Back in July we got our first look at Chris Evans in costume as Captain America when the first promo footage from the film was screened at 2010 San Diego Comic-Con but today we get a better, more clear look at The First Avenger in full costume on the cover of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine … behold:
For fans of superhero movies, the most patriotic holiday on next year’s calendar won’t fall on July 4th, but exactly 18 days later. That’s when Paramount Pictures will release Captain America: The First Avenger, a big budget adaptation of the Marvel Comics shield-baring super-soldier. The new issue of Entertainment Weekly offers your first look at star Chris Evans in the hero’s red, white and blue threads — but you can get a peek at the man in uniform right here, right now … “At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, ‘If the movie bombs, I’m fucked. If the movie hits, I’m fucked!’” After declining the part three times, Evans took a meeting with Marvel execs and Johnston and was dazzled by their plans for the movie. He still felt wary about suiting up for Captain America — but then he had an epiphany. “I was just scared,” he says. “I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear.’” Evans signed a six-picture deal with Marvel to play the character, and he has no regrets: “I can’t believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America.” The movie — which also serves to set up Marvel’s 2012 superhero team-up, The Avengers — hews closely to Captain America’s WWII-era origins … “The interesting thing about this character is that he’s an everyman who in the course of a few minutes become a perfect human specimen. That has to create some interesting personal issues,” says Johnston. “I saw it as an opportunity to make a superhero movie that felt real, that didn’t have to rely on an overabundance of fantasy elements.”
I mean, you don’t get more All-American than Captain America … or Chris Evans. He’s got the handsome, guy next door look down pat and seems like the perfect choice to play America’s comic book super soldier Captain America. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the costume, tho … I’ll need to see more, full-size photos but … doesn’t Chris‘s head look superimposed on the body featured on this magazine cover? I must admit, this incarnation of the Captain America costume is starting to grow on me … it looks like a uniform first and a superhero costume second. I want to see more … but at this point, I’m happy with what I’ve been seeing thus far. What do you think?
