All the world of Marvel lovers had seemed to come to Hollywood Tuesday night to attend the world premiere of 'Captain America: Civil War,' which will hit the theatres on May 5.

The superstar Robert Downey Jr walked on the red carpet for the premiere show at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, Tuesday. The 51-year-old had his wife Susan with him. Other visitors included Emily VanCamp, Chris Evans and Paul Bettany.

Watching the show got some good comments about the fight sequences. "From The Winter Soldier, [directors] the Russo Brothers wanted to amp it up a notch," said stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave. "We were tasked with giving each character a new fighting style ... and we tried to mix that with the same hard-hitting action as the second film, and I think we outdid ourselves," especially during a "fight in the stairwell. Look for it," he said.

The actor Paul Bettany had some good ideas about his uncomfortable makeup role-----playing his metallic red-colored character, Vision. Did he manage to get through the long shoots?

"I have to wear a cooling suit underneath the suit that's like a radiator that pumps freezing-cold water so I don't lose my mind and rip off the makeup," he said. "It's a lovely feeling if you're in 110-degree Atlanta heat. It's suddenly like being in a gin and tonic, which is a very nice place to be."

Daniel Brühl, who is a new actor in this movie, explained that he was bowled over by the sets here. "It's all bigger," he said. "When I was on set in Atlanta, I became a 12-year-old boy." He claimed that his body got superheated, especially as he had to shoot a scene and had to look "somewhere faraway in a very cold place."

Still, the hot sets and Bruhl's Canada Goose jacket marked out the scene.

Why don't Captain America and Iron Man be friends, or get along? "Politics," said Downey. Both friends are at polar opposites during the Civil War.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, is working with members of the Avengers for a movie production. According to executive producer Nate Moore, "Tom Holland's introduction scene is so funny and so fun," he said. "Peter Parker doesn't live by himself, so we get to meet another new face in the Marvel Universe: Aunt May, Marisa Tomei."

Just seeing Spidey made a number of fans scream with delight and clap.

Tom Holland had brought his younger brother for the premiere.
