Captain America: Civil War shows that this movie will be a fast paced, all out action movie. The trailer gave fans a sample and left them wanting more.

The highlight of the trailer filled with action and special effects was the debut of fan favorite, Black Panther played by Chadwick Boseman (best known for playing Jackie Robinson in the film 42).

A Black Panther standalone feature film is scheduled for released in 2018.

The next installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will arrive in theaters May 6, 2016.
