Phase 1 films:
1) Captain America: The First Avenger
Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by
the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because
of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips
offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment... Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of
tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Solider Serum and bombarded by "vita-rays". Steve Rogers
emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put
through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first
assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain America has
continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and as leader of the Avengers.
