Captain America: The Winter Soldier celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and directors Joe AND Antonio Russo celebrated 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 high gear! It’s still one of the best Marvel movies ever made!
Marvel needs to look to that film for inspiration as they move forward with developing future projects because that is the bar of excellence they need to strive for.
Joe and Anthony Russo shared some photos and videos on their Instagram page showing Chris Evans’Captain America stand-in in action, the Triskelion under attack, Roberto Redford like Alexander Pierce and more. The makers also shared some interesting insights into the filming of 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 are some old notes we found describing how we shot most of the action handheld in Winter Soldier:
50mm and 75mm work best with a 45 degree shutter. 75 allows you to track very specific moments. Knife catcher, etc. You can chase your characters in close-ups with the 75 and highlight emotional beats. It requires a steadier hand.
The 50, however, is the workhorse. He makes you experience the action with a kinetic and visceral energy. But the eye can follow it easier than on the 75. Anything beyond 75mm on a 45 degree shutter is inconsistent. 40mm is best if you want to include both actors in the same shot.
Evans recently talked about working on The Winter Soldier: “It’s my favorite Marvel movie I’ve been a part of. It’s not just the movie itself but the experience.”
He added: “The first movie, I was so nervous. You know what you’re getting into and as a result you play defense and you play not to lose.”
The actor continued: “When “Winter Soldier”. it turns out, we were playing to win. And it’s the first film with the Russo Brothers. We were taking more risks and the character seemed more defined. It was one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had in my run at Marvel.”
