The character list for Captain America: Civil War looks like Marvel’s most ridiculous roster yet. Not only does it have Captain America, but it’s also bringing out Iron Man, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, Falcon, Hawkeye, Winter Soldier, War Machine, Baron Zemo, Vision, Black Panther, the new Spider-Man and surely some people we don’t even know about yet.

But even with that deep of a role call, one thing is clear from the first trailer for Civil War. This isn’t Avengers 2.5. This is still a Captain America movie through and through.

The trailer doesn’t show us every single person listed above, but it does offer our very first look at Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) in all his glory. It also sets up the film’s premise without really giving much away. Cap wants to protect his friend Bucky Barnes, AKA the Winter Soldier. The government not only wants the Winter Soldier dead, but they also want all of the superheroes to be under their management. Cap disagrees and is willing to fight anyone, even a team lead by Iron Man, for the right of superheroes to do their thing without government oversight.

One thing the trailer doesn’t make clear is where the allegiances will lay in the movie. Thanks to some concept art released by Jeremy Renner, we’ve got that covered.

Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6, 2016.
