With the MCU’s Captain America Brave New World in cinemas, we head back to 1990 to look at the first-ever Captain America cinematic movie. How and why did this Marvel movie become a complete low budget disaster? We’ll take you behind-the-scenes on how Cannon Films got into the Marvel movie business, how JD Salinger’s son was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the whole production lost its entire six million dollar budget right before filming! It’s a crazy story of a film being re-written on the fly, cameras running out of film, and the studio hating the finished movie so much they re-edited the entire thing … and made it worse! We’ll also explore Captain America in the 1980’s to uncover perhaps the most interesting and political time in the history of the character. And we’ll deep-dive the movie scene-by-scene as only MVM can!
