Movies that feel likeCaptain America: Civil War (2016)

Following the events of Age of Ultron, the collective governments of the world pass an act designed to regulate all superhuman activity. This polarizes opinion amongst the Avengers, causing two factions to side with Iron Man or Captain America, which causes an epic battle between former allies.

If you loved Captain America: Civil War, the closest films we have are Black Panther (2018), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). All three share Captain America: Civil War's epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Thunderbolts* (2025).
