Evans and Jackson in Times Square to Film Possible 'Captain America' Scene


Spoiler Warning!

Well I guess we know that Steve Rogers and Nick Fury will be introduced at some point in this summer’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Because principal filming has been completed for months, it’s possible that this could be another after credits scene after Cap wakes up in the present (check out the video below).

Director Joe Johnston was on hand in Times Square this weekend to direct a scene between Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Chris Evans (Steve Rogers), which supports evidence that this scene is for Captain America and not The Avengers (which is expected to begin filming today). I’m just guessing, but this makes me think that Captain America is set almost wholly during World War II and not for only about 80 percent of the film as has been previously rumored.

It’s been stirring around in the old noggin for a while now—just how are the filmmakers going to end the movie on a high note while still displacing Steve Rogers from his own time? It would seem that this necessary scene would leave a sour taste in audiences’ mouths if their hero is suddenly ripped from everything he knows and everyone he loves. We’ve got a few months to see how director Joe Johnston and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have addressed this.

Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters of July, 22nd.

They told bystanders that they were filming an Acura commercial (wink-wink).

Per the rumors they start shooting 'The Avengers' tomorrow (or today)...is it possible they got an early start and this isn't for Cap but for the Avengers?
