Captain America: The First Avenger is a 2011 American superhero film based
on the Marvel Comics character Captain America. Produced by Marvel Studios
and distributed by Paramount Pictures,[N 1] it is the fifth film in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Joe Johnston,
written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans as
Steve Rogers / Captain America alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving,
Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke,
and Stanley Tucci. During World War II, Steve Rogers, a frail man, is
transformed into the super-soldier Captain America and must stop the Red
Skull (Weaving) from using the Tesseract as an energy source for world
domination. The film began as a concept in 1997 and was scheduled for
distribution by Artisan Entertainment. However, a lawsuit disrupted the
project and was not settled until September 2003. In 2005, Marvel Studios
received a loan from Merrill Lynch, and planned to finance and release the
film through Paramount Pictures. Directors Jon Favreau and Louis Leterrier
were interested in directing the project before Johnston was approached in
2008. The principal characters were cast between March and June 2010.
Production began in June, and filming took place in London, Manchester,
Caerwent, Liverpool, and Los Angeles. Several different techniques were used
by the visual effects company Lola to create the physical appearance of the
character before he becomes Captain America. Captain America: The First
Avenger premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on July 19, 2011, and was
released in the United States on July 22, as part of Phase One of the MCU.
The film was commercially successful, grossing over $370 million worldwide.
Critics particularly praised Evans' performance, the film's depiction of its
1940s time period, and Johnston's direction. Two sequels have been released:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and Captain America: Civil War
(2016).<br /><br />
