Captain America: Civil War (Hollywood, 2016)
The movie that introduced Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is also a memorable throw down between superheroes.
Captain America and Iron Man go head to head as they end up with clashing beliefs on how to move forward with the Avengers. The spectacular action set piece in the airport alone is worth the price of admission.
