Became the main villain Red Skull (Red Skull) with the appearance of the appropriate nickname. Captain America himself dressed in a suit in the colors of the American flag and stars, and is armed with an indestructible shield steep. Here is such a magic man.



It is clear that such a popular story noticed in Hollywood. The first film "Captain America» (Captain America) comes out in 1944. The main role in the film played Dick Purcell (Dick Purcell). By the way, he died of a heart attack after the shooting at the age of 35 years.



Next came in 1979 TV film series "Captain America» (Captain America) and "Captain America 2: Death Too Soon" (Saptain America II: Death Too Soon) with Rebom Brown (Reb Brown) in the title role.



The third birth of Captain America on the silver screen had in 1990. Then came the low-budget "Captain America» (Captain America), which tells how Captain America became a superhero. Starring Matt Salinger (Matt Salinger).

However, the creators have seen in this role only Chris Evans (Chris Evans).

After much persuasion studio Evans gave in and agreed to play the comic book legend.

The role of the protagonist's girlfriend Peggy Carter refused Emily Blunt (Emily Blunt). Then, for participation in the film was invited Hayley Atwell (Hayley Atwell). It is said that for her role she trained six days a week. I do not believe.



It is a pity that Blunt refused.
