Tony Hale and Adam Pally Do Battle as 'Captain America: Civil War' Reenactors (Video)
'Funny Or Die' spoofs Marvel's ripe-for-the-picking blockbuster
The 19th-century American Civil War lives on through reenactments, and now "Captain America: Civil War" is getting the same treatment.
Funny Or Die has successfully spoofed the Avengers-heavy blockbuster, recruiting Tony Hale ("Veep") and Adam Pally ("The Mindy Project") as Iron Man and Cap, respectively.
The supporting gang is all there, including a white Black Panther. (It's cool, he identifies as black.)

Unfortunately, Crossbones shows up to a location not historically accurate to the movie, and that causes a real problem in front of spectators.
Mostly though, the 13-minute parody features the two main adversaries whining at each other on and off the battlefield — including in the pool supply store where they both work — just like the real thing.
"Captain America: Civil War" brought in $179.1 million at the box office in its first weekend, edging out Iron Man in terms of box office performance: "Iron Man 3" was previously in the fifth position with a $174.1 million opening weekend. "Civil War" came in just behind the opening of last year's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which opened to $191.3 million.

Black Panther made a huge first impression in "Civil War," building excitement for his 2018 solo outing. He's the new King of Wakanda, but he's also keeping the internationally-wanted Bucky Barnes under his care. What role will he and his country, an official supporter of the Sokovia Accords, play in this superhero schism?

Marvel Studios -
Captain America essentially handed off leadership of the Avengers to Iron Man at the end of "Civil War." With Tony Stark's more cautious outlook toward superhero accountability be tested once he has to start dealing with politicians? And will he even be able to do his job while under the thumb of Thunderbolt Ross?
Marvel Studios -
In "Civil War" we see that Thunderbolt Ross is operating the superhero prison known as The Raft, taking a harder line against rebellious enhanced humans than we might have expected. What's Ross' agenda here? Is he really just being overly careful or does he have bigger plans for his detainees?
Marvel Studios -
The Sokovia Accords will also have an impact beyond the movies. This week's episode of "Agents of SHIELD" will address how the covert team will be affected by the new laws, and whether the Inhumans on the team will be protected.
Marvel Studios -
Captain America's staunch refusal to sign the Sokovia Accords has transformed him from Avenger to wanted vigilante. Will he be able to continue saving the world with the government that once championed him trying to hunt him down?

And on that note, the civil war in "Civil War" isn't quite over yet. Will #TeamIronMan, as happened in the comic-book version of the story, be so preoccupied trying to hunt down other good guys that they forget to deal with the bad guys?
Marvel Studios -
Zemo, the man who cunningly took advantage of the conflict over the Sokovia Accords to create a seemingly irreconcilable schism within the Avengers, is still alive at the end of "Civil War" and in the custody of the CIA. Will he have a part to play in the future of the MCU?

If "Civil War" is any indication, Scarlet Witch could become the most powerful member of the Avengers. With the MCU constantly building the stakes and the scale of its showdowns, will Wanda continue to have as big an impact on the Avengers as she did in "Civil War"? Also: in the comics, she and Vision are a couple -- how will that be handled moving forward with each of them on different sides of this battle?
Marvel Studios -
Vision is currently in possession of an Infinity Stone, which serves as his power source. With Thanos expected to go after all of the Infinity Stones in the upcoming "Infinity War," will Vision find a way to function without it? Or will that be a life-or-death situation for him?
Marvel Studios -
The biggest question, though, is how the Earth-bound films in the MCU, like the "Avengers" and "Cap" series, will crossover with the cosmic films like "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Thor." The Guardians have an Infinity Stone, so they have to enter the bigger picture at some point. The question is how and when.
