    Chris Evans Talks Captain America!

    Chris Evans revealed just this weekend at Comic Con that we won't see the Captain America we know and recognize until about the third act of the film. His final look and Cap suit aren't really shown until the end of the film.

    He had the following to say to MTV:

    “It’s a World War II movie, so I think a little bit of a cumbersome feel to it and something that’s a bit chunkier … not only serves the time period, I think it looks better. It’s not this sleek spandex suit. It looks like something you might wear in the ’40s in the middle of a war.” … “There’s a couple stages and initially in the script, Steve isn’t Captain America right away. He gets the injection and isn’t asked to go to war right off the bat. He’s used in different areas and different facets, so he has different stages of the suit. I don’t think he actually jumps into the final suit until the third act of the film.”

    He also added that his shield will also go through variations and changes through out the film as well:

    “Well, during the USO tour, there’s obviously a different shield. And he goes on a couple missions, he goes AWOL and kind of takes the USO shield. And eventually, once he’s kind of allowed to be this soldier, and they outfit him with the new uniform, they decide to outfit him with an updated shield.”

    It's nothing new for fanboys to ridicule or bitch about the design of their favorite super hero's costume on film. But from what I saw of the concept art released for Cap they should have nothing to worry about. That doesn't mean it'll please everyone, but just be happy you're not ending up with rubber nipples like Batman and Robin!
