Why did Captain America: Civil War adapt the Civil War comic storyline instead of a different story?
Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely began adapting the 2006 comic storyline after producer Kevin Feige directed them to incorporate it around their existing ideas for a third Captain America film.
