With just a few weeks away from the highly anticipated release of Captain America: Civil War, a series of exhilarating cut-throat battle scenes among Marvel superheroes are revealed in a recently uploaded TV Spot film teaser.

The sixth TV spot movie clip unveils breathtaking showdown between Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman, and Captain America (Chris Evans). In the never-before-seen clash, Black Panther buried his Vibranium claws to Captain America's seemingly impenetrable shield made of the same metal.

In the Marvel universe, Vibranium is an indestructible metal that can only be found in Wakanda- Black Panther's homeland- as reported by Comic Book Resources. The character's suit is apparently made of the same metal as well.

So what makes Vibranium extremely special?

"As far as the storytelling is concerned, the Vibranium is a metal that is dynamic. It can change how it's used. It's not a liquid, but it has the ability to change shape and change form and still have its strength. ...Vibranium is not your typical armor. It's not just about being durable; it has the ability to absorb energy. It's not just like you hit it and it doesn't take it. It has the ability to absorb the attack of another person and repel or respond to that attack. That's part of the power," described Boseman as quoted in a report by the Collider.

Now, most fans are confused over how Black Panther suddenly gets squeezed into the already complex situation between Captain America and Iron Man?

Based on Marvel-savvy personalities like Umberto Gonzalez as reported by Cinema Blend, Black Panther is reportedly on a hunt for the Winter Soldier which happens to be Steve Roger's best buddy, Bucky Barnes. Towards the end of the Winter Soldier installement, Barnes rescued Captain America from fatal drowning. He was never captured and remained at large.

Now, Black Panther (aka T'Challa) enters the scene. The report suggests that Black Panther may have suspected Barnes of murdering his African warrior-dad, King T'Chaka. How the brutal fight scene between Captain America and T'Challa is still heavily riddled with speculations.
