Chris Evans Talks Captain America Script

Chris Evans Talks Captain America Script When it comes to " Captain America ," it's not exactly the easiest sell — after all, it's not every day that one sees a superhero running on the battlefield of World War II in a star-spangled suit. But for Chris Evans — the actor portraying Steve Rogers in the Marvel Studios film — shying away from a comic book film's more fantastical moments is not just a difficult task, but a potentially unnecessary one. "The nature of comic book movies in general — I mean, with Wolverine, you've got swords coming out of a guy's knuckles — it's all a bit fantastical," Evans told MTV News when asked about the tone of "Captain America" and comic book movies in general. "It's about finding a good script, a good director and finding a way to ground it in reality," he added. "Even if it is a bit dream-like, as long as you stay consistent, if you can get the audience to commit in the begin

Chris Evans Talks Captain America

Chris Evans Talks Captain America We've all seen the concept art of Chris Evans as Captain America and today we have some news about the costume and shield from the horses mouth. It’s an amazing costume. Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it’s tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top – and given the fact that the movie takes place in the ‘40s and ‘50s – they’ve done a really good job of making it look really cool. There will be two Captain America outfits, one will be a show costume and the other is a battle ready costume. I think everyone that’s going to see it is going to say, 'Okay, well done. Well done. I think they got the costume right. The casting they completely ruined, but the costume they nailed! [In the Fantastic Four  suit] …you could move around quite well. This is a little more cumbersome. It doesn’t exactly breathe the way the Fantastic Four costume breathed, but it’s the way it should be. Any type of World War II

Captain America's Costume Details

Captain America's Costume Details Captain America's iconic costume has been spotted in the wild, and it has been messed with. The guys over at JoBlo has had a look at the suit Chris Evans will be wearing in the upcoming film Captain America: The First Avenger , and though he can't share any images from the costume tests, he does reveal some rather surprising changes from what you might be familiar with. Cap's famous temple wings? Gone ! Those trademark wings that have come to represent Captain America as much as his shield? Looks like we won't be seeing them. In fact, Cap's hood is gone , too. Replacing it is an Army helmet that comes over Cap's eyes to give him a traditional superhero "domino mask" look, with a black strap that wraps over his ears and under his chin. He's got an old-school utility belt Cap's belt will be doing more than just holding up his pants—we'll be seeing a Batman-style utility belt, with brown po

Tommy Lee Jones Cast In Captain America

Tommy Lee Jones Cast In Captain America Last month is was rumored that Tommy Lee Jones was up for a role in Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger. This rumor has been confirmed to be true by actress Hayley Atwell who plays Steve Rodger's love interest Peggy Carter. Watch her let the cat out of the Bag at the 2:20 mark. It still isn't confirmed what role Jones will play in the Joe Johnston directed film, but we can speculate that he will take on the role of General Chester Phillips , the military officer who chose Steve Rogers for the super soldier program and who helped in his training soon after he took the serum. Here is a full rundown of the character according to the comic books. General Phillips hand picked 4-F army reject Steve Rogers to become a part of the 1940 Operation Reborn experiment. In particular, he admired Rogers patriotic spirit. Later, Phillips was a part of picking Rogers as the eventual Super-Soldier Captain America. Phillips also oversaw

Howard Stark To Appear In Captain America

Howard Stark To Appear In Captain America It would make sense to have Howard Stark may an appearance in the upcoming Captain America film. In Iron Man 2, Howard Stark is played by John Slattery, who appears in a video reel flashback scene and plays an important part in unraveling a key plot mystery. How big Stark's part in Captain America will be is unknown at this time. Jon Favreau let the world know on MTV that Tony's father would be in the upcoming film. Asked about Stark senior's possible appearance in Cap.. "Yeah, because he was around then. ['Captain America'] is World War II. It wouldn't be that same actor, probably, because he would be much younger.[Howard Stark] was starting out during that time, and [he] was involved with the war effort, much like Howard Hughes," Please Leave A Comment- Source- CBM

The First Avenger: Captain America To Leave The Door Open For Winter Soldier?

The First Avenger: Captain America To Leave The Door Open For Winter Soldier? I am not a familiar with this story and what has been happening the last few years with comic books. But I will break down what I know and maybe we all can learn something new. This may contain spoilers to the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America film and sequels so you have been Warned, if they go in this direction. Sources inside the The First Avenger: Captain America production are now telling me that the Captain America movie continuity is being developed to leave the door open for the Winter Soldier to appear, should there be a sequel. Bucky will be seemingly killed when Cap is frozen in ice, as he was in the original post-WWII Captain America stories, but he'll take on some serious injuries along the way, allowing him to show up again in the future with a cyborg arm. Previous thinking at Marvel Studios had Bucky surviving the war and meeting Cap in the modern day as an old man, whic

Joe Johnston Talks Chris Evans And How He Got The Captain America Role

Joe Johnston Talks Chris Evans And How He Got The Captain America Role Joe Johnston the director of The First Avenger: Captain America Film talked to Earths Mightiest about the upcoming film and how Chris Evans nabbed the role of Steve Rodger (Captain America.) So what was it exactly they were looking for? Johnston explains. Casting Captain America is really casting two roles...Steve Rogers before and after the transformation from 98 pound weakling to perfect physical specimen. I can't divulge how we're going to do it, but the performance will be Chris Evans from beginning to end. An actor playing Captain America has to embody that back story and let it inform his understanding of his new self. One of the interesting aspects of the character is the effect that kind of total transformation would have on the his psyche. It gives the character more dimension and the actor playing him a wider range of interesting choices. Johnston goes on and explains why he chose Chris Evans

Chris Evans To Play Captain America

Chris Evans To Play Captain America The wait is over and now we have confirmation that Chris Evans will play Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America. Sources tell us the actor has not only accepted Marvel's offer, first detailed on Friday, but that the dealmaking moved so fast it's now all about dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Evans was offered the role in Marvel Studios' production last week, but there was some question of whether he would accept. Factoring in to the choice was the fact that Evans played Johnny Storm, the flame-covered superhero known as the Human Torch in Fox's "Fantastic Four" movies. Was he ready to play another superhero and take on the trappings that come with such a high-profile part? Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

Chris Evans Front Runner To Play Captain America

Chris Evans Front Runner To Play Captain America Chris Evans is inching one step closer to playing Steve Rodgers in the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America film. Chris  has already worn a super hero costume having starred as Johnny Storm, the fire-covered superhero in the two “Fantastic Four” movies that Fox released in 2005 and 2007. Evans' offer would include starring in up to three "America" movies plus "The Avengers" movies and appearances in several other Marvel movies. While an offer to star in "America" may seem like something you don't have to mull over too long, one possible complication is that Evans is committed to co-starring in the Anna Faris romantic comedy "What's Your Number?" Both are scheduled to shoot this summer. Evans wasn’t in the initial round of actors being considered, which for the most part leaned to the newcomer side. Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter, Wilson Blethel and Mike Vog
