Trailing Marvel Studios’
announcement earlier today that
Captain America: The Winter Soldier's principal photography will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, we’ve stumbled across another shooting location prearranged for the forthcoming sequel. During an interview with
Reel Talk with Film DC Podcast, conducted a little over a month ago, the senior communications manager with the DC Film Office, Leslie Green, revealed that Washington, District of Columbia is on Marvel's radar for the Chris Evans-starrer.
“We have the Captain America sequel that should be shooting here in the Spring of 2013,” Green asserted, after being asked to name upcoming projects set to film in D.C.. “So we're very excited about Marvel and Disney coming here for that,” she added.
Although Marvel productions have been prone to shooting in cities that’d double for another location in the film, usually because it’d be too expensive to destroy them on-location, we have certain
obvious reasons to believe that part of
The Winter Soldier story will in fact take place in D.C.. Exact shooting locations in D.C. are unknown, as well as what the scenes will involve. Filming may also occur in New Mexico, according to
Latino Review.
Described as a political thriller, Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will pick-up where the highly anticipated film “Marvel’s The Avengers” leaves off, as Steve Rogers continues his affiliation with Nick Fury and the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D, and struggles to embrace his role in the modern world.
Starring Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joe Russo & Anthony Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “Captain America” first published in 1941 and a comics institution ever since. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is scheduled for release on April 4, 2014. The film is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. And in addition, Marvel Studios will release a slate of films including “Iron Man 3” on May 3, 2013; “Thor: The Dark World ” on November 8, 2013; “Guardians of the Galaxy” on August 1, 2014; and the untitled “Marvel's The Avengers” sequel on May 1, 2015.
