THANK YOU to Disney and Marvel for making my bucket list dreams come true!
I am SOOOO excited to finally share with all of you a secret I have been keeping for 9 months!
9 months is a really looooooong time to hold onto a secret let alone one that I am so excited about.
OK here it is…….
Do you remember back in April when I walked the Red Carpet for Iron Man 3 and got to interview Gwyneth Paltrow thanks to Disney and Marvel?
Well…..I also had the opportunity to do something I never in my life thought I would get to do!
We visited the set of Captain America 2 and interviewed Prop Master Russell Bobbit AND………………………
We got to have our picture taken with the Captain America Shield that is used in the movie……Yes I squealed in excitement just a bit!
There are so many things I want to tell you about this Bucket List moment. Even 9 months later I get a bit giggly in excitement thinking about this day.
Ok first…Let’s talk about the Captain America Shield
1. It is not as heavy as you would think it is
2. There are more than 1 of them, in fact there were 50 of them made for Captain America 2
3. Not all of them are made with the same material. Some are metal, hard rubber like the one I am using and others are fiberglass and soft rubber.
4. Prop Master Russell Bobbit makes them and ensures they are perfect for the movie.
5. Yes I did see Chris Evans but that is another story for another day 🙂
Prop Master Russell Bobbit is the man in charge of all of the props you see in the Captain America movies and many other Marvel Movies!
He is absolutely amazing. So humble, genuine and friendly. He spent quite a bit of time answering our questions and sharing with us what it is like to work on Captain America 2.
Here’s a hint about the movie…Keep an eye out to see if there is one shield or maybe multiple shields………
Want to see some behind the scene pics of Captain America and the Captain America shield?
I hope you said YES! Because I am so excited to share them with you.
These photos were sent over by Disney and Marvel so I could share them with all of you!
Sooooo Who is ready to see Captain America 2 in theaters on April 4th?
I know I am! I can not wait to see this movie! Thankfully we are on the countdown until the movie hits theaters. I am telling myself I waiting 9 months to share my Captain America Shield Secret certainly I can wait 2 months to see the movie…..

Ooo! So exciting! You look really good holding that shield too!~ I can’t wait to see this movie!

I totally would have thought it would be heavy. Why did they make so many? That’s kinda funny!

That seriously had to be one of the most fun press trips ever!
What a fun event! It looks like you had a great time
Now that’s pretty darn cool!
It’s so cool to see the comparison shots of you and the hottie holding that shield. It wasn’t really that heavy? I never would have guessed that!
I can’t wait to watch this movie. Some of it was filmed in Ohio so it will be fun to watch and see if we recognize any of the scenes.
I’m squeeing, too – that is sooo cool!!
Ok, that is seriously so cool you got to be so involved with this movie! I love that shield! I knew they would have more than one, but had no idea it would be 50!
How much fun would that be! No wonder you squealed. Can’t wait for the movie!
That’ is an impressively long time to keep a secret! Especially one so HUGE!!! Looks like you had a lot of fun, what a cool trip.
OMG when I saw the preview of this at the theater I gasped! The elevator scene… amazing. I am totally ready to see it!
How cool!! You got to hold the shield!! I am now starting to wonder just how heavy the metal one really is!
Loved holding the shield and loved meeting you!
Ahhh Vera! I loved meeting you! I can not wait until we are at an event together again soon!!!!
