  • Battle between Iron Man & Captain America to ensue on Star on 14 May

    MUMBAI: What happens when buildings are toppled, properties are destroyed and there are countless civilian casualties? What happens when the United Nations demands accountability and the governments of the world start looking at superheroes as weapons of mass destruction?

    Somebody needs to be accountable and somebody needs to save the world. Witness the ultimate Civil War where the superheroes divide and pick sides.

    A superhero showdown like never before, Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War is all set to make its Indian television debut on Star Movies and Star Movies HD on Sunday, 14 May at 1 PM & 9 PM!

    Captain America: Civil War is the third instalment of the Captain America franchise and the 13th movie in the Marvel cinematic universe. It focuses on the growing tension between Steve Rogers/Cap (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), which ultimately ramps up into an internal “war” between Avengers factions. Directors Anthony & Joe Russo have pulled together a movie that brings as much hard-hitting drama to the table as much as it does on its astounding action.

    The film features a dream ensemble cast comprising of Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Paul Bettany (Vision), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter), and Tom Holland among others.
