With exactly one week left until Marvel’sCaptain America: Civil Warhits theaters, anticipation is higher than ever for this superhero adventure, which kicks off the studio’s Phase 3 slate. Over the past few days, the studio has brought backLeslie Bibbas journalist Christine Everhart for a series of viral videos, that have examined the cost ofThe Avengers’heroic deeds, and who should pay for all of the damage they cause. Today we have yet another viral video, which teases that the Commander-in-Chief himself, in the MCU, gave these heroes a shout-out.
In 2013’sIron Man 3, President Ellis (William Sadler) was saved by both Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and War Machine (Don Cheadle), so it should be no surprise that he is pro-Avengers. ThisCivil War viral videofromWHIH World Newsreveals that the President recently commended the efforts of these heroes, while the damages for their actions recently passed the $1 trillion mark, as political pressure mounts to create a system of accountability.Christine Everhartis joined once again by Will Adams (Al Madrigal), who reveals that the President “singled out” the actions of Captain America (Chris Evans) and The Falcon (Anthony Mackie).
As always, if you follow the news ticker that scrolls at the bottom of this video, there are a number of Easter Eggs that tie into theMarvel Cinematic Universe. One of these news items involves sightings of a giant insect in the San Francisco area, an obvious reference toAnt-Man’s transformation intoGiant Man, which is rumored to happen inCaptain America: Civil War. The ticker also mentions that the Transia Corporation, which was previously run by the late Gideon Malick (Powers Boothe), will announce a new interim CEO. There is even a reference toThe Avengers' infamous shawarma scene, with that business' owner commissioning a famous incognito street artist to paint a mural of these heroes on the wall of his restaurant.
If that wasn’t enough, we also have a new IMAX preview, where directorsAnthony RussoandJoe Russoexplain why you should seeMarvel’s Civil Warin IMAX. We also hear fromChris Evans,Paul Bettany,Anthony MackieandSebastian Stan, who describe how perfect the IMAX format is for this movie. The directors used the brand new ALEXA IMAX 65mm camera to film a massive 17-minute fight sequence between both Team Cap and Team Iron Man.
We also have a new clip fromCaptain America: Civil War, whichChadwick Bosemanrevealed on ABC’sJimmy Kimmel Live.
