Tuesday night, Robert Downey Jr. appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and debuted the first trailer for next summer's "Captain America: Civil War."

The movie will pit Captain America against Iron Man. In the comics, the government wants all persons with enhanced abilities to register and reveal their identities. It appears to be the same case here. But the reasons for doing so are a little different.

At the center of the film appears to be Captain America's former friend and supersoldier Bucky Barnes who is on the run after the last Captain America movie.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel:

Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

"Captain America: Civil War" will be released May 6, 2016.

Marvel also released the first poster for the film which asks fans whether they're team Captain America or team Iron Man.
