Black Panther claws Captain America in new Civil War TV spot

We've already had Batman vs Superman and Daredevil vs Punisher this year, but for many the superhero clash to look forward to is Captain America vs Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War. While Team Cap features heroes we've already come to know and love, the two MCU newcomers - Spider-Man and Black Panther, for the uninformed - will be fighting on Tony Stark's side. It's the King of Wakanda who is the highlight of this latest TV spot, which you can watch below...

The only metal that can leave a mark on Cap's vibranium shield is vibranium - which just so happens to be what Black Panther's costume is made of - and that should make the tussle between these two particularly exciting.

Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman, Tom Holland, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan, Captain America: Civil War opens in UK cinemas on April 29, 2016 and May 6, 2016 in the US.
