60 free Captain America: Civil War trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Captain America: Civil War trivia quiz covers the 2016 film that opened Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and split the Avengers down the middle. The plot questions run from the opening mission in Lagos and the bombing in Vienna to the Leipzig/Halle airport battle, the Siberian bunker and the two credits scenes, and they take in the debuts of Black Panther and Tom Holland's Spider-Man along the way. The harder half is for people who read the making-of features: the working title, the IMAX cameras used for the airport sequence, the Madbomb storyline Marvel kept in reserve, the character cut from an early draft, the studio fight over the ending, the cameos, the salaries and the box office records. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen the film once; the expert ones will test even committed MCU fans. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. If you want the wider universe, try our Marvel and MCU quizzes too.
