Antique Shop Shootout May Be the Site of Super Soldier Experiment in Captain America Movie

Filming took place at this Brooklyn, NY antiques shop yesterday, but what is it behind the scenes? CBM scoopers are speculating that this is the site of "project rebirth" where the first super soldier was born--namely Captain America. According to Marvel mythos a "curio shop" was the secret laboratory where a skinny Steve Rogers sucked down the super soldier serum and was instantly transformed into the peak of human physical perfection. After the experiment was deemed a success, a German spy shot and killed Dr. Erskine, the serum's creator, and thus the serum could not be duplicated again. Take a look at the cartoon after you watch the video for the full backstory.





Add to that the comments of Dr Erskine himself, Stanley Tucci, in this interview with MTV, where he says he will be doing more filming (probably for this scene) in October, and you get the idea that we're right on target. What do YOU think?



This from MTV...

Back in June, Marvel Studios announced that Stanley Tucci had joined the cast of "The First Avenger: Captain America" as Dr. Abraham Erskine, the German scientist behind Project Rebirth and the inventor of the Super Soldier serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America.

Although Dr. Erskine is a pivotal figure in backstory of "Captain America," very little is known is known about his personality and motivations. When MTV News recently caught up with Tucci, the actor was asked if Dr. Erskine was a mad scientist or a cool, calm and collected researcher.

"He's a combination of both," replied Tucci. "It's so much fun. I did it. I have to go back and finish in October. But I was there for a few weeks in August. It was a great experience."

"Captain America" will report for duty in theaters on July 22, 2011.

Well, this is definitely one very strong theory and I for one think it's pretty likely! Good stuff Galactus! :)

I have one problem with this theory that could result in a plot hole for the marvel studios universe which is:
if the good doctor is killed and the super soldier syrum dies with him how do they then have it some 50+ yrs later in The Incredible Hulk to inject in Tim roths character???

Themagicflipflop@ well if im not mistaken that attempt to recreate the super soldier serum did not go according to plan. it would still be consistent with the fact that it only worked properly on Steve Rogers. and i thought in the Ed Norton movie it was changed so that he turned into the Hulk when trying to recreate the super soldier program also and failing. So it would still make sense that all the CORRECT data dies with Erskine. so yes people try to recreate it but still no one get's right the way Erskine did with Rogers.

According to an Empire article, Black Widow is going to have her own movie: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni4481296/

I thought since this was an marvel orientated article it would a good link to give out here. I havent double checked it or anything but still. Its news!

BMP!

I'd rather they just ignore TIH.

I understand people wanting to maintain continuity, but that whole thing was pretty stupid. So a perfectly usable dose of super-soldier serum was a) Never used to create more super-soldiers and b) Never was duplicated?

Seriously, I do not want to see Rogers as some Wolverine knock off who can recover from having his skeleton shattered in a few hours. I somehow makes him seem less if he can't be reasonably be hurt and he isn't really risking his life.

That being said, maybe the serum used in TIH was the serum created by William Burnside/The 50s Cap/Grand Director, which drove him crazy?

Captain America will be the "Godfather" of CBMs in 2011, if you know what I'm sayin.

A cartoon clip that goofy (yes, I know they couldn't get away with much back then) just adds more to my excitement about the direction of the movie and the more realistic tone of the war. The shootout and driveby definitely points out the reality. Since Erskine IS in the movie, I don't think anyone should be worried about the accuracy of Cap's origin story. And if Erskine dies, then it makes sense for Tucci to be guarded about any information he gives. The movie is going to Absolutely EPIC!.
