( CNN ) Marvel is going back to war . The massively popular superhero entertainment factory has the third `` Captain America '' movie on the way , `` Civil War , '' which will include Iron Man and quite possibly , the new Spider-Man . It 's based on a story arc from almost a decade ago , which tackled issues of freedom versus security , with the two heroes going toe to toe against one another . This summer , Marvel plans to revisit that storyline as part of the much larger return of `` Secret Wars , '' its biggest crossover event of the 1980s . The effects of this will be huge to the comics , ending 33 of the company 's titles . CNN spoke to writer Charles Soule , who has gained acclaim for his work on `` Superman/Wonder Woman , '' `` Swamp Thing , '' The Death of Wolverine , '' `` She-Hulk '' and more . He gave us the scoop on the return of `` Civil War , '' one year before it hits the big screen . CNN : What can fans expect from your `` Civil War '' storyline ? Soule : `` Secret Wars '' is an opportunity to revisit some of the great Marvel stories of the past . One of those is `` Civil War , '' and I got the call to work on that . `` Civil War '' happened in 2006 and 2007 , and in that story Captain America and Iron Man went after each other based on an ideological difference on superheroes in the world . What I 'm doing is taking that story in a different direction . CNN : Will this be a way for those who are interested in the upcoming movie to dive into that story ? Soule : Absolutely . If you look at the ideas that that story had , Iron Man thought superheroes should have to register with the government , and become something of a police force . Captain America thought that that was restricting the central freedoms of this country . It was a debate of security versus freedom . We 're taking that basic idea and expanding it to a larger canvas . The Registration Act is all in the past at this point . It 's more of a world drastically changed based on a superhero war , and it 's a huge story and it 's fun to be able to involve every Marvel character there is . CNN : Is this one of the biggest stories you 've worked on ? Soule : I 've been on big books but this one feels huge . It affects every character in one way or another , and it deals with some central issues to the modern world . That 's not always something you get to do in a Marvel story . CNN : So this will have many twists and turns away from the original story ? Soule : The idea is to take some of the events in the original storyline and spin them off into entirely new stories . Without spoiling , this deals with a world that has been ravaged for quite some time when we pick up the story . I felt the original `` Civil War '' explored those questions very well . If I was going to play in this sandbox , I wanted to ask my own questions .
This summer , the popular 1980s `` Secret War '' comic book storyline will return . Story will affect every Marvel comic , ending 33 titles . 2000s ``` Civil War story will also be revisiting , pitting characters against each other .
