I found some super fun facts on Captain America: The Winter Soldier! The movie releases on 3 April here in UAE and I am a big fan of Scarlett Johansson so couldn't help share it with anyone reading it. Here goes:

Chris Evans truly had mixed martial arts trainingfor Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”as the fighting techniques he employed in the film were a mixture of Parkour, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, karate and boxing.The filmmakers believed that bringing Steve Rogers into the modern day also meant that he had studied and mastered modern fighting styles and techniques.

Shooting in Washington D.C. put Steve Rogers, Black Widow and Falcon in scenes at some of the most prominent national landmarks, including the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, National Air and Space Museum, Capitol Building, National Mall, Occidental Restaurant at The Willard Hotel, DuPont Circle Neighborhood and the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, which the production shut down for the first time ever for the filming of a major motion picture.

Unlike the Avengers that were formed to combat threats that could not be dealt with alone, Captain America is about Steve Rogers. Steve, who is fighting to embrace his role in the modern world in the ever changing times whilst testing his strength. The drama starts when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, and Steve is involved in a web of deception and conspiracy. The conspiracies in turn threaten to put the world in jeopardy. Avengers and Captain America both have managed to keep every move flawless and continuous so as to build and add towards something bigger and better. Steve joins Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, the world’s greatest spies and quite possibly the world’s most skilled assassin. Nonetheless, he has a hard time in trying to render the ever-widening plots while fighting off assailants sent to silence him.

Each event that unfolds makes you learn more and more leaving you with the perfect blend of satisfaction and yet yearning for more. The character interactions, and the closer look at the emotional make-up of the cast, that carries the film from standard superhero action-fest to a truly engaging experience. By the time the full scope of the villainous plot is exposed, Captain America along with the Black Widow muster in the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and terrifying enemy; battling a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent, the Winter Soldier, a killing machine. Only time can tell what awaits them next!

I await the 03 April when the movie releases until then I'll think about writing for some more flicks that interest me! Let me know what do you guys think about Captain America!
