Captain America: The Winter Soldier can only be described as a masterpiece. The film perfectly exemplifies the Russo Brothers’ genius, showcasing excellent storytelling, fight sequences like no other, Oscar-worthy acting, and unparalleled cinematography. It was as though the entire cast and crew were in a harmonious dance, with everyone playing their part and doing their best to make one of the best films to come out in the MCU.
One of the Most Iconic Scenes From Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The fight sequences in Captain America: The Winter Soldier are award-winning, to say the least. They have been regarded as some of the best in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. From the fight on the bridge, where Bucky was unmasked, to the final battle in the skies, every single fight stands out on its own. However, there is one specific scene that fans cannot help but keep looking back on.
The forced proximity and the fact that Steve comes out of it perfectly fine are just some of the reasons why fans love this scene so much.
Chris Evans Also Has A Big Reason For Loving The Elevator Fight
While fans have several reasons to love the elevator fight sequence from the film, it would seem that Chris Evans has a very different reason that makes a lot of scenes. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he was asked to reveal his favorite scene from his entire time in the MCU. Interestingly enough, he was quick to name the beloved elevator scene.
I’m partial to that fight scene in the elevator. That was the first scene we shot in the second Captain America movie. It was my first time working with the Russos.
It was the first time where it felt like Cap was kind of on his own. The first Cap movie, you really feel like everyone was holding my hand, in the first Avengers movie I just did my best to not get in the way.
The second Cap movie was the one where I really felt, I suppose, pressure, and that first elevator scene came out really great in my opinion.
The elevator scene symbolized the first time Cap did not have anyone to fall back on and simply had to fight his own battles. This is why it holds a special place for Evans.
