Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:

“Opening the movie in more of a light way, when it hasn’t turned dark yet, was really valuable. It was a nice transition from what’s come before [in the MCU] to where we were gonna go. We can only do that in the early scenes of the film because as soon as things get tense, they get very tense. And we needed to plant Falcon. If the movie is going into conspiracy, and they’re gonna need to find an outsider they can trust, you gotta introduce him really early, give him a reason to be genuine and trustworthy. It reminds you that they’re regular people. If you start in costume beating up bad guys, it distances you from that human side.”
