Captain America Civil War is the latest Marvel film, and on paper, like most of the Marvel movies, it shouldn’t work.
Let’s do the math. The first Iron Man starred a washed up Robert Downey Junior and was directed by John Favreau who’s only other action flick was the 2005 box office bomb Zathura: A Space Adventure. Iron Man had ZERO name recognition outside of hardcore comics nerds, and of the various heroes Marvel had at their disposal, was the least recognizable.
