Last week, Marvel Studios gave us our first look at Phase Three with the release of the trailer for Captain America: Civil War, and now the official site has revealed that it’s set a new record for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, pulling in 61 million views in 24 hours.
The previous best for Marvel Studios was the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, which generated 34 million views in 24 hours. However, Civil War is some way away from the overall record holder, which was set back in October by fellow Disney release Star Wars: The Force Awakens with 112 million views.
