Directors Joe and Anthony Russo celebrate Captain America: The Winter Soldier‘s 10-year anniversary with behind-the-scenes footage and new info about the MCU movie. Back in Phase 2, Captain America’s MCU journey was only beginning with the hero’s first MCU sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which brought back Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, this time as the main villain. Ten years and dozens of MCU movies and shows later, the Russo brothers’ work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier stands as an especially popular installment of the Infinity Saga and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Captain America: The Winter Soldier‘s release, Joe and Anthony Russo reveal on their Instagram page, therussobrothers, never-seen-before footage of the film’s production. The post includes Captain America’s stunt double jumping over a plane, explosions at the Triskelion, and green screen work featuring Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce. See the full post below:

Additionally, the Russos also provide some technical information about Captain America: The Winter Soldier. According to the directors, some action sequences were shot with a handheld technique. They used three lenses with three focal lengths, which they combined with different shutter angles to capture the fight sequences with a fast-faced but clear style. Read the details below:

50mm and 75mm work best with a 45 degree shutter. 75 allows you to track very specific moments. Knife catch, etc. You can chase your characters in close ups with the 75, and highlight emotional beats. Requires a steadier hand. The 50 is the workhorse though. It gets you the action with a visceral, kinetic energy. But the eye has an easier time following it than the 75. Anything over 75 mm on a 45 degree shutter is incoherent. 40 mm is best if you want to include both actors in the same frame.
