Team Cap or Team Tony? It’s becoming as defining a question as Coke or Pepsi, or Beatles or Rolling Stones. In today’s Movie Morsels, we draw your attention to some new promo videos that may help you decide your answer, or at least get you even more stoked for Captain America: Civil War! Plus, the latest on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Finding Dory, and more!
Captain America: Civil War
In anticipation of today’s new full Captain America: Civil War trailer, the good folks at Marvel have unleashed two new videos featuring the lineup of heroes on both sides of this tragic conflict. They look more than a little like TV football promos. Unfortunately we can’t actually embed these videos in Movie Morsels (damn you, Facebook!), but you can check out the campaign for Team Captain America—consisting of Cap himself (Chris Evans), the Falcon (Anthony Mackie), the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan)—here, while Team Iron Man—composed of ol’ shellhead (Robert Downey Jr.), the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), the Vision (Paul Bettany), the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Warhead (Don Cheadle)—can be seen here. Will the best team win… or will both teams lose?! We’ll find out when Captain America: Civil War opens on May 6.

(“High on believing. The Guardians of the Galaxy and frenemies,” writes Gunn.) His latest photo includes a curiously non-bald Karen Gillan (don’t worry; as the filmmaker assures us in the comments, Nebula will still be bald), Zoe Saldana assuming the role of Rocket, and what I believe is our first photo of actress Pom Klementieff (a.k.a. Mantis, one of my favorite ’70s Marvel heroes) on the film’s Atlanta set…
*Spoiler alert* Rumors continue to circulate that Sylvester Stallone will appear in Guardians 2, with the actor sighted leaving an Atlanta hotel last week with what looked like a script in hand. But who would Sly play in the production? On Location Vacations (per Coming Soon) claims they’ve heard the actor will appear in the film wearing a costume similar to that of Judge Dredd, whom he played in the 1995 megabomb. Hmmm…
