Short description
After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America is living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on a series of comics by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.
- Although the filmmakers claim to have used a minimum of computer graphics, five graphics studios were responsible for the special effects.
- To prevent information leaks and potential spoilers, the film was given the working title "Freezer Burn".
- "Tetrodotoxin b" (the substance that slowed Fury's heartbeat) is a pufferfish poison. It is lethal to the body and is not used for such purposes.
- Anthony Mackie described this film as “Avengers: Part 1.5.”
- The film's director, Joe Russo, appeared in the movie as a doctor saving Black Widow from blood loss.
- Anna Kendrick, Felicity Jones, Imogen Poots, Teresa Palmer, Alison Brie, Emilia Clarke, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Elizabeth Olsen, and Jessica Brown Findlay were considered for the role of Sharon Carter.
- On the headstone of Director Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, an epitaph is visible alongside his name: 'The path of the righteous man: Ezekiel 25:17'. This is the same verse spoken by Samuel L. Jackson's character in the film 'Pulp Fiction' (1994).
- In the Russian theatrical version of the film, in the scene where Steve Rogers takes out a notebook with a list of significant things, it includes "Star Wars," "Rocky" (1976), and "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" (1979). Vladimir Vysotsky, Yuri Gagarin, and the dissolution of the USSR are also noted on the list. Similarly, for each major country or region (USA, UK, Spain, France, Australia, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Latin America, Russia, and Korea in particular), its own first half of the list was created, including the most iconic works of cinema and events in society for that country. Items for the list were selected by voting in each specific region. However, a unified version from the American release version was released on digital media.
- As part of preparation for filming, Anthony Mackie did not participate in any skydiving training. However, he maintained a regimen prescribed to all jet pilots.
- A deleted scene from The Avengers (2012), where Steve learns what happened to his squad and Peggy Carter, was included in this film.
- When Captain America interrogates Jasper Sitwell, his mention of Stephen Strange is a reference to the comic book character Doctor Strange.
- At the 63rd minute of the film, a computer projection of Dr. Zola states that Natasha Romanoff was born in 1984. Later in the film, at the 71st minute, Johansson's character states that she apparently "traded the KGB for Hydra." The Committee for State Security of the USSR existed from 1954 to 1991, which means that Natasha Romanoff was a member of this organization when she was still a very young child.
- Captain America's shield absorbs all vibrations, therefore it cannot ring or make any other sounds, as sound is vibration.
- Kevin Feige described this film as a '1970s political thriller disguised as a superhero movie'.
- A book by George W. Bush can be noticed on a shelf in Captain America's apartment.
- Filming took place in California, Washington, and Cleveland. It began in April 2013 and ended in July.
- Kevin Feige described this film as a “1970s political thriller disguised as a superhero movie.”
- Anna Kendrick, Felicity Jones, Imogen Poots, Teresa Palmer, Alison Brie, Emilia Clarke, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Elizabeth Olsen, and Jessica Brown-Findlay were considered for the role of Sharon Carter.
- Georges St-Pierre, who plays Batroc the Leap, was a UFC welterweight champion (from 2007 to 2013).
- The soundtrack for the film's trailer was created by Russian composers Alexander Sokolov, a member of the band “I am waiting for you last summer,” and Anton Novoseltsev.
- Captain's new suit is taken from the comics. He wore a similar one when he held the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- While creating the film, directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo drew inspiration from the movie 'Three Days of the Condor' (1975).
- Filming of the battle scene on board the massive ship called "Lemurian Star" took place on board a real missile cruiser docked in the Port of Long Beach, California.
- To prepare for his role as the Winter Soldier, Sebastian Stan underwent five months of physical training and historical research. He studied the Cold War period and the topic of brainwashing in detail. He also spent entire days practicing movements with a plastic knife so that they would look more natural on screen.
- Anthony Mackie described this film as 'Avengers: Part 1.5'.
- Filming began on April 1, 2013, at Manhattan Beach Studios. The scene of the attack in the elevator was filmed first.
- In the Russian theatrical version of the film, in the scene where Steve Rogers takes out a notebook with a list of significant things, one can see "Star Wars," "Rocky" (1976), and "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" (1979). The list also includes Vladimir Vysotsky, Yuri Gagarin, and the collapse of the USSR. Similarly, for each major country or region (specifically the USA, UK, Spain, France, Australia, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Latin America, Russia, and Korea), a unique first half of the list was created, featuring the most iconic cinematic works and societal events for that country. The items for the list were chosen by vote in each specific region. However, the unified version from the American theatrical release was used for digital media.
- On the tombstone of Director Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, in addition to the name and surname, the epitaph "The path of the righteous: Ezekiel 25:17" is also visible. This verse was spoken by Samuel L. Jackson's character in "Pulp Fiction" (1994).
- On May 13, 2013, the film crew arrived in Washington. There, they filmed scenes featuring Steve Rogers, Black Widow, and Falcon against the backdrop of the most famous landmarks of the US capital, including the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the National Air and Space Museum, the Capitol, the National Mall, the Occidental restaurant in the Willard Hotel, the Dupont Circle area, and the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, which was closed for the first time in history for the filming of a feature film.
- When creating the film, directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo drew inspiration from the film "Three Days of the Condor" (1975).

- The film is based on a comic book series by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

- As part of his preparation for the role of the Winter Soldier, Sebastian Stan underwent five months of physical training and historical research. He studied the Cold War period and the topic of brainwashing in detail. He also practiced movements with a plastic knife for hours on end to make them look more natural on screen.
- To reach the secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Captain America descends in an elevator to a depth of tens of feet. However, when an enemy appears, the heroes repeat the same path faster, descending to a much shallower depth.
- The filming of the film's largest battle scene took place on the streets of Cleveland and was carried out by two full-fledged film crews. For this, many streets had to be closed, including access to the Cleveland Memorial – one of the country's main highways. The film crews worked for three weeks during the height of the summer tourist season. To convince Cleveland officials to allow filming during this period, the filmmakers had to gain the support of a large number of people, including the mayor, governor, and head of the county executive branch.
- To add realism, the film was shot on a handheld camera.
- S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fighters are the most advanced of their kind. But one guy with a small number of grenades blows up the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. air fleet in 3 minutes.
- The scene where Captain America jumps from the plane without a parachute is clearly a reference to a similar scene from the first issue of the comic series The Ultimates.
- Anthony Mackie was unhappy with the modern look of his character's (Falcon) costume. He wanted a red spandex suit, like his character wears in the comics.
- A deleted scene from "The Avengers" (2012), in which Steve learns what happened to his squad and Peggy Carter, was included in this film.
