New Captain America Photos and Synopsis!
Thu, October 28, 2010 I love the friendly rivalry between Marvel and DC comics film divisions. Just yesterday the title of Chris Nolans' final Batman film was announced along with a few other bits of info, then today Marvel fires back with our first real look at Captain America.
As well as the new EW cover which was revealed earlier today we now have a look at the photos from inside the issue as well. The first official look of Evans in full Cap gear looks a lot more promising then the stunt pictures which recently surfaced from the set, not to mention holy shit balls did he get into great shape for the role!
We also got our first look at the back of Stanley Tucci's head inside a 1940's era science lab, Hugo Weaving as the Nazi villain Johann Schmidt prior to becoming the disfigured Red Skull, and an alternate and equally bad ass shield.
The official synopsis is as follows:
The year is 1942, and Steve Rogers is a scrawny lad who desperately wants to fight Nazis for his country but can’t because he’s been deemed physically unfit. His fate — and his physique — is radically transformed when he signs up for Project: Rebirth, a secret military operation that turns wimps into studs using drugs and assorted sci-fi hoo-ha. There’s a love interest (Major Peggy Carter, played Haley Atwell), there’s a sidekick (Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stans), and there’s the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Hitler’s treacherous head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a magical object known as The Tesseract (comic fans know it better as The Cosmic Cube).
Captain America: The First Avenger opens in 3D on July 22, 2011

Great additional photos. The look and feel of the film is cool. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
