During the recent Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards, a new trailer was released including snippets of never-before seen footage. According to Cinemablend, it might have even given away some clues as to the fate of some characters, particularly Bucky (also known as The Winter Soldier). In the trailer, while Iron man and Captain America was having a fistfight, Bucky can be seen lying face down behind Captain America. Moreover, Bucky's metal arm appeared to have been ripped off, adding to the suspicion that he is actually dead. The Winter Soldier being injured is out of the question, but fans will have to wait until the movie launches in May 16<sup>th to know if he survived from his injury or not.

Meanwhile, marvel newbie Tom Holland received praises from "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn, even comparing the teen actor to the late Heath Ledger. Gunn used Twitter as an avenue to express his admiration for Holland's acting prowess, stating "I think Tom Holland is the best Spidey/Peter Parker ever by a country mile," he said. Gunn went on to add, "It's his own thing. He is to Spidey as Downey is to Iron Man, Ledger was to the Joker, Pratt is to Star-Lord."

In the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, the Earth's Mightiest Heroes are held accountable by governments world-wide despite their efforts of saving lives. As a result, the heroes are divided, having different opinions on the matter. Fans anticipate how the story will play out, but as for now, they are counting the days to the premiere.

Captain America: Civil War is directed by brothers Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, produced by Kevin Feige, and under the Marvel Studios production company.
