BBC News has learned some of the filming locations for director Joe Johnston’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” coming July 22nd, 2011.

(Caution, spoilers ahead!)

According to the BBC News, Marvel will be taking over part of Manchester and Liverpool throughout filming of “Captain America: The First Avenger”. The producers chose the Northern Quarter of Manchester for its “towering buildings and pre-war architecture”.  Manchester will serve as the base location to recreate a 1940s New York City and will feature a “dramatic car chase”. You may remember that Manchester was transformed into a Victorian era London for last year’s Sherlock Holmes. The nature of the sequence or sequences to be filmed at the Stanley Dock in Liverpool are to be determined.
