New 'Captain America' Image Shows Chris Evans Suited Up As Cap


Here's a first: a shot of Chris Evans in costume — the real costume — as Captain America. We've seen concept art, we've seen images of the actor in character wearing street clothes, and we've seen shots of a stuntman in the suit. Some Comic Con attendees got to see a brief bit of costume test footage. But for everyone else, here's the first shot that really matters: Evans suited up and looking very much like... Nathan Fillion?


At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, 'If the movie bombs, I'm f—-ed. If the movie hits, I'm f—-ed!'... I was just scared. I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear... I can't believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America.

EW also provides a good synopsis for the film:

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)
