As for the interview portion, Evans and Downey, Jr. kept things light, talking about their friendship and their experience filming together this past summer.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”), “Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, with Evans’ Steve Rogers leading a new team of heroes. But after another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to institute a system of accountability and government oversight, creating a fracture within Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as they try to protect the world from a new threat.
