Welcome to the wild party! Looking forward to this amazing cast."

Marvel Studios has commenced principal photography at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, Georgia on "Captain America: Civil War," the third installment of its Super Hero franchise. The production will shoot on location in Atlanta, Georgia, which serves as the base for the film's production, as well as locations in Germany, Puerto Rico and Iceland.

Set for release in the United States on May 6, 2016, "Captain America: Civil War" is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Community") from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely ("Captain America: The Winter Solider," Marvel's "Captain America: The First Avenger"). The film returns Chris Evans ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron") as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America along with Robert Downey Jr. ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," Marvel's "Iron Man 3") as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier") as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Captain America: The First Avenger") as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier") as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Paul Bettany ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Iron Man 3") as The Vision, Jeremy Renner ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," Marvel's "The Avengers") as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Don Cheadle ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Iron Man 3") as Jim Rhodes/War Machine and Elizabeth Olsen ("Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Godzilla") as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

After his debut in Marvel's "Ant-Man" on July 17, 2015, Paul Rudd ("Ant-Man," "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues") will make his first appearance alongside the Avengers as Scott Lang/Ant-Man in "Captain America: Civil War."

"Captain America: Civil War" picks up where "Avengers: Age of Ultron" left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
