All the projects of the Marvel Film Company can be considered successful - some paintings were a resounding success, others went smoothly and with dignity, bringing their creators, albeit less, but still income.
In the era of satiety of viewers, such a controversial topic as the adaptation of comic books about superheroes turned out to be a gold mine. Well, of course, “Marvel” did not disappoint, showing how to work with the cast and special effects. In this article, we recall where and how the actors of Captain America: Captain America: The First Avenger noted.
Calm before the storm
The movie "First Avenger" was the final project of "Marvel", which told the story of an individual member of the team - the legendary Captain America. As fans joked, all solo films could be considered long trailers for the main action - the Avengers blockbuster. At the time of the premiere, the picture was not particularly memorable - it came out solid, but at the same time quite unremarkable. The only ones who played in the movie "Captain America: Captain America: The First Avenger", the actors secured themselves roles in the entire franchise - some are episodic and some are full-fledged.
Creators
The director of the picture was Joe Johnston, and the producer was Kevin Feigi. Of course, the first thing that the audience sees is the actors and roles. The creators of the movie "First Avenger" saw them that way, thanks to which the cast included Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Hugo Weaving and others. So let's get to know them better ...
"Captain America: Captain America: The First Avenger." Actors and roles of the first plan
In such films, the roles of the first plan are, as a rule, two - the main character and the main villain.
The main character is Captain America, in the world - Steve Rogers. According to legend, he was a weak, sickly kid, but his desire to protect the country was so great that he agreed to become part of the program to create super-soldiers.
The guy was injected with a serum that cured all his illnesses, strengthened his muscles and gave him strength that he could not even dream of. Due to a tragic combination of circumstances, Steve became the only soldier in this program (as everyone believed at that time), since the scientist who improved it was killed. The role of Steve Rogers was played by actor Chris Evans. According to him, he had long doubted whether to agree to the role, and three times rejected the offer. He was scared by the very idea that he would be attached to subsequent projects (Avengers and Captain America) for many years, which would deprive him of the right to choose. Now he laughs at his fears and openly rejoices that the Marvel company managed to convince him. It is easy to understand: in the movie Captain America: Captain America: The First Avenger, the actors became famous and loved around the world;
The main villain is the Red Skull, formerly called Johann Schmidt. The representative of the Third Reich, obsessed with the idea of a superman. He introduced himself a serum similar to the one that Rogers modified, but the consequences were different - in addition to strength, Schmidt got madness and a face that looks like it was peeled off.
Hugo Weaving, familiar to everyone by the role of Mr. Smith from The Matrix, played Schmidt with his inherent skill, rewarding him in equal parts with both impressiveness and grotesque.
"Captain America: Captain America: The First Avenger." Actors and supporting roles
Supporting roles in the movie are more diverse.
James Bucky Barnes Steve Rogers childhood friend, saved by the last of captivity. It is amusing that many viewers did not even notice him while watching the first film about Captain America and were subdued by him only after the release of the second part, where the action takes place today, and Bucky Barnes returns as the Winter Soldier.
This role became so fateful for actor Sebastian Stan, who did an excellent job - his silent mercenary was more eloquent than other central characters.
Peggy Carter. Captain America's heart lady, played by Haley Atwell.
Colonel C. Phillips. A harsh but fair warrior performed by Tommy Lee Jones, who gave Rogers a chance and did not regret it.
Howard Stark The talented inventor and father of Iron Man, Tony Stark, the author of the costume and shield of Captain America, performed by actor Dominic Cooper.
Dr. Erskine. Creator of Captain America in the small but memorable role of Stanley Tucci.
Arnim Zola. The scientist, Red Skull minion and creator of the Winter Soldier, played by Toby Jones.
That's all we wanted to tell you about the movie Captain America: Captain America: The First Avenger. The actors and the roles they played took their place in the constellation Marvel and in the hearts of comic book fans.
