THIS should be the movie poster for the film. AWESOME.

Dude had to have used steroids. He's not in professional sports, so it makes no difference to me. I just can't believe he got that big between Comic-Con and filming without some chemical help.

Looks like they went with the WWII-esque helmet as the headgear for at least part of the movie. Nifty.

Protein drinks, tough workouts, and a personal trainer can probably do the trick instead of steroid imo. But even if Evans uses 'roid, he's not in a professional sport so it doesn't mean anything. Heck, even Stallone admits of using HGH to pump up for the movie The Expendables.

Have to agree. While Evans certainly has the genetics to build muscle the old-fashioned way, it would probably take too much time without a little pharmaceutical assistance.

IMHO the freaky not-quite-natural buffness works well in the service of a story where the scrawny 4-F is chemically morphed into a supersoldier.

This set of pix is a great appetizer until a trailer. The vibe (such as it is) is right, the costumes are surprisingly great. I hope the script and direction really make all these disparate elements gel together.

As someone pretty sick of superhero films, I'm pleasantly surprised about how much these pics are jazzing me. It really seems to have a wonderful fantastical WW2 feel in the vein of Indy or the start of Hellboy, which is just perfect imo.

Weaving looks as good as I knew he would, Evans looks fucking perfect, in fact everything looks as good as I'd hoped it would.

Wow, a proper WW2 superhero movie. Excellent.

My excitement for this is growing in equal measure to my trepidation about Thor.

I wouldn't count those chickens. It's a safe bet that the WWII scenes will be sanitized to the point of a placeholder.

Um, as they should be - no need to be seeing guys with their faces caved in or walking around holding their own blown-off arms in the background while Cap is punching Adolf in the face.

Like I said, this'll be WW2 by way of Indy and Hellboy, it aint gonna be Band Of Brothers with super serum.

Yeah, there's a part of me that wishes he could stay in WW2 for at least another movie. The vibe of Indiana Jones pulp meets super-hero in a movie is great.

I really hope he punches Hitler.

I agree that Evans' expression in the pic with the soldiers really nails that wholesome, "gee-whiz" quality that Captain America needs. His performance in Sunshine convinced me that he had the chops to play a military man, and these photos are just more evidence for me that Marvel cast well.

Not a Rocketeer fan? (Although I guess one could argue that The Rocketeer is less of a WWII movie than a movie set during WWII.)

Photos looks good, although I'm still wary that Johnston's going to deliver the same middle of the road crap he's handed out over the last decade. Giving Wolf Man a second try didn't help any.

Still, here's hoping.

Hey I actually quite like The Wolfman but Greg let's get real here, middle of the road is where Johnston lives - it's where he's always lived. I reckon you're just setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect much more than a mildly colourful, cursory romp from the guy.

Sure you dig it and that's cool, like I said I have a bit of a weakness for his most recent effort. Thing is, I'm not actually shitting on Johnston, just trying to be pragmatic. The guy does what he does at the quality level he generally does it at, to expect more from him is setting oneself up for disappointment is all.

Yeah, even as a huge fan of The Rocketeer I have to admit that that movie is the exception that proves the rule when it comes to Johnston - he's a journeyman through and through. (Never seen October Sky, though.)

I'm just crossing my fingers that pulpy, WWII superheroes happen to be his very narrow wheelhouse.

These look phenomenal. Going after Evans was a good move - he sure looks the part, and he's talented enough to keep up with Downey when the time comes.

How can anyone not like the Rocketeer? Granted it's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember a really fun movie. Actually what I really remember is Jennifer Connelly in a white dress, but that's neither here nor there.

Looking forward to seeing the true Red Skull.

Not to derail, but I really dug the director's cut. Enough so, that I picked up the blu-ray this week at Best Buy ($12.99!).

I liked The Wolfman more than most, particularly its Director's Cut. It had a nice, eerie atmosphere, generally good performances and Johnston's attention to period detail was top-notch. It looks like he's applying that same attention here, getting a nice, authentic WWII feel that fits the classic image of Captain America perfectly.

And christ, is that seriously Stanley Tucci? It looks like his make-up job for Dr. Erskine was successful...

Two things:

1) I've been rather critical of this film so far. Some of the New York City CIRCA 1940s set photos piqued my interest, but not much beyond that has caught my eye. With that said, I unabashedly adore each and every one of these latest CapAm Images.

They're all fairly cool and 'authentic' looking, and Mr Evans looks much more 'of the period' than I thought he would

2) Yes, of course he used steroids. My understanding is that everyone in Hollywood does, it's just that they are fond of crediting their massive weight and muscle mass fluctuations to diets of salmon rice and plenty of exercise.

Picture on the top? 2004

Picture on the bottom? 2005




I just don't see how that's possible without drugs.

Where's the Red Skull's swastika? Booooo! Seriously, the movie might be fine, but who are they afraid of offending by having Captian America whoop ass on evil Nazi scum? He was doing it way before Dr. Jones.

Writer Ed Brubaker's current run on the series is widely regarded as one of the character's best periods ever. It begins with this book.

Yeah, the lack of Nazi imagery worried me at first too (afraid that they were removing Germany from the equation much like the new Avengers cartoon seems to be doing), but I don't think that they're afraid of offending anyone. Instead, it'll just be revisionist Marvel history being told in this movie. Basically, Hydra will likely be the driving force behind Nazism, which makes sense because it'll give Captain America a better sense of purpose when he's thawed out in the modern day and Hydra is still around and causing mayhem.

Sherman makes an excellent point - in the modern era the Nazis are no longer a threat (white supremacist assholes aside) but Hydra still could be.

There was a Comic-Con interview with Weaving where he said that his character had his own command, or branch, of the Nazi war machine called Hydra - so there may still be a connection made in the movie.

Wait, Whedon is the writer for this one too? I'd heard he was going to be involved in tweaking the script a little for the build-up to The Avengers, but is he actually credited as the writer? Because that's kind of awesome.

Captain America was the big question mark for me in the March of Marvel Crossover Movies, but I'm getting pretty sold on it. The fact that they're going all-out into comic book craziness was something I didn't expect, based on Marvel's track record to date. In fact, it's kind of weird that this movie appears to have more weirdness and fantasy than Thor, which is now looking like the weak link in the Marvel chain. How much would it suck for Thor to bomb and derail this and The Avengers?

Here's an expanded shot of the pre-Red Skull Schmidt with Toby Jones as Arnim Zola in the back:

Whedon did a pass on the script. I don't know if he'll be credited as one of the writers.

Quote:
"I just got to make some character connections," said Whedon of his work on the "Captain America" screenplay. "The structure of the thing was really tight and I loved it, but there were a couple of opportunities to find his voice a little bit — and some of the other characters — and make the connections so that you understood exactly why he wanted to be who he wanted to be."

Whedon, who has a varied history of script-doctoring on films such as “Speed” and “Waterworld,” may have experienced a more ideal editing process in the comic-based playground of this latest project.

"It's fun in this case," said Whedon, "because, A, they'll actually use the things I wrote, which is rare; and, B, it's a fun puzzle to go in and say, 'Okay, this is what works, this is what needs to be connected, and here are some key moments.' Then the third thing is that it takes place in the '40s, so I got to write '40s dialogue, and that's never not fun!"

It had my interest until just about the very end. Then the Anthony Hopkins werewolf just killed it's credibility with me. The entire film was building up to that, and he just ended up looking comical. He looked cuddly.

He looked like the dad from Teen Wolf. I wanted him to give Benicio a hug and tell him everything was fine, and he was just going through changes that every normal young man goes through.

I read somewhere that he was doing a page-one pass at the script but that was never out-and-out confirmed. I'm guessing what we'll end up seeing is his version of whatever the original story was, which is good enough for me (although it doesn't leave me with much hope for the sequel's prospects). Still, the IMDb page is crediting him along with 2 other writers for now.
