Nigerians in Awe; as CAPTAIN America is seen at Lagos state running ontop vehicles , as passaby's look on in shock !!! (Photos & Videos)
Leaked photos show Captain America in his costume being surrounded by people in what looks like an Obalende or an Ojuelegba parts of Lagos, complete with the yellow danfo buses and the heavy foot traffic.
However, all of that was shot in Atlanta with special effects and African and African-American actors.
One wonders if the depiction of Lagos, Nigeria will be the stereotypical Hollywood story of suffering or it will be the true tale of hustle and flow.
Meanwhile, here are on some set photos. It is not clear
which ones will make the cut yet.
Over the past few hours, Nigerians have been buzzing about Captain America: Civil War, the latest in the Marvel Comics film series, on the Twitter hashtag #CaptainAmericaInNigeria.
Some fans are using the meme to express their excitement about the movie, which opens in theaters tomorrow. Others are using it to share photos from the opening action sequence, which looks as if it was filmed in a bustling market in Lagos (but is actually a set in Atlanta). "Sorry to break your hearts," wrote one blogger on PartyJollof.com. "Captain America never came to Nigeria. In fact, Captain America never left America."
