Before Captain America: The Winter Soldier even hit theaters it was confirmed that directors (and brothers) Anthony and Joe Russo would be helping plan out the story for Captain America 3 and again directing. It was a display of confidence from Marvel Studios and its key decision-maker Kevin Feige, but an unsurpising one considering the critical response to the film.
Early reviews of Captain America 2 labeled it one of the studio’s best and now that it’s out, it’s certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with numbers comparable to Iron Man and The Avengers, Marvel’s two strongest scored films to date.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the number 1 film this weekend with $96 million. That’s the biggest April opening ever, ahead of Fast Five‘s $86 million back in 2011.
While many predicted the Marvel train would keep rolling post-Avengers, these Phase 2 films are still far and away exceeding expectations, both financially and critically. Case in point: The Winter Soldier should eclipse the first Captain America‘s $179 million domestic total next weekend.
