The cast also included Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Darren McGavin, Michael Nouri, Melinda Dillon, Kim Gillingham, and Scott Paulin.
Steve Rogers, who transforms into a super soldier and battles the Red Skull, was central to the plot. However, he is buried beneath the ice and awakens in the 1940s when he is assigned to defend the President of the United States. The sequel to Albert Pyun’s film did not exist. Instead, the character was incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Chris Evans making his debut as Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011. Evans reprised his role in six more films until Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
