The film ends with Captain America and Bucky defeating Iron Man, and Captain America abandoning his shield. Captain America: Civil War was a critical and commercial success, earning over $1.1 billion worldwide. The film was praised for its action sequences, its performances, and its complex, morally ambiguous storyline. It is widely considered one of the best films in the MCU.
