"Captain America: The First Avenger" released 2011


Captain America: The First Avenger was released into theaters July 22, 2011.  The comic book hero was played by totally sexy Chris Evans, with Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Stanley Tucci and Samuel L. Jackson.

The movie showed the beginning of Captain America as Steve Rogers is desperate to fight for his country in WWII, but is too small.  He is injected with a serum that turns him into a super-soldier.  The scientist who concocted the serum (played by Stanley Tucci) is killed just after the experiment is shown to be a success.

Captain America goes on to fight Nazis in WWII.

It opened to mostly positive reviews and made $65.1 M, the second highest-grossing opening weekend for a superhero film in 2011, behind Thor.
