Captain America

Do we really not have a thread for this yet? :-X

"Scripts had been developed that took place half in World War Two, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man," says Marvel chief Kevin Feige. "So we finally said, 'If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?' Well, we'd set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-ass Captain America movie we wanted to."

"I've always loved Raiders and the tone that it had," says director Joe Johnston. "It was period but didn't feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we're doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It's funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action."

And he's not just an American hero, argues Evans. "I think he's the ideal human," says Evans. "Not just American. It's what being a good person is. Steve's managed to overcome all the shortcomings he's had in life and he does what's good and what he believes is right."

Wasn't there a hidden movie reference in Iron Man 2?

Hulk had a reference, with Tony Stark appearing to talk to the general. There is also a deleted scene with Cap's shield in the ice.

At the end of Iron Man 1, Nick Fury appears post credits. End of Iron Man 2, they find Thor's hammer.

I'm curious if they can get all these characters to mesh in The Avengers.

So, excuse the geek in me, but what the fuck is the Human Torch from Fantastic 4 doing as Captain America?

How are they going to swing that crossover, especially in light of the Avengers movie that's supposed to be one big orgy of the Marvel Universe all these recent Marvel flicks have been leading up to?

Fantastic 4 aren't part of the Avengers.

Uh. Why were there scenes from "Rules of Engagement" in that trailer?

Did I miss something?

It's just a trailer that some random person made. Looks like there were scenes from "Valkyrie" also.

There's lots of that shit out there.

Plus the blockbuster movie Push...I was kinda half paying attention to it the first time I watched it, but now I realize why I was confused by it.

yea. Not the best trailer but after a secondary search there just aren't many/any good ones out there.

I agree with the premise, however for every 5th shitty comic movie they do make 1 decent. (see new Batman and Iron Man)

What are you talking about? Ang Lee's Hulk was awesome! Especially when Hulk turned to Major Talbot and said, "I wish I knew how to quit you."
