"Captain America: Civil War" can be seen either as the third movie centering on Marvel's star-spangled hero (Chris Evans) — or as "Avengers 2.5," since most of Cap's colleagues also are on board.

But they're not all getting along, as collateral damage in past missions is catching up to our heroes, and the U.N.'s member nations are pushing to take command over the superheroes' activities.

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), aka Iron Man, agrees to the limitations, but Cap, burned by the evil Hydra's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D., believes the best people to dictate the use of superpowers are the people who have them. Battle lines are drawn, and heroes both familiar and new are pulled into the fight.

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo (who directed "Captain America: The Winter Soldier") promise not only impressive superhero-on-superhero action but emotional moments and a timely political allegory.

"Captain America: Civil War" opens in theaters May 6. See the full list of movies set for this summer at http://www.sltrib.com/entertainment/3817653-155/summer-movie-preview-blasts-from-the .
