Captain America’s Interesting Facts

This year superhero film Captain America: The First Avenger has hit the box office and has become a critical success in almost every part of the world. Chris Evans has played wonderful role in the movie & has been appreciated for his performance. The character is based on the Marvel Comics superhero Captain America. Comic has been the creator of famous superheroes; Super Man, Iron man, Thor, Bat Man, The Ghost Rider, The Incredible Hunk and many more.

Here are some of the interesting facts of Captain America: The First Avenger.

Captain America: The First Avenger began as a concept in 1997, and was scheduled to be distributed by Artisan Entertainment. However, a lawsuit not settled until September 2003, disrupted the project. After Marvel Studios received a grant from Merrill Lynch, the project was set up at Paramount Pictures.

In 2008, Jhonston was approached to direct the movie. Later Jon Favreau and Louis Leterrier were interested in directing the project but Jon Favreau chose to direct Iron Man. At Last, the film was directed by Joe Johnston, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke, and Stanley Tucci. It is the last solo Avenger film to be released before the team up The Avengers.

Chris Evans declined the role three times before accepting the part. After that, he had a meeting with the director and the producers who convinced him to take the role Alice Eve, Gemma Arterton and Keira Knightley were considered for the role of Peggy Carter. To prepare for her role as Peggy Carter, Hayley Atwell trained six days a week. Emily Blunt turned down the role. This is the fifth live-action adaptation of the superhero. The first was the serial Captain America; the second was the TV movie Captain America and its sequel Captain America II: Death Too Soon; and the fourth was the theatrical film Captain America.

Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for James Logan Howlett (Wolverine) and Erik Lensherr (Magneto), who were present during World War II (Logan was a soldier and Lensherr was a prisoner of war). These cameos were scrapped due to rights issues.

The final Paramount Pictures film produced with Marvel Studios. Disney bought the rights to The Avengers and Iron Man 3. Joe Simon, who created the "Captain America" comic in 1941 (before Stan Lee revived it in 1964), was approached to make a cameo appearance in the film.

Arnim Zola's first appearance, in the form of his face as an image on a television screen, is evocative of the "classic" comic-book Zola, whose body was a headless hulk with a viewscreen on its chest displaying an image of his face. In the 1979 made for TV movies, Steve Rogers makes his living as an artist. As homage, in this newer version, Steve Rogers sketches costumes designs for Howard Stark and is caught doodling pictures of himself as a circus monkey.
