Another segment from Total Film's visit to the set of Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger film has been revealed, now depicting of another chat conducted with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, as well briefly with 'Howard Stark' actor Dominic Cooper. While Fiege speaks highly on the action scenes, & Cooper briefly on an action scene of his own, read on below.


There's a boom of orange flame and Dominic Cooper (Stunt double) flies out of the shot like Michael J Fox at the start of Back To The Future. Cooper says,"In this scene I'm inspecting something that was found and, although I'm extraordinarily clevor and te best engineer in the world, I blow the entire lab up."


"It's the biggest action film we've ever made, the on-set action was bigger than any film we've done before," he says. "I don't want to give away the secret but we don't really have an Iron Man suit that can fly around. We've got to do it in the computer. Cap is not computer-generated. In the action scenes its him; we've got a great stuntman who brings that stuff to life."

"You want in-camera spectacle? You got it. In the dailies we often couldn't believe how many tanks we had rolling across fields, how many troops we had, just the size and scope of the production," Feige marvels.


Captain America: The First Avenger focuses on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes and Peggy Carter to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull. Starring Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayley Atwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Stanley Tucci and Hugo Weaving, the film releases July 22, 2011.

I hope that he's incredibly agile and not just a man leaping around and throwing his shield... Feige talks a big game but the movies rarely live up to expectation.

Your expectations, maybe. I never expected much out of Iron Man 2, but Thor wasn't as good as it could have been. It felt too average, not nearly as epic enough except for the first part of the movie. I'm really worried about Cap and The Avengers next year, I want them to be amazing because it's a shame that my favorite CBM is still Spider-Man 2.

ComicsCommando - 6/16/2011, 9:52 PM
He said that Thor was going to be a big epic. It wasn't that big, and it really wasn't as epic as he kept making it out to be. He's making Cap out to be this big action movie, a visual spectacle that's also an emotional journey. I just don't want something that feels small and lackluster.

I dont think WW II was "small and lackluster"

ComicsCommando - 6/16/2011, 9:56 PM
Who said I was depressed? I was let down by Thor because it was average and Iron Man 2 because it was lackluster, if you think differently then that's your opinion. Everyone has one. And WWII wasn't small and lackluster at all, but that doesn't mean that it won't be in the movie. Was Asgard and Thor nearly as epic as it was in the comics or even Hulk Vs. Thor? Imo, it really wasn't. The entire film felt like something was holding it back, except for the Jotunheim and earlier Asgard scenes because they were pretty cool and not what I was expecting. What about the Detroyer? Disappointing.

@ comics commando

Not every film fills up to every bodies expectation. Buut i understand where you're coming from.
@VideoColor
If you go on a comic book movie site, you're going to hear us take it too seriously. its a hobby. If you dont like it then either shut up or gtfo. ass.

Intruder is a dick, everyone who reads a few of these posts a day can see that.

I get the Thor thing not being as EPIC as it should have been. The Earth scenes were lacking I felt. The epic parts were the bashing of ice trolls.

I also hope Captain America is super agile and not all stiff. I feel like the action scenes could be what makes/breaks the movie.

I try to have faith in the man that created the Boba Fett costume though.

@VideoColor Douchebag, did you see the site you went to?

ComicsCommando - 6/16/2011, 10:03 PM
TayDee Thor's powers weren't showcased well enough except for the Jotunheim scene, some of the visual effects for the Frost Giants were pretty crappy as well in the final act. Speaking of which, was I honestly the only one expecting more action in the final act of the movie? The Destroyer wasn't as durable as it should be, and the Thor VS. Loki fight wasn't as epic as it could and should have been.

We haven't seen a single shot of Cap flipping around or taking on HYDRA soldiers with his trademark strength and combat skills. They could be saving it for the movie as a surprise and I really hope they are, but I thought the same about Thor and it was a letdown.

ComicsCommando - 6/16/2011, 10:04 PM
No, Intruder. I'm going to sit here and laugh while you continue to be immature like you always do. Do you honestly expect me to reach my fist through the computer screen and teach you a lesson? LOL, give me a break.

I agree with Commando about Thor and Iron Man 2, although I thought Thor was better. He's also right that more often than not CBMs end up being at least somewhat disappointing. I still hold out hope for Captain America (despite Johnston) and any other large scale CBM because no one really knows how good it can be until it is actually released. I like the cast of this film and as long as there is a good story in place it should be very good.

BrotherFromAnother - 6/16/2011, 10:09 PM
I think if Thor was a little longer it would've helped some of those scenes. I felt for what is was it was done well. They took a chance on Thor and won imo.
TayDee
TayDee - 6/16/2011, 10:10 PM
Oh well I can see why you were letdown but they can only detail so much of his powers in a movie that wasn't even two hours long. And plus it would have cost more money.

I disagree with you on the special effects part. And although they were short, it was way more action than IM2

And Cap has another month of promotion so im sure we'll see two more action & stuff in the trailers and tv spots

I'm gunna agree with level1paladin on the intruder issue. You haven't seen Green Lantern yet, so give it a rest. It's just getting immature. Go drink Joe Quesada's KoolAid somewhere else.

Also, what was the point of building that entire town in Thor? I was under the impression that it would be completely obliterated in a brutal Destroyer battle, come to find out that only a few buildings got slightly smashed.

Yeah, TayDee. Thor had more and better action than Iron Man 2 by a long shot. When you buy it on DVD, notice how some of the Frost Giants look pretty CGI in the scene where they step out onto Bifrost for the first time and pass Heimdall. I know that there's always a way to tell if something is CGI in movies even if they look really convincing, but it was like they didn't even try and they looked blatantly cartoonish. For another reference, check out the scene where they sneak into Odin's vault and are attacked by the Destroyer for the first time.

Ryguy88 - 6/16/2011, 10:14 PM
About Thor, I thought it would have been a better movie if they kept on the Frost Giant story line and have Thor and his buds actually try and accomplish something worth while while in Jotunheim. I know the earth scenes were a necessity but they kinda made the character seem to lack importance. The whole Destroyer thing seemed pretty pointless too.
TayDee
TayDee - 6/16/2011, 10:16 PM
^^ im sure thor and the warriors three will have a bigger adventure in the sequel. It only makes sense.
ComicsCommando
ComicsCommando - 6/16/2011, 10:16 PM
No, you're the one that's verbally attacking me because of my opinion. Way to be an asshole, Intruder! And an immature asshole, at that.

Ha ha..love it :D Cap is going to be the capper to an awesome super hero summer! Only one misstep so far from a certain studio ;)

@ComicsCommando Marvel Studio's has hit a home run with all their films. Worry? Please! This is what Cap thinks of your worrying ;)

ellispart3 - 6/16/2011, 10:17 PM
@ComicsCommando hey im fresh to the site, but i see where you're coming from. they were both good movies, but lacked that extra umph. thor, aside from the ice giant fight, wasn't as brutal as i would like him to be. his destroyer battle was okay and too quick. iron man 2 just felt rushed..i loved mickey rourke as whiplash but they didnt let him thrive the way i would of liked.
so yea, i can see being a little apprehensive about capt..but still excited

Guys, remember a Troll is a Troll and if you feed them they keep biting. One response is enough, but an argument with said troll in the comments section doesn't help anyone but the troll.
ComicsCommando
ComicsCommando - 6/16/2011, 10:21 PM
Don't flatter yourself, Intruder. It takes a lot more to get me angry, and I highly doubt it's going to happen because of some internet debate.

Exactly, ellispart3. I fully agree with everything you just said and welcome to CBM! Avoid the trolls, they're vicious.
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 6/16/2011, 10:21 PM
If you stop feeding the troll it'll go away.

@ComicsCommando hey no sweat..this sites fun, ive beena fan for awhile and just manned up to make a fansite to talk some sh*t. i only have 2 articles but they've been fun so far...Which comic book movies REALLY deserves props? and Who could play the Flash?. like i said..im still fresh here.
BrotherFromAnother
BrotherFromAnother - 6/16/2011, 10:28 PM
Loki sent The Destroyer to earth to finish off Thor, The Warriors Three and Sif, a good example of a part that needed to be longer.
I agree with Taydee The next movie they wont need to cover as many plot points and everyone will be given more screen time.

@Intruder Marvel has been doing an amazing job..i was really hoping for a sequel to incredible hulk

No i would say 4/5. I think everybody was let down by IM2.

Me, I would say 3/5 because I didn't care for either iron man.
ellispart3
ellispart3 - 6/16/2011, 10:34 PM
@Intruder yea i heard the news (from here..big ups) and am very excited as well. isnt it going to abc?

Agreed, TayDee.
ellispart3
ellispart3 - 6/16/2011, 10:35 PM
@TayDee i wasn't let down completely by IM2, it def could of been better and im happy they are going with a different director with the 3rd.
