But the studio, which was acquired by Walt Disney Co. last year, concluded that London was the best location for "Captain America," largely because the story is set in Europe and will feature a number of scenes in London such as Piccadilly Circus...

Good, always better when it's filmed on-location.

The real problem is your bloody spelling!

In the comics, Captain America was overseas fighting in world war II before he got frozen in an iceberg and revived in the (70's ?).

I have two big gripes about this film though. They picked the guy who played "Johney Storm, the Human Torch" from the "Fantastic 4" movies to play Cap. Not only that, they're going to start Cap off as being a singer and dancer in the USO instead of him being a soldier.

In the comics, he was a sickly, yet highly patriotic guy who really wanted to join the military and fight for his country during WWII. He failed the physical, but he qualified for a top secret army project to chemically enhance soldiers to make them into super soldiers. The formula worked and Cap became the greatest possible human physical specimen. Then an accident or something killed the scientist responsible along with the formula so no one knew how to duplicate the results. Anyway, they sent Cap overseas to fight against Germany where he was pretty much equal to an army batallion.

He was never a singing and dancing guy from the USO !!!

Basically what they're doing is making movies about all "The Avengers" individually.. all origin stories for the most part, and then they're going to put them all into their Avengers movie. "Ant Man" and "Black Panther" are also on the movie agenda.

I wish they would do a "Cloak and Dagger" movie. Those two were my favorite heroes back in the 80's. Nah. Hollywood would probably F' it all up.
