Do you guys know what would be an awesome idea? What if the film starts and ends in modern times.
Have the film start off with SHIELD searching for Captain America in a submarine. Nick Fury is the head of the crew on the Submarine. The crew isn't sure what Fury is looking for, they follow his orders regardless. Then one of the crew gets the guts to ask Fury, " Sir, what exactly are we looking for?" Fury gives an epic response. It all leads to a time lapse back in time.
Then the WW2 era begins.
At the end of the WW2 era part of the film, show Steve Rogers falling in the water to be freeze for nearly sixty-five years. We then switch back over to modern times as Nick Fury finishes up his story.
How do you guys like the idea?
Another way they could do this, is have an 86 year old Bucky Barnes telling the story.
