Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“Chris worked his butt off for four months doing gymnastics and stunt training so in a scene like this he could go toe-to-toe with Georges St-Pierre and make it look really credible. Once the helmet comes off, 95% of that is Chris, except obviously for that massive aerial kick that he does. I think he did a fantastic job.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“[1970s conspiracy thriller] works particularly well with Steve Rogers because it puts him on the back foot and makes him a fugitive in a way. You need to put him in parallel in order to
like Captain America. He is so pure and so symbolic that if he is in charge and
everybody likes him, it becomes a little infuriating. But if the only person he
can trust is himself and he is in the shadows, then he becomes a hero. He is a
character with a very simple arc: he has a moral code, he acts on his
principles. The most interesting version of this character is literally to see
him get the crap beaten out of him. You want to see him go through trials of
great pain and anguish because it makes you feel all that much better when he
does finally win.”

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“It comes up a lot, “Why Natasha and not every other Avenger?” We wanted to put Steve’s clear-eyed view of our world against a person who absolutely inhabits this world. Today’s politics is a little gray, a little morally questionable; ethics get folded for any particular instance. She represents that perfectly. And when you put those two characters with those two world views together, you’re gonna get friction, but you’re also gonna get a chance for each of them to affect the other.”
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“Steve’s arc is not like other people’s arcs. He doesn’t have his dark nights of the soul. It can be a failing in the character if you don’t do it right. But the idea that he sees things clearly and gets other people to change their points of view is ultimately heroic. He does it on a gigantic scale. He reshapes the country if not the world to fit his views when no one agrees with him just by standing still.”
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“We always wanted to approach Sam through the prism of being a fellow veteran, someone who could speak to Steve on that level as opposed to in awe of him because he’s Captain America. Also it brought the idea that Steve, in addition to everything else he’s gone through, spent 4 years in WWII. That’s very traumatic stuff. And he has never had a chance to decompress about any of it.
This is probably the hardest scene in the movie because it leads to one of the the biggest buys in the film: that Cap is gonna go back to the guy he met jogging on the Mall when his life is in danger because he’s the only guy he can trust. So it’s important that these two connect on a very deep and emotional level in this scene.”
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“We had a long conversation with Kevin [Feige] about this scene because he didn’t want Captain America to turn into the Hulk. And we said, “No, listen, the scene is about illustrating his desire to catch this guy. This shows his dogged determination to stop the Winter Soldier because now he feels responsible in some way for Fury’s death.” The great thing about Steve is also his level of guilt. As much as he was pissed at Fury, now he’s got burden to bear for the rest of the film.“
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“You can see actually how violent he is with her. Again, it’s a guy who’s dealing with liars, he’s in over his head. Cap is fraying a little bit. You see him going places where he wouldn’t normally go. But also, he is treating her like an equal, both physically and mentally. She’s in Avengers, she’s on the team.”
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“This is a critical moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is when SHIELD turns bad. In one scene you realize that something is going on on a much deeper level than anybody is aware of and clearly that the enemy is within. And I think this [scene] was able to reflect the audience’s sense of tension and 8 movies of build up to this elevator sequence. I think that’s why this is such an effective sequence because you’re in the same place Cap is. You have all this historical information telling you that SHIELD is good. And in about 5 minutes you’re discovering that they’re rotten to the core.“
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“The journey down into Zola’s chamber is really a journey down into a psyche. This is Cap going back and going deep into his own psyche. That’s why we wanted Cap to be leading the charge in the scene. He’s the one who finds the elevator. He’s pushing them forward towards the confrontation with his past.”
