Manga-Inspired CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Poster Art by FAIRY TAIL’s Hiro Mashima
As a way to celebrate the premiere of Captain America: Civil War in Japan, Rave and Fairy Tail manga creator Hiro Mashima created two cool posters for the film in his art style.
The first poster is a large scale print that features Iron Man and Captain America in the heat of battle. The other poster features characters from Mashima's Fairy Tail manga series divided into two groups in an intense stare off, which is based on the designs of other Civil War posters that have been released. That was a mini poster that was given to audience members who attended opening night of the film.
According to Anime News Network, “Mashima is a self-professed fan of the Avengers series while Marvel's vice president of international business development & brand management C.B. Cebulski is a fan of Mashima's work.”
Cebulski is working out of Shanghai to "spearhead efforts to further manage and develop Marvel's brand in Asia." He asked Mashima to create the Civil War poster and Mashima excitedly reacted saying, "I cannot believe Marvel authorized me to draw Iron Man and Cap!"
I also included a few new TV spots for the film for you to watch.
