Jimmy Kimmel set up his special presidential election version of Captain America: Civil War on Monday's Kimmel Live by noting the similarities between the 2016 race and the new Marvel movie: "Both feature former friends who are now enemies, they both feature powerful men and women who are also cartoon characters, and there's a lot of interest in both." In the trailer, Bernie Sanders is Captain America and Donald Trump is Iron Man. Hillary Clinton makes a cameo near the end, but Ben Carson, oddly, gets the best line. Watch below. Peter Weber
