'Captain America: Civil War' Plot Details Outlined in New Report [SPOILERS]

Captain America: Civil War, as the title implies, will feature a showdown among the some of the greatest heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Spider-Man! Some new spoilers about the plot of the movie have come out in a new report that explains the central conflict of the movie.

The report comes from Birth.Movies.Death., which discusses the main conflict at the heart of the film. In the Civil War comic book, the Superhero Registration Act causes the divide between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. The former is in favor of the government bill that would force heroes to register as "living weapons of mass destruction" and reveal their true identities.

But this new report states that in the movie, the setup is a bit different.

"There is no Registration Act," the site reports. "There are Accords, a global move to govern the superheroes...many of the world's governments are concerned about a unilateral super-powered strike force that answers to no one now that SHIELD has been destroyed. The divide between Captain America and Iron Man boils down to that famous Latin quote that gave us one of the best comic book stories ever: Who watches the watchmen?"

Keep in mind that we briefly heard about "The Accords" in the post-credits scene of Ant-Man, in which Cap (Chris Evans) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) find the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).

So while the details might be slightly altered, the conflict at its core is largely the same as it is in the comic book of the same name. One superhero wants more accountability and government intervention for the heroes, while the other is squarely opposed to this idea.

"Should superheroes be free to do as they please, ubermensch inflicting their will on the world? Should superheroes be bound by the whims and changing winds of politics, unable to help people simply because a dictator who has a place on the UN Security Council doesn't want anyone interfering in his human rights abuses?" Birth.Movies.Death. reports. "Tony Stark, who has become increasingly aware of his responsibility to the world, and Steve Rogers, who has seen everything he believed in undermined when SHIELD was revealed to be a Hydra front."

What do you think of this Captain America 3 report? Do you mind the slight changes to the central conflict, or does the report about the plot not affect your thoughts about the movie? Let us know in the comments section below.
