Random Movie Trivia - Captain America

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

Captain America: The First Avenger

• I picked this movie for today because the sequel comes out this weekend.
• Stanley Tucci took the role of Dr. Erskine because the role enabled him to use a German accent, which he always wanted to do.
• Chris Evans declined the role three times before finally being convinced to take it.
• The wall art hiding the Tesseract at the beginning of the film shows the World Tree, the same concept design that Thor shares with Jane Foster in Thor (2011).
• The villain's name Johan Schmidt is basically a German translation of the English name John Smith - a popular stock name and alias in English and US pop culture.
• Chris Evans sixth comic book movie after the two Fantastic Four movies, Push (2009),The Losers (2010), and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010). He also voiced Casey Jones in TMNT (2007), also based on a comic book.
• Sam Worthington and Will Smith were in early talks for the role of Captain America. Later on Garrett Hedlund, Channing Tatum, and Mike Vogel the final shortlist for the role. Kellan Lutz, Ryan Phillippe and Alexander Skarsgård carried out auditions, but ultimately the role went to Evans.
• Edgar Wright (director of Shaun of the Dead) had been rumored to have secretly rewritten the film, but he publicly denied this. Wright will soon write/direct his own Marvel Studios film, Ant-Man (2015).
• Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell from Game of Thrones, aka Joffrey's fiance) has a small part, she is the lady who seduces the Captain and gets him in trouble with his love interest.
• Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Prince of Atlantis, but this was scrapped.
• During the bar scene right after Captain America rescues Bucky and his unit, the bartender is played by the guy who is Chris Evans' double from before he takes the super soldier formula.
• Alice Eve, Gemma Arterton and Keira Knightley were considered for the role of Peggy Carter. Emily Blunt turned down the role.
• Originally cameo appearances were planned in the film for James Logan Howlett (Wolverine) and Erik Lensherr (Magneto), who were present during World War II (Logan was a soldier and Lensherr was a prisoner of war). These cameos were scrapped due to rights issues.
