Drop By The Set Of Captain America In Manchester, England
Looking to add a little excitement to your life in mid-September? Those of you near the dreary streets of Manchester and Liverpool, England need look no further. Marvel’s staple in the Avengers saga, Captain America: The First Avenger, will find its way across the pond for two weeks in the middle of September to film some key scenes in the comic adaptation, according to BBC News. The details of the particular scenes aren't set in stone just yet but we do know there will be a car chase, and as we’ve learned from the Transformers 3 set in Chicago, that can be a pretty exciting thing to watch.
The production is traveling to those parts of England simply because the streets in the Northern Quarter of Machester, lined with tall buildings that can pass for 30 or 100-years-old, resemble that of a 1940’s New York, the era in which Captain America takes place. Sounds like this will be a great move for Manchester and Liverpool as well as being a perfect fit for the film. The area was last used to film scenes for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes reboot, which proves is versatility. Captain America hits theaters just two months after Thor next July. I don’t know about you, but I can’t effing wait for either of them, despite my slight misgivings about Chris Evans in the lead.
