In the game of superhero chicken, it appears Captain America has come out on top!
Fans were sent into a frenzy about at the possibility of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Captain America 3” opening on the same weekend – May 6, 2016 – but the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel have caved to the power of the First Avenger, Warner Bros. announced on Wednesday.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” – with Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred – will now hit theaters on March 25, 2016.
