African country known for its advanced technology and for being the only source of vibranium. Although he is drawn into the fight to avenge his father’s death, unlike the Avengers, his agenda does not lie with either Tony’s or Steve’s.
