Only one major new release hits theaters this week, but that's hardly going to keep people from filling up theaters.

It's the return of the enormously popular "Avengers" franchise, with the latest entry starring everyone's favorite star-spangled superhero with a shield.

After the events of "The Avengers" nearly obliterated New York, Captain America returns to Washington, D.C., only to uncover a massive conspiracy that leads him to face off with his most dangerous enemy yet.

Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo

Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford
