Captain America: The Winter Soldier celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have marked the occasion by sharing some never-before-seen behind the scenes content.
The Russo Bros. made their big Marvel movie debut with The Winter Soldier, and that movie kicked the MCU into a whole near gear! That’s still one of the best Marvel movies that’s been made!
Marvel needs to look at that movie for inspiration as they move forward with developing future projects because that’s the bar of excellence that they need to strive for.
Joe and Anthony Russo shared some photos and videos on their Instagram page that shows Chris Evans’ Captain America stunt double in action, the Triskelion under attack, Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce, and more. The filmmakers have also shared some interesting insights into shooting the film.
The post came with the following note:
It’s officially been 10 years since the release of Winter Soldier and the beginning of our time at Marvel. How time flies…
“And here’s some old notes we found describing how we shot most of the handheld action in Winter Soldier:
50mm and 75mm work best with a 45 degree shutter. 75 allows you to track very specific moments. Knife catch, etc. You can chase your characters in close ups with the 75, and highlight emotional beats. Requires a steadier hand.
The 50 is the workhorse though. It gets you the action with a visceral, kinetic energy. But the eye has an easier time following it than the 75. Anything over 75 mm on a 45 degree shutter is incoherent. 40 mm is best if you want to include both actors in the same frame.
Evans recently talking about working on The Winter Soldier: “It’s my personal favorite Marvel movie that I was a part of. It’s not just for the movie itself but the experience.”
He added: “The first film, I was so nervous. You know what you’re stepping into and as a result you’re playing defense and you’re playing not to lose.”
The actor continued: “When ‘Winter Solider came around, we were playing to win. And it’s the first movie with the Russo Brothers. We were taking more risks, and the character felt more fleshed out. It was one of the more satisfying experiences I’ve had in my Marvel run.”
