French website Cine-Heroes have provided us with a translation of a recent visit to the set of Captain America: The First Avenger, where plenty of new scene and story details were revealed to them!

"The story begins today in full Arctic lands with the discovery of the body of Steve Rogers in hibernation." Said Chief Rick Heinrichs decoration. "Then we come back in flashbacks sixty years earlier, with an attack on a Norwegian village by the Nazis."
The writers have therefore chosen to mix the original story of Captain America 39-45 war veteran with his modern version in which he was drafted today in the deep ocean to start a new life in a world that no longer recognizes (there is already shaping the plot of The Avengers).
Meanwhile, Captain America: The First Avenger intends to satisfy fans of films about the Second World War by proposing the quota of action, realism and the kind of glamor that entails. A distinction that Broussard is keen to tackle a different genre for each film is important to not keep repeating the same stories of superheroes. It’s the only way for Marvel to keep its freshness. The war film is here a framework that subverts unexpectedly.
In a scene of underground laboratory which happens to be the cave of retro Howard Stark, Tony Stark’s dad (Iron Man), Joe Johnston we look head a scene in which Howard (Dominic Cooper) is projected five-meter back by the blast of an explosion. Johnston, an old broken branch to big Hollywood film shoots and craftsman in precious digital age, will not talk to us. But Stephen Broussard vouch for him: "Listen, Joe is the guy who storyboard the truck chase from Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is difficult not to agree with him"
But these doubts have disappeared lorsqu’Evans immediately donned the famous blue suit. "Cap fascinates me," concludes the actor. "His righteousness, his inflexibility...I do not think that Simon and Kirby wanted to make the symbol of America. He embodied the free world rather an ideal of justice to recover. They could call it Captain Captain Good or Right. But there is no doubt that it sounded worse."
Captain America: The First Avenger is set to be released on July 22, later this year!
