New Captain America: Civil War Stills Feature Spider-Man, Black Panther, More - IGN News One of the most highly anticipated movies of 2016 is the upcoming superhero ensemble piece Captain America: Civil War. After building a universe and lineup of heroes over the course of eight years, well now be able to see all the superpowered individuals duke it out amongst themselves. Hype for Civil War only increased with both trailers for the film, which gave us just enough of a tease, without giving away too much. But now the question is: how good will the film actually be?
Much of the conflict in Civil War revolves around Captain America (Chris Evans) and his relationship and loyalty to his former best friend Bucky aka The Winter Soldier, played by Sebastian Stan. Stan recently spoke out regarding his reaction to seeing Civil War for the first time, saying:
I sat there and basically there was a bowl of candy and fruit and gum in front of me and then there were sparkling waters and I basically sat on the edge of my couch the entire time and ate through the entire bowl of candy. I was overly stimulated with this movie, which Im so proud to be in because everyone is f*****g awesome in it. Everyone is f*****g fantastic. I walked out of it speechless, and I worked on the movie and I was there! I walked out of there and I had back pain from leaning.
Well, thats a glowing review to say the least. Bowl of candy aside, Sebastian Stans comment seems to tell us a something about the upcoming third chapter of the Captain America franchise.
Not that is is a huge surprise, but it seems like were going to be getting a ton of action during Civil War. We all knew that there was going to be a giant super powered battle at the climax of the film, including the brand spankin new Spider-Man, but now it seems that the fighting and battles will be pretty consistent throughout. In order to keep Sebastian Stan, who worked on the project, at the edge of his seat then things must be pretty wild. Considering that Captain America: Civil War has a pretty long runtime of 2 hours and 26 minutes, something big has to happen in order to keep the audiences attention for so long.
Of course, given how epic the newest trailer is, I doubt Ill be bored at anytime throughout the new film. Check it out.
Just like Sebastian Stan said, this movie looks pretty action-packed. So get your bowl of candy and prepare for some minor back problems, because the Civil War is going to be intense.
Captain America: Civil War flies into theaters May 6th, 2016.
Emerson died Thursday night in his home in Santa Monica, California, at age 71, the statement said.
"Keith Emerson"s death is currently being investigated as a suicide," said Sgt. Erika Aklufi of the Santa Monica Police Department.
ELP drummer Carl Palmer confirmed the death of his longtime band mate.
"Keith was a gentle soul whose love for music and passion for his performance as a keyboard player will remain unmatched for many years to come. He was a pioneer and an innovator whose musical genius touched all of us in the worlds of rock, classical and jazz," Palmer said in a statement on social media.
"I will always remember his warm smile, good sense of humor, compelling showmanship, and dedication to his musical craft. I am very lucky to have known him and to have made the music we did, together. Rest in peace, Keith."
Emerson, Lake & Palmer was progressive rock"s first supergroup, according to Billboard. They achieved critical and commercial success with their instrumental prowess and thrilled live audiences with stage antics that often included pyrotechnics.
Emerson was widely considered one of the greatest keyboardists of his generation, fusing rock music with classical and jazz influences, first as a member of The Nice and then with ELP. He was one of the first musicians to experiment with the Moog synthesizer; his showmanship on the Moog, Hammond organ and piano became an integral component of the trio"s performances.
Born on November 1, 1944, in the English town of Todmorden, Emerson was classically trained on the piano as a child and started his career playing R&B. He moved to London in his late teens and joined the band V.I.P."s. He played with Gary Farr and the T-Bones, backing T-Bone Walker before forming The Nice, which got its big break backing soul singer P.P. Arnold.
Emerson started talking to Greg Lake, a founding member of King Crimson, about playing together in late 1969 when their bands shared a bill at the Fillmore West, according to Billboard. The two joined forces in 1970, becoming Emerson, Lake & Palmer after recruiting Palmer, a veteran of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster.
ELP released nine albums, the first five of which reached the Billboard 200"s top 10. Their 1970 self-titled debut included the hit single "Lucky Man" and became an instant classic.
The follow-up, 1971"s Tarkus, "solidified their popularity and distinctive sound -- instrumentally complicated yet sonically cohesive prog-rock mixing classical structures, improvisational jazz and electronics," according to Billboard.
After ELP broke up in 1979, Emerson and Lake continued with a new drummer as Emerson, Lake & Powell. The original trio reunited in the early 1990s to release two more albums.
In addition to his time with ELP, Emerson"s career included solo albums and film scores, such as Dario Argento"s 1980 horror film "Inferno" and the 1981 Sylvester Stallone thriller "Nighthawks."

March 10, 2016 - Cavaliers vs. Lakers - Kobe Bryant Up And Under On LeBron James
As each NBA team is eliminated from contention for the 2015-16 title, The Washington Post will look ahead to what they have in store for this offseason. The series continues with the Los Angeles Lakers, who became the second team eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday night when the Houston Rockets beat the Philadelphia 76ers.
For the vast majority of their existence, its been pretty good to be the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only are they second only to their blood rivals, the Boston Celtics, in terms of championships (16), but through the 2013 season the Lakers had made the playoffs a staggering 60 times in their first 65 years in the league.
Recently, though, things havent been quite as good in Lakerland. This is the third straight year the Lakers will miss the playoffs the first time thats ever happened and the franchise has suffered embarrassing losses in free agency each of the last three summers, as the Lakers failed to land their top targets in any of them. To imagine the Lakers being unable to lure stars to play for them was once unthinkable; now, however, its becoming the expectation.
[Postmortem: The 76ers season is dead. Heres how they can rise again.]
Thats why this summer is so crucial for the franchise. The Lakers currently have the second-worst record in the NBA, putting them in position to potentially keep their first-round pick (if the pick goes outside of the top three, it will head to Philadelphia). Whether the Lakers keep the pick or not, theyll also have to decide what to do with head coach Byron Scott, who has made some curious decisions with the teams young talent, including DAngelo Russell, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft.
That also doesnt take into account the deadline put in place by owner Jeanie Buss for her brother, Jim, as well as general manager Mitch Kupchak, to have the team near the top of the Western Conference again by next season or else both of them will be looking for new employment.
All of this was simply looming inthe background for the past several months as Kobe Bryants farewell tour gave the fans a final glimpse before he rides off into the sunset next month. With Bryant exiting the stage, though, the Lakers inadequacies will be on full display moving forward that is, assuming they cant finally begin to fix them.
2016 draft picks
First round: Their own (if it falls inside the top three picks; if it doesnt, it goes to Philadelphia, via Phoenix, as part of the trade that brought Steve Nash to Los Angeles in 2012)
Second round: Their own
2016-17 salary cap space (with projected $90 million cap)
$59.8 million ($23.1 million committed to six players; $4.9 million to two draft picks; $2.2 million to four roster charges)
2016 free agents
PG Marcelo Huertas (restricted), SG Jordan Clarkson (restricted), PF Ryan Kelly (restricted), PF Tarik Black (restricted), PF Metta World Peace, C Roy Hibbert, C Robert Sacre
Five questions to answer
1. Will Byron Scott remain as the coach?
Its been a strange two years with Scott, a Lakers legend, at the helm. Seemingly brought in to help Bryant have a familiarface around as he plays through his final two years in the league, Scott has often seemed to beworking against the well-being of his teams young players Russell in particular.
[The Spurs success starts with ownership]
Theres little reason, from a performance standpoint, he should remain in the job. This being the Lakers however, you cant dismiss the possibility they keep him around. The most likely outcome though is Scott gets moved aside in favor of a fresh face to help usher in the post-Bryant era.
So who will it be? Golden State Warriors assistant Luke Walton, who grew up in San Diego and spent most of his career playing under Phil Jackson for the Lakers, figures to be the first choice both here and in New York. If Walton opts to take the Knicks job, or just decides its more fun to be working with the Warriors, former Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau would be an obvious choice.
2. Can they keep their draft pick?
When the Lakers acquired Steve Nash back in 2012, they thought the combination of Nash, Bryant, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard would be leading them back to the NBA Finals. Things didnt quite work out that way, as Nash immediately got injured, Howard played through a bad back, Bryant eventually tore his Achilles tendon and the Lakers eventually snuck into the playoffs as the No. 8seed that was promptly swept out of the playoffs.
The longer-term penalty for that trade, though, could come due in May, when the Lakers will head to New York for the draft lottery to see if their horrid season will net them one of the top three picks in this years draft. If it does, Los Angeles will keep its pick, and get another critical building block to add to its young core of Russell, Clarkson and Julius Randle.
If it falls outside the top three, the Lakers will be left with further insult on top of whats already been a painful season for them.
3. What is DAngelo Russells future?
Los Angeles opted to go with Russell last June, with the Lakers saying they felt he had the most star-power of any player in the draft. They passed on big men Jahlil Okafor and Kristaps Porzingis in the process.
[Why Baron Davis left his Hollywood dreams for Delaware]
Then they proceeded to allow their coach to repeatedly destroy Russells confidence with his public statements in the media, and to yankhim in and out of the lineup and rotation repeatedly throughout the first few months of the season.
Not only was this confusing, it was borderline insane behavior from Scott. Figuring out what Russell is capable of should have been the most important thing the Lakers did this season. Instead, they were more focused on making sure Bryant was feted properly at every turn.
Theres no question Bryant deserves every bit of the accolades hes received, but Russell represents the best chance the Lakers have currently to replace him. Hes had his moments of late scoring a career-high 39 points against the Nets March 1, and scoring at least 20 points in six of his last seven games which only makes the earlier treatment of him this season all the more confusing.
4. Will the Lakers finally catch a star in free agency?
The Lakers have long been one of the NBAs glamour franchises, the kind of team that any star player in the league would want to play for thanks to its combination of location and success. But the past three summers have seen that image take a big hit, thanks to the Lakers striking out each year in free agency.
First it was Dwight Howard deciding to leave Los Angeles for Houston. Then it was LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony both saying, Thanks, but no thanks in 2014. Finally, and most embarrassingly, it was LaMarcus Aldridge giving the Lakers a second meeting last summer out of pity after theyd botched the first one so badly.
While Kevin Durant is the obvious free agent prize this summer, there are still other players of consequence available, including Al Horford, Nicolas Batum and DeMar DeRozan, among others. The Lakers will be trying to get difference makers once again on the open market.Well see if this time will be any different.
5. What will be the Lakers post-Kobe identity?
For most of the past 20 years, the Lakers could easily be identified by one man: Kobe Bryant. Thats certainly been the case through the last couple of seasons, as his presence has helped mask just how awful this team has been because fans havent stopped coming out in droves to see him.
Take Thursday night, for example: the Lakers were in a nationally televised game with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the entire focus of the game was on Bryant and James facing off one last time not that the Lakers are in the midst of their third straight embarrassing season.
With Bryant finally set to ride off into the sunset next month though, that distraction is going to be removed, and the Lakers will be forced to confront the reality of the situation they find themselves in. And if they cant begin to pull themselves up out of the NBAs basement soon, the franchises reputation will begin to take an even bigger hit than it already has during its struggles over the past three years.
Paramounts apocalyptic thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane scared away the competition, opening to a solid $1.8 million at about 2,500 locations on Thursday night.
Sonys spy spoof The Brothers Grimsby launched with a quiet $235,000 at Thursday showings. Focus Features faith-based The Young Messiah took in a moderate $475,000 at 1,300 locations in previews. Meanwhile, The Perfect Match scored $155,000 at 790 sites last night.
Disneys second weekend of the animated comedy Zootopia will easily win the frame with at least $40 million following its impressive $75 million debut last weekend.
The launch for 10 Cloverfield Lane is in the same neighborhood as 2011s Super 8, which took in $1.5 million in previews and opened to a $35.5 million weekend, and 2014s Edge of Tomorrow with $1.8 million in previews and a $28.8 million launch.
10 Cloverfield Lane, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr., is pegged for about $20 million at 3,391 locations. Developed by J.J. Abrams Bad Robot Prods. as a spiritual successor to 2008s found-footage horror film Cloverfield, the thriller, which has a modest $15 million budget, is set in a bleak near-future Louisiana.
Critics have offered strong support to 10 Cloverfield Lane with a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Brothers Grimsby, starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Mark Strong, has been forecast to open with about $8 million at 2,235 locations. Thats well below the openings for Baron Cohens Bruno ($30 million), Borat ($26.4 million) and The Dictator ($17.4 million).
Baron Cohen and Strong play long-lost brothers who are reunited while Strongs character is on a spy mission. The film is replete with edgy humor, including a scene in which presidential candidate Donald Trump contracts AIDS.
The Young Messiah, starring Adam Greaves-Neal as Jesus, has been marketed to the Christian community and is pegged to generate about $7 million from 1,761 domestic locations.
The Lionsgate and Codeblack Films romantic comedy The Perfect Match is expected to reel in $5 million at 925 sites. Terrence J, Cassie Ventura, Donald Faison and Paula Patton star in the film.
Captain America Civil War Trailer 2 Breakdown! (Nerdist News w/ Kyle Hill)
Subscribe to UPROXX
The final trailer finally dropped for Captain America: Civil War on Thursday, and Dan already took us through a great GIF breakdown of things we learned from the new footage. Now we continue to speculate on what might happen in the movie because, no, we cant just wait to see it in theaters. Thats madness.
Mr. Sunday Movies whom you may remember from his previous deep dives into the trailers for Suicide Squad, Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Batman V Superman put together the video above going through ten easter eggs to be spotted in the new trailer. Among them is the very Steve Ditko inspired Spider-Man suit with large back logo and constricting eyes, but the suit also seems to have been influenced by Iron Man, who may have helped Spidey build these extra web cartridges into his belt, something I missed on the first viewing:
Full CNN Republican Debate | GOP Presidential Debate March 10 2016 Miami Florida
Mr. Rubio accused Chris Christie of having a record similar to President Obama"s on issues like education, gun control and abortion.
Mr. Rubio, a senator from Florida, and Mr. Christie, the New Jersey governor, are attacking each other with a notable intensity, and in an interview Thursday on Fox Business Network, Mr. Rubio asserted that Mr. Christie has done a number of things that are very similar to the Obama agenda, giving several examples. We looked into his claims.
The fact of the matter is Chris Christie has supported Common Core and in fact has bad-mouthed Republicans that oppose it.
Mr. Christie was previously a supporter of the Common Core education standards. This is one of those areas where Ive agreed more with the president than not, he said in 2013.
But Mr. Christie had plenty of company: More than 40 states adopted the Common Core standards.
Mr. Christies bad-mouthing was also mild, particularly by his standards. He attributed some of the Common Core opposition among congressional Republicans to that knee-jerk reaction thats happening in Washington right now that if the president likes something, the Republicans in Congress dont, and vice versa.
Mr. Christie has since changed his position on Common Core, which has become an object of scorn among conservatives who view it as an example of government overreach. In May, Mr. Christie said that Common Core was simply not working.
Chris Christie has supported gun control. Chris Christie supported an assault weapons ban. Its the reason why he got into politics to begin with.
In 1993, Mr. Christie, then a 30-year-old lawyer, announced that he would try to unseat a Republican state senator.
"The issue which has energized me to get into this race is the recent attempt by certain Republican legislators to repeal New Jersey"s ban on assault weapons," Mr. Christie said in a statement, according to an article at the time in The Star-Ledger of Newark. "In today"s society, no one needs a semiautomatic assault weapon."
He took a similar stance two years later when he was running for the states General Assembly. Even as recently as 2009, when he was running for governor, Mr. Christie supported strict gun laws. FACT: Chris Christie supports the assault weapons ban and all current gun laws, his campaign said in a news release.
Mr. Christie has since moved away from his support of strict gun control laws and opposes banning assault weapons. His campaign website says that as governor, he has fought to defend gun rights, and highlights several instances in which he vetoed gun-related legislation.
In an interview on Wednesday on Fox News, he said that he had changed his mind since 1995, citing his time as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey.
I learned what the limitations are of these laws that people are talking about, Mr. Christie said, and how they much, much more greatly infringe on law-abiding citizens than they do anything to prevent crime.
Chris Christie personally contributed to Planned Parenthood.
This is another claim that dates back to the early days of Mr. Christies political career.
In 1994, Mr. Christie was running to be a Morris County freeholder, the New Jersey version of a county commissioner.
"I support Planned Parenthood privately with my personal contribution, and that should be the goal of any such agency, to find private donations, Mr. Christie was quoted as saying in a Star-Ledger article. The article also quoted Mr. Christie as saying it"s also no secret that I am pro-choice.
Mr. Christies campaign said on Friday that Mr. Christie has no recollection of donating to Planned Parenthood.
Mr. Christie has since changed his views on abortion, and like other Republican presidential candidates, he supports cutting off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. As governor, he has vetoed funding for Planned Parenthood.
Explaining his shift on the issue of abortion rights, Mr. Christie tells a story from 1995, when his wife was pregnant with their second child and he heard the heartbeat of his unborn daughter during a prenatal visit.
On that ride home, I said my position just is not justifiable, he said last summer on Fox News. That"s a life, and I cannot countenance the taking of that life.
