Superhero action movies about the avengers are almost the most profitable Hollywood paintings of the last few years. Several films have already been shot, the plot of which is Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow and the Hulk. Then the company Marvel Studios began to shoot tapes dedicated to a single character from the four.
The action movie "First Avenger: Another War", whose actors mainly migrated from previous films about the Avengers, was released in 2014 and proved to be as commercially successful as all previous films about the four selected superheroes. Who played the main roles in the new creation of the film company Marvel?
Actor Chris Evans as Captain America
"Another War" is a sequel to the picture "Captain America: The First Avenger" and is entirely dedicated to the person of Steve Rogers, that is, the superhero of Captain America. At this stage, the avengers squad has not yet been created, and Captain America has only been hired to work in the Shch.I.T. Special Forces, just like the Black Widow performed by Scarlett Johansson.
In the film “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, actors Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, or rather, their characters, are trying to figure out the traitor in the ranks of his unit who killed the director of Sch.I.T.a, only to get secret information about the latest weapons. As always, superheroes cope with their task at 100%.
Chris Evans, who starred in the film, played Captain America in all the adaptations dedicated to the Avengers. This is not the first time the actor has collaborated with the film company Marvel Studios: in 2005, he gained popularity by playing the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier": actors. Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is also a permanent member of the Avengers saga. The actress got the role of the special agent of the Black Widow, whose real name is Natasha Romanova.

The Black Widow wears everything black to complete tasks, also has excellent command of various martial arts, and has a flexible body.
Scarlett Johansson did not complain about the lack of popularity even before participating in the series of films about the Avengers: in the piggy bank of the actress there were main roles in such famous films as “Translation Difficulties”, “Girl with a Pearl Earring”, “Prestige”, “Another Boleyn Family " etc.
However, not a single film has doubled the income of the actress as the Avengers franchise. For the first time, the image of the Black Widow Scarlett tried on herself in 2010, when she starred in the film "Iron Man-2." This reincarnation brought the actress $ 20 million.
Stan as a Winter Soldier
Sebastian Stan made his debut on screens in 2003, starring in the series Law and Order.
