I just thought about this in the midst of The Avengers hype and success. I think it's a bit risky, but I won't lie and say I'm not curious to see it done.
What do you think?

If Void was here, he would be flipping a table right about now.
I really doubt it. It would hinge on making Robert Downey Jr. play the hugest douche possible, and everyone similarly out of character.

a movie? no, because it'd require way more build up and a hell of a lot more characters in one movie than Avengers
but a ten part mini series on say HBO or Showtime on the other hand...

If it's done like the comic then NO, I would have liked Civil War a tad more if Miriam Sharpe was a skrull
Get a better writer on board then maybe, But i'll be wary

I think it could. But you need ALOT more movies to make it work. Marvel also needs X-Men back in particular as well as FF. Need Dr Strange, Black Bolt, Panther and Namor movies. And that is for the build up alone.
Need at least a couple more Thor Movies to build up him going away.
Another Hulk Movie to show him going more insane and the need to ship him off.
Etc...

I hope not. That story was awful.

It didn't work as a comic, so why would it work as a movie? I don't understand what anyone sees in that comic to this day. Annihilation and 52 were both better events that blew Civil War out of the water in every way.

Depends. Do you want to do irreparable harm to the Iron Man/Tony Stark character to movie audiences? If so, then yes, it would work.

In the movie verse, it would probably make more sense for Tony to be the rebel and Cap to be the big supporter of the law.

Annihilation and 52 were both better events that blew Civil War out of the water in every way. The comic sucked because of the execution, that's why it didn't work. As a concept, Civil War is really intriguing. The one huge mistake they made with the comic was that they quickly decided that they needed a clear-cut "heel" side in the argument, which ruined it altogether. The entire idea of making fans see both sides of the argument was completely lost at that point. For it to work on film, what they would need to do is give both sides valid arguments, and write both sides to still commit heroic acts and have open discussions amongst themselves about the good they're trying to do. When things finally come to blows, it should end with them having to unite against a common enemy. It's a good concept, but yeah, the books sucked.

That is what I liked about the whole build up with the Illuminati was that both sides seemed to have legitimate arguments. Then it turned to Namor yelling at everyone for not agreeing with him.

I agree that the fact that the anti-registration side were the obvious faces was awful because it is a product of one of the comic's biggest flaws: lots and lots of mischaracterization. Regardless, I Don't Need Your Civil War should be all anyone needs for that storyline. I say Marvel should skip Civil War and just do Squadron Supreme

I didn't like the Illuminati angle. It was a retcon pulled straight out of the creators' butts. They've existed this whole time and don't really seem capable of effecting meaningful control over events. One of the reasons I think Marvel is no good at big crossovers - they don't carefully seed their stories so that the events actually feel like continuity hinted or built up to them.

I would watch Civil War, and any marvel related thing if they add the throw away joke of Howard trying to registrar and is taken aside by the government.

From the Avengers, it'd end up being Cap/Hawkeye/Black Widow/SHIELD v Iron Man/Thor/Hulk I don't know, Steve Rogers seemed to be done trusting SHIELD as soon as he found the HYRDRA weapons. Now that I think about it, wouldn't Civil War be much cooler on film if it ended up being the Avengers against SHIELD? You could even have Nick Fury defect to the Avengers side after SHIELD is taken over by the government after he stood against them during the alien invasion. So you'd have Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Widow, and Fury vs. SHIELD now lead by Maria Hill. Could be super badass.

"Hey the six of you, you need to register!!"
I'm Tony stark, everyone knows that.
I'm a god who doesn't live here.
We're two regular people who aren't super-heroes, and work for a spy agency.
When I joined the army, you got all my info.
Same here, and I didn't even make the avengers movie but maybe IM 3
You already know who smashes, don't you?
==
For about 1,000 reasons doing a Civil War storyline in world with only five people who have super-powers is silly. It's not like the villains identities are kept secret. The Superhuman Registration Act doesn't make sense without super-heroes.

There aren't enough heroes established, it'd cost waaaaay to much to pay their actors, and really, the Civil War isn't all that good.
The only real selling points are the two sides of heroes and the way Cap and Iron Man are on the opposite sides of what people would think they'd be.
