Apologies for the late response but between work and the arrival of Tom Clancy's The Division I need sleep!
Now, before I get started, don't talk to Epic Voice Guy - Jon Bailey - about this trailer. But do check out his YouTube chanel and the video he made in response to the final Civil War trailer because he raises some valid points.
So we've got just over a month until Captain America: Civil War is released and we finally get to see the man everyone has been waiting to see...Spider-Man. But before we get into that, what else do we see? It's more of a story trailer, there's definitley a lot of action, but we learn more about what's going on.
Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) is back, as Secretary of State he's now gunning for all of the Avengers rather than just Hulk. Using the Sokovian Accords, the Battle of New York and the infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hydra to try and exercise control over the Avengers. This will obviously result in dividing the team rather than controlling them. In a complete role reversal, Cap goes from the soldier, the company man to being the rebel fighting the system. And Stark moves in the opposite direction, becoming the leader of those who support the regulation and oversight by governments. Both have their reasons for their choices; for Cap it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hydra corruption, lack of trust in politicians, and Bucky A.K.A. the Winter Soldier. Stark on the other hand is still dealing with the fact he almost wiped out the human race by creating Ultron. The fear vision Scarlett Witch gave him can't be helping either. It seems that a real focal point for the movie and the reason for which the different team members are chosing their side is Bucky. Only Cap knows Bucky as well as the Winter Soldier and can differentiate between the two whereas everyone else simply knows him as the Winter Soldier and nothing more! It was hinted that Bucky is responsible for the death of Stark's parents and apparently framed for the explosion we see in the trailer. The same explosion that T'Challa (Black Panther) is caught in, which would explain his interest in the situation, although he's supposed to be the outsider of the movie. As I said, with everything going on, Bucky seems to be right in the middle of it!
Of course there's more to it than a simple falling out. Hydra is almost definitley involved, manipulating from the shadows as always. Brock Rumlow returns, as to whether he goes by 'Crossbones' is another question, but he's apparently very annoyed at Cap for what happened to him in the last movie. Daniel Bruhl is making his first appearance as (Baron) Helmut Zemo, although it's meant to be a smaller role at this point, setting up another movie; possibly Infinity War Part 1. Hydra is definitley going to take interest in anything that could weaken or disband the Avengers, as would Thanos.
As for the trailer itself, I like it. Marvel aren't giving away too much, just little snippets to peak our interest. It's good to see Spider-Man, even if we don't get to see Tom Holland as such. However, it was a mistake to reveal his alliance with Stark. Even though it was cool to see his suit has Stark tech, I would have quite happily debated which team he'd join until I saw the movie. The trailer has definitely reheated the death of an Avenger debate. Not only do we have the photo of Stark holding a possibly dead War Machine in his arms but we've now seen War Machine shot down with Stark screaming his name. Would Marvel really reveal to us who will die in the trailer or is it all a ruse to hide the real victim or to make us think an Avenger will die? Is that why they added new members to the team at the end of Age of Ultron? It's worth noting that die hard fans have found a shot in the new trailer of Bucky on the ground with his metal arm ripped off! Could this be the end of Bucky? On the flip side, think of all the amazing things Stark could make for Bucky if he joins the Avengers!

Above all the funniest thing about this trailer is that it's for a movie titled Captain America: Civil War, but all anyone wants to see is Spider-Man!
