The wartime origin of Steve Rogers
The First Avenger introduces the relationships that define Steve’s early story: Bucky is his friend, Peggy works alongside the military effort, and Erskine creates the program that transforms him. Hugo Weaving plays the Red Skull in this film. It is the 2011 origin film, so a search for its cast should be separated from later Captain America ensembles and from character information about other people who use the shield.
