Captain America Isn't So American!

Although the film was to be shot in El Lay, Marvel Studios has changed their mind and taken Captain America to London.
A segment of the movie does take place overseas, but it didn’t financial sense to split the location of the film.
“I actually had location scouts here [Los Angeles] to see what could be done,” said Marvel Studios co-President Louis D’Esposito. “But it would have required so much visual-effects work and set construction, it didn’t make sense.”
It was Britain’s film incentive, which offers a 20% to 25% payable tax credit on qualified expenditures, that took them away from the City of Angels. No tax credit was available in California because of the large budget.
“These are tough financial times right now that could pressure us to look at other locations,” D’Esposito continued. “But we have every intention of shooting the majority of films here.”
Riiiiight.
