The disagreement arises after the United Nations proposes the Sokovia Accords, a document that seeks to regulate the actions of the Avengers and hold them accountable for collateral damage.

The team becomes divided into two factions: Team Cap, led by Steve Rogers, who believes in the importance of individual freedom and the right to make their own decisions, and Team Iron Man, led by Tony Stark, who supports the government’s oversight to avoid further destruction and loss of innocent lives.

Amidst this ideological struggle, a new threat emerges in the form of Helmut Zemo, portrayed by Daniel Brühl, who manipulates events to create a rift between the Avengers, seeking vengeance for the loss of his family during the events of “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
