several sources have reported on the info Marvel has released with the start of production on Cap: Civil War....
here's the BC story on it
Marvel's release on the plot
and cast listing...
Sounds much more like an Avengers movie in disguise than a Cap solo film, but sounds interesting anyways. Looks like they will take some of the major themes of Civil War without actually basing the story on the actual comic itself, which is good because it was Millar doing his thing listening to his inner ego rather than writing the actual characters he was using. The concept wasn't a bad idea for an interesting story, but the actual story choices and execution in the comics were horrible as far as I was concerned (and led to a 5 year hiatus from Marvel and mainstream comics altogether for me). From what has been mentioned here, and based on the track record of Marvel Studios, it seems to me they are taking the same basic concept but crafting a better story this time around.

here's the BC story on it
Marvel's release on the plot
Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
