The old Human Torch is the new Captain America

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

Yeah, he looks totally different there--exactly like Steve Rogers.

[Spe-Dog]

I think he does look a lot like Steve...however, my girlfriend saw the pic, and just due to the brown hair, she thought he was playing the Bucky version of Cap.

More photos from the Captain America set. Looks like they're going to be as authentic as possible.

In other news, there is talk now that a Namor movie may be in the works. This shocked me.

I am growing more excited about this film with every tiny detailed shot! I have never seen a movie where Chris is serious, but just based on a few of his shots you can tell he has the personality in the bag. Really happy with this!

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, at least they dyed his hair blond.

[cmdrkoenig67]

Chris is a blond (dark blond/light brown range), anyway...This looks like his normal hair color.

BTW:  Did we already see these photos?

Actually if you've seen any of Chris Evanxs other films like Push he portrayed a rather different role in it, which makes me think he's actually a somewhat good call for Cap. I mean they could have gone with Ryan Reynolds for Cap as well....

I really wasn't sure Evans could pull Cap off, but he looks pretty decent in that photo. Real test will be his acting though.

[BentonGrey]

Ehh.

This movie is going to be awesome. It's going to be huge and everyone will love it. Some of you guys might even like it.

I certainly hope so.  I really want to like it, but I don't think that image looks particularly impressive.  It's not terribly disappointing either.

I'll raise Benton's wager to a "Meh."  There's something vaguely Rick Moranis about Mr. Evans's look, owing in part to the lack of blond hair.





...And that's simply all wrong because, you know, he's Canadian...

Needs more straps.
And pouches.
And piping.
And a leather trenchcoat.
With straps on it.
Awesome..

Ohh, ohh!  It DEFINITELY needs some swords!

Seriously though, those straps across the chest are the part that I like the least.  They've got blue peaking out the sides...it sorta' looks like they're on backwards.

Hrmm...mask-less Red Skull....

Some of those pictures are pretty cool, I think - particularly the one showing the old-style shield (kite shaped).  But what would these boards be without crushing negativity regarding all comic movies and comics written during my lifetime?

Horribly boring and misinformed, thanks for asking.  I actually think that this thread has been fairly positive.

[RTTingle]

The old shield!!!

This movie could be the worst movie ever... and I still wouldn't care --- I LOVE the old shield.

Aside from my misgivings about the costume redesigns, the film does look to have a lot of stuff that's "true" to the source material.
There isn't a single one of the recent marvel film adaptations I've strongly disliked, I've actually enjoyed them all (though some were obviously better than others, and therefore enjoyed more).
This one looks like it could be good, too.
It would just be better for me if they did a more "Spider-man/Superman" approach to the costume design rather than an "X-men" one.
Touches like the inclusion of the original shield as well as the classic circular one do bode well.

[ow_tiobe_sb]

I'll add to tommyboy's positive line of thinking that Hugo Weaving is an excellent casting choice (amongst other recent, fabulous casting choices: Robert Downey, Jr., Mickey Rourke, Edward Norton (and we'll leave it at that without interrogating current controversies), William Hurt, Scarlett Johansson, et al.).  I will pay to view the film in the theatre just to treat myself to Mr. Weaving's performance.

honestly i don't mind the costume change, i can understand where people are coming from with the x-men and some of the others, but to me the cap one looks like cap he's a solider and i have to use the old clithce not everything on the page works.

i know my opinion isn't popular and i should be agreeing with most of use but if we got the 100% legit we'd just have a big budget version of the 90's/reb brown look and sorry but just throwing money at something does not always make it work

[herodad1]

i think its gonna be good. he sure buffed up.

I agree 100 percent UE! Well put sir, very well put.

Personally, I always look forward to super hero movies with a sense of trepidation, especially if it is a franchise that I particularly like.  I recognize that some things that work in one medium won't work in another.  I recognize there are technological issues to overcome that might not work.  I recognize that a movie writer has to look at characters with 40 to 60 years of history and make choice with as wide as an appeal as possible.  But, I am always concerned that they will change things that are most important to me, and though I am mature enough to be happy for someone else who gets what they want, I still get disappointed if I don't get what I want.  Among Marvel properties, Captain America is among my favorite character.   I would rather go in with low expectations and be wrong than with high expectations and be wrong; so, I think I will keep myself at a cautiously optimistic level hoping there is at least something I can like, and if it turns out great, I will consider it a real bonus.

I usually use the same approach with most things. It's a sensible way to do things.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I just saw from a cast list, that Bucky and the Howling Commandos will both be there.

I can't help but be enthusiastic about this.

Surprised this hasn't popped up here yet...

Cap in costume

[BentonGrey]

At least the blue is bright-ish.
