Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced on Tuesday the release of a new free DLC for LEGO Marvel's Avengers that brings the cinematic universe of Captain America: Civil War to the gaming world.

Inspired by the new movie, the Civil War Character Pack further expands on the roster of superheroes featured in the game. The DLC features nine new playable characters including: Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man (Mark 46), Agent 13, Crossbones, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Bucky Barnes and War Machine.

While Black Panther and Crossbones are making their video game debut, the pack unfortunately does not come with Spider-Man and his wonderful, wonderful eyes.

Warner Bros. and TT Games announced the DLC in a new trailer that showcases the new characters in action. LEGO Marvel's Avengers allows gamers to replay some of the best moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Avengers: Age of Ultron and Thor: The Dark World, along with content from Marvel Comics, while playing with characters from the Avengers.

The game also features over 100 Marvel characters with each have their own abilities.
