In 2008, Marvel Studios embarked on an incredibly ambitious project. Starting with Iron Man, the company began releasing a series of superhero movies based on their own properties that would eventually be tied together in the team-up movie The Avengers in 2012. The drawback, however, is that not everyone in the world is as obsessed with the characters as their key fanbase and while the films do cater to a wide audience, there are always going to be details that leave sections of the movie-going public saying, “Huh? The good news is that I’m here to help.
Just as I did prior to the release of Iron Man 2 and Thor, I’ve crafted yet another handy guide to the Marvel universe, this time for Captain America: The First Avenger, which comes out this Friday. If you still have no idea what the Cosmic Cube is or who the hell the Howling Commandos are, read on below for the full scoop.

This crazy new MCU fan theory suggests that Captain America could actually be the grandfather of Peter "Star-Lord" Quill.
It’s almost here! The 22nd Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and the culmination of Phases 1 to 3 (now known as The Infinity Saga) is almost here. If you’re a casual viewer (unlike me), you may need to catch up on a few things. Luckily for you, I’m going to impersonate you and have a conversation with myself to help you catch up to speed.
Very good article. I already knew a lot of the facts, but I still did learn a couple things. Great read!
Good article. Thanks for this! Learned a bit more to prepare myself for Captain America tomorrow!
Was rather interesting, however being an origin story I would hope the movie itself would explain some of this stuff.
If you really want to get an early feel for Captain America play the game. It did a lot of things right and introduces a lot of other characters. I heard the movie mostly focuses on Red Skull, he doesn't appear till midway to the end of the game.
Wasn't Wolverine a member of the Howling Commandos only in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon? I am a huge fan of the old comic and don't ever remember seeing Wolverine as a member. He fought alongside them as part of the Canadian Special Forces in WWII, but not as a member.
The same with Bucky. He was always Captain America's sidekick as he enlisted in the army at age 16. After impressing his commanders, he was presented to Cap as his partner and he remained so until the day of his apparent death.
Or are these facts from the Captain America movie?
