The countdown to "Civil War" has begun, as the highly anticipated film is set to be released this May. The film brings back some of Marvel fans' favorite Avengers without the title card in the film, and will also be the first to feature Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther and Tom Holland's Spider-Man to the MCU.

But what's definitely going to be interesting is how Steve Rogers' Captain America will go up against Tony Stark's Iron Man in a fight for what truly is right—whether or not superheroes like themselves should register in the Superhuman Registration Act under the US government.

"There’s a great parallel that they draw between my character and Tony Stark," Chris Evans, who plays the titular character in the third iteration of the Marvel film series, told Cineplex. "It’s something we can all relate to in terms of how we perceive our own society and culture, in terms of what is best for people."

"You can go right down to Democrat and Republican; everyone has a different opinion of what’s best," the 34-year-old actor said, relating the films issues to the current issues of the nation, which faces the Presidential elections this year.

IGN reports that "Civil War" is based on the 2006 comic which pitted the two Avengers against each other. Unlike the previous "Captain America" films, however, this one will feature more Avengers, including the newly minted Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), and returning characters Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Vision (Paul Bettany), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and War Machine (Don Cheadle). Of course, Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier, with whom the plot seems to center around, will also be returning.

"You have this team of people who are destroying every city they go to, but they’re saving the world," Evans explained. "So it’s a matter of, do we monitor these people or do we let them monitor themselves? The beautiful thing with Civil War is that no one’s right and no one’s wrong; it’s just your personal opinion."

Games Radar reports that the film will touch more on how Steve Rogers had evolved from the very first "Captain America" film, down to finding himself among the Avengers and saving the world. Evans shared, "We’re going to have a nice evolution where you have a guy like Cap, who grew up with structure—he was a soldier and he liked hierarchy, he liked the chain command. Now, all of a sudden, you have a guy who used to love the system not so sure about trusting it. And a guy like Tony Stark, who used to buck the system and dance to the beat of his own drum all of a sudden thinking, maybe we need some order."

"Captain America: Civil War" is directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and is set to open on May 6.
