Hawkeye and Black Widow clash in international Captain America: Civil War trailer

We've had two trailers for Captain America: Civil War so far, and they've both been great. The standout segment of the first promo was the heartbreaking exchange between Tony and Steve - "I'm sorry Tony. You know I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice. But he's my friend." / "So was I." - but the moment that had everyone talking in the second trailer was the reveal of Tom Holland's brand new Spider-Man.

Now a new international trailer for the highly anticipated superhero film has come online, and while there's not much new footage it gives us a little snippet of Black Widow and Hawkeye trading quips and blows. Check it out below (skip to 1:30 for the new footage)...

To my surprise, I'm not really a fan of this new bit of footage. While the punch-ups between Cap and Iron Man look and feel serious (as they should be), the Hawkeye and Black Widow fight is more comedic and makes it look like these heroes aren't really out to hurt each other. Granted, I may be reading too much into this - it is only a 5 second clip - but that would be a misstep.
