CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER Train Attack Storyboards by Federico D'Alessadro

Watch the train attack storyboards by artist Federico D'Alessandro. One of the most exciting scenes in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) was the attack on the Hydra train.

Born in Uruguay and raised in Littleton, Colorado, Federico D'Alessandro is the head storyboard artist and Animatics Supervisor at Marvel Studios, and has worked on films like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers.

The boards have a lot of action. An interesting difference between the storyboards and the movie is James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Shaw) loses his arm during the fight. This is very significant in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014), but I guess they cut it.

Check after the jump to see all of the boards and feel the adventure!



Here's the scene as it was filmed.

Official Synopsis:
Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige will produce CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel and Louis D’Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

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.
