Also: yes, I can't see many people here going to a movie called Captain America. It's not just that we hate Freedom (although we do), it's also that the character isn't that well known here and "Captain" anything sounds like a silly name. If I saw a movie called Major New Zealand I'd assume it's an animation film or a Rob Schneider parody.

I dont think a film called Captain America would do too badly here as I do think the character is well enough known to at least do reasonably well, but as you say, those that havent heard of him, may very well think its some kind of comedy, much the same as the Team America movie.
I'd say out of all the superheroes out there, Cap has gotta be one of the toughest sells outside his native country.


For that reason, I'm a little surprised they didn't just do an "Ultimates" or "Avengers" movie, have them recruit Cap and then spin his own film out of that.
