Captain America: The First Avenger

Captain America: The First Avenger came out in the UK ten years ago today, a bit late for Steve’s birthday on the Fourth of July.

My favourite Cap film and one of my favourite MCU films overall, which may not surprise you given my recent post about the 30th anniversary of The Rocketeer, director Joe Johnston’s previous circa-WWII retro pulpy superhero film. Like that, it made a straight-up hero work and be totally charming.

And I will never be okay with The Star-Spangled Man With A Plan not getting a Best Original Song nomination at the Oscars. (Especially as there were two entrants that year. Just making up the numbers so there wasn’t only one loser!)
