If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know we are big Marvel fans around here 😉 I think Daniel owns EVERY variation of the comic books and you may remember that I was lucky enough to attend the Iron Man 3 premiere a couple years back. Not only that, we got to go on set when they were filming Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Needless to say, I am, and always will be #TeamCap
