Now we will talk about the settings. Captain America: The First Avenger, filmed almost entirely in the UK, using state-of-the-art technology to convince us its buff star is a seven stone weakling. For instance, the cinema where disturbingly skinny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) confronts a loudmouth during the patriotic newsreel, is the famous Hackney Empire theatre in East London. It’s barely glimpsed, but we’ll see more of its red and gilt grandeur later. The ensuing back-alley punch-up was filmed on the Pinewood Studio backlot. ‘Camp Lehigh’, the army training camp, is Black Park, at Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire. Having successfully demonstrated his courage, Steve is whisked off to a mysterious address in ‘Brooklyn’. The street where ‘Brooklyn Antiques’ provides the front for a secret lab, is in the

Northern Quarter of Manchester. ‘Captain America’ makes his awkward stage appearance alongside dancing girls on stage at Hackney Empire, 291 Mare Street, London E8. The army camp, from which he launches his solo rescue mission, was built in another favourite location – Bourne Wood, at Farnham in Surrey. It is Ironman time again, Tony Stark turns up at the charity ball which is Disney Concert Hall, downtown Los Angele. Tony Stark is kidnapped in ‘Afghanistan’ which is Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, California.
