LEGO Captain America Civil War is a subtheme of Marvel initially released in 2016 based on the film Captain America: Civil War produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Sets are based on the film's plot in which political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. This deeply divides members of the team as Captain America believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference and Iron Man sharply disagrees and supports oversight.

Long-running lines such as Legends of Chima had recently closed, as LEGO refocused on new concepts and adult display sets.
