* SavedFromDevelopment: The film languished in development hell as far back as 1997. In May 2000, Marvel teamed with Artisan Entertainment to help finance the film. However, a lawsuit arose between Marvel Comics and Joe Simon over the ownership of Captain America copyrights, disrupting the development process of the film. The lawsuit was eventually settled in September 2003. The rights were later acquired by Marvel in 2005 who were planning to independently produce several films with Creator/ParamountPictures distributing, and the film finally saw release on July 22, 2011.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: A gender-inverted example. Steve mentions he's not much of a dancer but Chris Evans trained in ballet and credits it for developing his strong core and allowing him to take on such a physical role.

* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/ChrisEvans got ripped for the role and dyed his hair golden blonde (he's a natural brunet).

--->'''Hugo Weaving:''' ''"It was fun to play; I enjoyed the outrageousness of the German accent that I employed and I enjoyed the extraordinary mask and costume, even though it was unbelievably hot inside it. I enjoy mask work; I enjoy trying to animate masks and reveal certain things that the mask itself might not reveal. V for Vendetta was another example of that, but there was less animation within that mask versus the Red Skull. With Marvel, it’s pretty basic stuff: accept the deal and enjoy the ride. It’s not a major stretch for an actor, but on the other hand the difficulty with the Marvel universe is maintaining a link to a human dimension within such an extraordinary, technological CGI universe. In terms of me going back and doing another one, I don’t know. I’m not sure what they’re up to with the Red Skull."''
* DeletedScene:

** Steve learns that his country won the war from Nick Fury.
