EXCLUSIVE: Has Filming On Captain America Already Begun In Liverpool?

It would appear that Captain America: The First Avenger may have already started filming in Liverpool! Hit the jump for all the details on that and more on the recent submarine rumours...

Last week, I posted a story about some new Captain America: The First Avenger filming locations. One of these was Albert Dock in Liverpool where it was rumoured that they'd be doing a scene including a submarine. A few days later I recieved an email from Liam, a resident of the city, who lives in that area.

He shared a fair bit of interesting information with me. The first bit unfortunately sheds some doubt on them using a submarine in the area which many of us speculated could have something to do with Namor or the discovery of Bucky's body by the Russians. Here's what he had to say: "Albert Dock has been very much contemporized over the year...you’d be able to see the shop fronts and if they use the actual river you face either the sand logged side or the side where you can see all the oil boats."

Of course, CGI can deal with these sorts of issues but it certaintly sounds like they'd have their work cut out for them if they decided to film there. However, the most interesting part of the information that was sent to me was this:

"I live on Princes dock which is two minutes away from Albert Dock and even now at half nine on a Sunday morning there’s a small crew filming two people in what looks like WW2 attire."

Although he pointed out that they didnt have any sort of "Hollywood" type equipment, this could have still been a crew linked with the Marvel Studios movie filming either a minor scene that didnt require a huge amount of workers or doing camera tests for when Joe Johnston and the rest all head there in September as I recently reported. After all, it seems a little coincidental that actors dressed in WWII garb would be there so soon before the blockbuster films in the same location!

And remember, if you have any information or pictures about the Captain America movie, you can get in touch with me by clicking on "Contact Me" at the top left hand side of this page!

haha, howdy UK? Hows tricks? Yeah I'v deleted that crap twice now, Big G always devours em anyway.

Excellent stuff Josh. My guess is that its test shots, in costume. They are probably just getting a feel for how the location will look with the actors etc. Course they could be shooting actual scenes, but like you said, without the whole big budget film crew mularky its doubtful. You should ask your source to see if he can get any pics of the guys sometime!

Thanks for your comments guys! :D I'm just lucky a few of our regular reader have contacted me with info like this! When Captain America comes to Caerwent is when I'll be doing some real detective work...I'll get those set pictures even if I have to get arrested in the process, lol!

DCMF: Dramatic 1940's car chase!? I've heard nothing about that! Details please!

PETE: LMAO, it is indeed 9.30am! :P

ukboy: Hey bud! It would be awesome even if you only got pictures of the signs surrounding the set! Anything would be brilliant! After all, it's rare we get anything like this in the UK so we'd best take advantage of it!

ROR: Yeah, I'd say you were pretty spot on with that. I mean, I guess it could have been just a few small scenes that they'll insert in the movie but it's far more likely they were just testing out the area before actually going there to film with a full crew! I was actually hoping he'd taken a few pictures (but if he did, he didnt send me any unfortuantely) although I'm still waiting for a reply about that so fingers crossed!

This is great news for the North West, I'm sure NorthWest Vision + Media, introduced the films production team to all the facilities houses, kit, camera and crew teams here as well! Oh no scrub that they didn't do any of that! Anyone get a visit, a call, anything? Anyone even on the NWV+M website thats still actually trading! American film, London crew, same old!
