The highly anticipated Marvel film 'Captain America: Civil War is less than month away from its official theatrical release. Already, we have seen Disney marketing campaign going on full throttle. Recently, the movie cast has been seen in a number of talk shows with its promotional trailers doing rounds in some celebrity events like the MTV Movie Awards. Now, Marvel fans are in for another exciting treat with a new sneak preview to pore over.

Last Monday night, Chris Evans (Captain America aka Steve Rogers) brought an ensemble of cast members who play superhero roles in the forthcoming Avengers movie. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live with him were Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan and Paul Rudd. Between his live interview questions with the cast, the host showed off the latest clips from the Captain America sequel that were not previously seen elsewhere.

Interestingly, the clips revealed one particular addition to Captain America's superhero lineup: Ant-Man. The previous Ant-Man movie featured the Falcon's skirmish with Rudd's character. As reported by BGR, Ant-Man was appropriately star struck in Captain America's presence.

Meanwhile, there still no confirmation on the purported inclusion of Spiderman in the superhero-studded film. As reported by Cinema Blend, the character is slated to join the cast in a Marvel movie before getting a solo next year. Among the Marvel movies scheduled to hit the theaters this year, Civil War is the most likely film.

The latest Captain America movie features an interesting storyline with Avengers locked in a cut-throat war over the fate of humanity. Also, a paradigm shift between self-centered independent-thinking Tony Stark (Iron Man) and trusting obedient soldier Captain America unfolds following an Avengers incident that resulted in heavy collateral damage.

As mentioned by Screen Rant, Iron Man now favors increasing government intervention while Rogers prefers operating outside government regulation- effectively splitting the Avengers into two opposing camps.
