Captain America's first appearance in the MCU happened in a very sneaky cameo in a movie released three years before his first solo adventure.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Captain America made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 1, but his very first appearance happened three years before his solo movie was released. Captain America became one of the leaders of the MCU’s Infinity Saga as he led the original Avengers team alongside Iron Man.
Captain America made his first MCU appearance in his first solo movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, where his origin story was explored. The First Avenger followed young Steve Rogers who after being rejected for World War II military recruitment due to his many health and physical problems, became part of the “Super-Soldier” experiment.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, The Incredible Hulk tells the origin story of Bruce Banner , who after an experiment with gamma radiation goes wrong, begins to transform into an enormous green humanoid monster known as the Hulk. The Incredible Hulk went through various cuts and edits before its release, and among the scenes left out of the final cut was one where Banner went to the Arctic to commit suicide .
As confirmed in the book The Art of Marvel’s The Avengers, the frozen Captain America can be seen in the ice as the avalanche approaches the screen. It’s a very sneaky cameo that’s very easy to miss, but it has already been confirmed by Marvel that Captain America made his first appearance three years before his first solo movie.
Why Captain America's First Appearance Is So Perfect Although it’s not a proper, full appearance as it’s truly a blink-and-you-miss-it moment , Captain America’s cameo in The Incredible Hulk actually works perfectly. It took three years after the Hulk’s first movie for the MCU to officially introduce Captain America, but it was a clever and perfect way to start linking the movies together.
