The final, and best, Captain America trailer arrives

And it's a chill-inducing, smile-creating gem. More action. More Hugo Weaving. More Tommy Lee Jones. More Howling Commandos. More music by Tool.

This is going to be THE summer movie to see in my opinion. A period comic book adventure that, as far as this trailer is concerned, has the heart and tone of an old-school action picture. Think Raiders of the Lost Ark with a super hero. Sold!

But why not watch the trailer for yourselves and sound off!

The first full trailer for Captain America

Wow! Just watched the trailer for Captain America and, aside from some poor video quality with the embed and having to tolerate the Entertainment Tonight promo at the end, it rocks!!

For one, they've captured the look and tone of the original Captain America comic plus his more recent incarnation in Marvel's Ultimates universe. Second, Chris Evans owns the role. I don't know how they made him go from scrawny little runt to kick-ass soldier guy, but they pulled it off. And Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull? Hell yes!

There's few mainstream releases this year I have to see. Captain America is one of them. Super 8 and Sucker Punch are also on the list!

Watch the trailer and judge for yourself. And leave a comment, soldier!

Captain America hits theatres in July.

1st official Captain Americal: The First Avenger trailer - HD!

I don't know about you, but I think it looks really awesome.

Witness the first Avenger

Those of you who were lucky enough to catch the Super Bowl (damn you localized snowstorm!) on Sunday also caught a glimpse of the Big Game teaser for the Captain America movie.

I didn't get to watch the preview until late yesterday and was blown away by the footage. It has an old-school vibe befitting the World War 2 era and appears to have captured the feel of the original Captain America comics. I like how Chris Evans comes across both pre-super serum and after. It's great to see The Howling Commandos make an appearance and who doesn't dig the brief glimpse we get of The Red Skull?

Naturally, we must hold our excitement in check pending the film's release this summer. But my anticipation level has ramped up considerably for Captain America. The movie is due out July 22.

A good look at The First Avenger in action

Empire magazine has scored a bunch of pics from the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger and we've decided to be lazy and post one of them here. Hey, it's the web. We can do that.

I'm actually looking forward to this flick and think Chris Evans is the perfect choice for Cap. He's a good actor, he looks all American and the costume suits him. Any doubts? Look below. The film is also set during World War 2, which is tres cool.

Directed by Joe Johnston, the action adventure also stars Hayley Atwell and Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull. It hits theatres July 22.

'The Avengers' To Start Filming in Early 2011!

Now that The Avengers team is assembled, all we were waiting for was a start date for the filming of the eagerly anticipated Marvel movie.

Well, according to SuperHeroHype, The Avengers will start filming early next year - more exactly in February! It will begin shooting a mere few months after the start of filming of another little superhero movie, namely Sony's untitled-as-of-yet Spiderman reboot.

The Avengers is directed by Buffy and Angel Mastermind Joss Whedon and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson.

Watch 'The Avengers' Comic-Con 2010 Teaser Trailer HD!!

The Comic-Con Teaser trailer for The Avengers is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson who plays Nick Fury.

It's definitely giving me all kinds of goosebumps.



The Avengers is set to be directed by Joss Whedon and will star Robert Downey Jr (Tony Stark / Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers / Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner / Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton / Hawkeye), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Scarlet Johansson (Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow).

The movie is set to be released on May 4, 2012.

New International Trailer for Scott Pilgram

It hasn't been a terribly exciting summer for movies. Sure, there have been some surprises (Prince of Persia and The A-Team) but, for the most part, there is little I want to see.

The latest trailer for Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgram Vs. The World changes all that. I need to see this movie now. Everything about it looks weird and kooky and great. This, along with Inception and The Expendables, could save the summer.

Give this a watch, and then sound off your thoughts!

PS: I don't think Chris Evans can be bad in a movie. His delivery of "What's up? He seems nice" made me bust a gut.

First Look at Concept Art for Captain America's Costume!

Just out over at AICN are some beautiful concept art depicting actor Chris Evans in costume for the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger movie. You can also read a fantastic and thorough description of the costumes (there is more than one) that the hero will sport here.

[Spoiler TV]

Hugo Weaving Will Be The Red Skull

How cool is that!?!

Today, Marvel Studios is confirming that the actor will definitely be playing the villain opposite Chris Evans as Captain America. Rumour has it the movie takes place during the Second World War, so expect Weaving's Skull to have lots of Nazis at his disposal.

Weaving is the perfect choice for the role. He, along with Alan Rickman of Die Hard fame, is one of the best villainous actors in the business.

I'm more and more excited for this movie as news begins to leak out. Evans should be a great Cap (he was awesome in The Losers)and Marvel has been producing some pretty decent adaptations of their characters of late, Ghost Rider aside.

Marvel Studios Press Release Confirms Captain America Casting

Below is the full press release found on Marvel's website that confirm the casting of both Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan in the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America movie.

Marvel Studios has officially confirmed that Chris Evans will star as Captain America and Sebastian Stan will portray Cap's sidekick Bucky in the studio's highly anticipated movie "The First Avenger: Captain America," directed by Joe Johnston from a script penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce "The First Avenger: Captain America." Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, Stratton Leopold and Louis D'Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

"The First Avenger: Captain America" will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Chris Evans will next star in Sylvain White's "The Losers." He will also star in Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." He recently wrapped production on "Puncture" and he will soon start production on "What's Your Number." Evans' previous credits include starring as Johnny Storm in the "Fantastic Four" films, Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" and David Ayer's "Street Kings."

Sebastian Stan can currently be seen in "Hot Tub Time Machine," and will appear in "The Apparition" as well as Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," both slated for 2010. His previous credits include roles on the NBC drama "Kings" and CW's "Gossip Girl."

In addition to "The First Avenger: Captain America," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including the highly anticipated sequel, "Iron Man 2," starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow on May 7, 2010; "Thor" on May 6, 2011; and "The Avengers" on May 4, 2012.

Stay tuned to Marvel.com for the official word on all things to do with "The First Avenger: Captain America" and all Marvel movies! [Marvel]

I'm surprised that Marvel chose to keep the sidekick since this avenue has proven detrimental before in the case of the Batman movies (before Chris Nolan took up the franchise). I hope it wont turn out to be too syrupy or corny.

While I like Chris Evans and find him well-suited for the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America, however I don't know Sebastian Stan all that well so I can't say anything about his casting.

Here's hoping the movie will be great.

Chris Evans IS Officially Captain America!!

After months of speculations and searches, it seems that the studios have settled their caps at Chris Evans to play the role of Captain America in the upcoming movie The First Avenger: Captain America

It had already been reported last friday that the role had been offered to the actor but that he had previous movie commitments that stopped him from accepting the role right away.

It now seems that things moved swiftly over the weekend and that all that remains is signing the deal.

Chris is no stranger to the role of Marvel superhero since he played Johnny Storm, A.K.A the Human Torch in the two Fantastic Four movies.

Though I had hoped to either see Supernatural's Jensen Ackles or Chuck's own Captain Awesome, actor Ryan McPartlin, in the role of Steve Rogers, I am perfectly comfortable with the idea of seeing Evans play The First Avenger. As of now Marvel Studios has not let us down.

What do you guys think of that casting decision? Is Chris Evans fit to wield ol' Captain's Shield?
