Captain America Flag Costume Explained in the movie

8 February 2010
No Comments »

Have you ever wondered why Captain America is wearing a flag costume? Well, Joe Johnston wants to answer this unraised question in his upcoming Captain America movie:

Captain America Trailer

“The costume is a flag, but the way we’re getting around that is we have Steve Rogers forced into the USO circuit. After he’s made into this super-soldier, they decide they can’t send him into combat and risk him getting killed. He’s the only one and they can’t make more. So they say, ‘You’re going to be in this USO show’ and they give him a flag suit. He can’t wait to get out of it.
It was never in the comics, because they didn’t really need it. In comics, he puts on the costume and the reader just justifies because of the nature of the medium.”
Director Joe Johnston


Let’s hope that they will let us see the costume made for this Captain America movie soon!

Red Skull as Captain America Villain

It’s been confirmed (understand “reliable hearsay”) that Red Skull will be the main villain in the upcoming Captain America movie directed by Joe Johnston.

“Virtually the entire story except the bookends are in World War II because we all recognize we have one chance to tell the origin story of how he became Captain America, you can’t tell a modern story and then go back and tell the origin story. If you’re going to do it, let’s do it. Let’s do it first. Everyone wanted to tell an origin story. There was a version where it was a modern story and it didn’t work.”
Director Joe Johnston



So Red Skull, as Captain America’s greatest foe, is the right pick!

Captain America Movie Update

CaptainDirector Joe Johnston gave an a short update regarding the upcoming Captain America movie:

Captain America Movie Trailer

“We’re in prep. Rick Heinrichs is production-designing and we’re set up down in Manhattan Beach [California]. It’s the part of the process that I love the most, we have eight or ten really talented artists, and we all just sit around all day and draw pictures and say, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if we could do this?’ It’s that phase of the production where money doesn’t matter: ‘Let’s put all the greatest stuff up on the wall and see what we can afford.’
The stuff in the ’60s and ’70s comic books we’re sort of avoiding. We’re going back to the ’40s, and then forward to what they’re doing with Captain America now.”
Director Joe Johnston

Director Joe Johnston should fast-track this Captain America movie so we can move to the Avengers movie. Because with global warming under way Captain America can’t remain frozen in the ice forever (Captain America at some point get indeed stuck in the ice and spends decades frozen in a block of ice in a state of suspended animation, until the Avengers manage to locate and save him.):

If nobody comes to unfroze him asap for the Avengers movie, it’s gonna be really hard to bring Captain America back to life (picture courtesy That’s My Skull)!

CaptainThanks to the Box Office Magazine we may learn a bit more about Director Joe Johnston’s take on Captain America, the upcoming live-action movie that will be released in July 2011:

Captain America directed by Joe Johnston

“It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction. It’s the origin story of Captain America. It’s mostly period—there are modern, present-day bookends on it—but it’s basically the story of how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America. The great thing about Captain America is he’s a super hero without any super powers. Which is why this story, among the hundreds of super hero stories, appealed to me the most. He can’t fly, he can’t see through walls, he can’t do any of that stuff. He’s an every man who’s been given this amazing gift of transformation into the perfect specimen—the pinnacle of human perfection.
How does that affect him? What does that mean for him emotionally and psychologically?”
Director Joe Johnston


Sounds like Joe Johnston (who doesn’t look like a comic-book fan…) did some research about Captain America! And I’m glad his grasps of the character’s personality will be a real boon for the film! Impatient to see his take on Captain America!

Captain America Movie

Captain AmericaA new live-action Captain America movie is set to be released in July 2011. The film will directed by Joe Johnston (who helmed Jurassic Park 3, the upcoming Wolfman movie) based on a script written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Filming of Captain America should start in June 2010. So I guess the movie cast of Captain America will be officially announced in the coming months.

Captain America Movie

Plot:
“After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America’s ideals.”

Marvel has been slowly building up the buzz around Captain America with Easter-eggs hidden in the previous Marvel movies (like the Super-Soldier serum seen in Hulk, or Captain America’s shield briefly seen in Iron Man). So the movie Captain America, the first Avenger, has to be awesome otherwise the fans would be quite disappointed…

Anyway, who do you think would be the best fit to wield the shield of Captain America? Sam Worthington maybe?

will it be Captain America vs Hulk in the next Avengers Movie?

Thanks to WorstPreviews we may have a look to the alternate opening of the Incredible Hulk that will on the DVD released at the end of this month.

Here below the Incredible Hulk alternate opening:

Incredible Hulk Alternate Opening

I’m striving to see Captain America, but so far no convincing proof for me… It is said that he -actually his shield- appears at 2:22 mark of this alternate opening of the Incredible Hulk.

Well, I’ll have faith until I can buy a DVD so I can make my mind. For now the screen cap of Captain America frozen in the ice will be enough:

Captain America is showing up, frozen in the ice, in the DVD of the Incredible Hulk!

More Easter eggs at: Captain America Crossover, Easter Eggs and Clues

Someone should hurry to deliver Captain America from the ice though: I’m worrying for his health!

Update: Captain America is indeed in this opening, at the 2:22 mark you may spot his shield in the bottom left corner, youtube user kingmanshh has a better version and made some captures:


Click on the picture to enlarge:
you’ll see Captain America under his shield, frozen in the ice!

Captain America Frozen In The Ice In Incredible Hulk DVD

Captain America, the greatest superhero from Marvel comics.The chaps from FilmschoolRejects have been analyzing their promotional copy of the upcoming DVD of the Incredible Hulk and they spotted an Easter egg: it is the cameo of Captain America once promised by Director Louis Leterrier. Indeed you may remember his words:

“There’s a point when Bruce Banner gives up on his quest for the cure and decides to kill himself. So he travels far North and reaches the Arctic Circle. You might have seen bits of it in some of the promos. The result was a very dark and strong scene, which Marvel, me and everyone else considered to be too hard to young audiences to take, so we’ve cut it. Having that said, when Bruce arrives at his destination he meets up with Captain America! At some point this week, we will make it available on the internet – but I cannot tell you where or when – and the material will definitely be on the DVD.”
Director Louis Leterrier

So here is the appearance of Captain America in the Incredible Hulk:

Captain America is showing up, frozen in the ice, in the DVD of the Incredible Hulk!

I am sure you are craving for you own DVD of the Incredible Hulk by now. Cannot miss the occasion to catch a glimpse of Captain America!

Update: Watch the alternate opening of teh Incredible Hulk that is said showing Captain America frozen in the ice at: Incredible Hulk Alternate Opening With Captain America?

Captain America Movie

You have probably heard of the Captain America movie set to be released in 2011. But do you know that it won’t be the first Captain America movie? There was indeed a movie featuring the hero in 1990, it was starring at Salinger as Captain America:

The First Avenger: Captain America Is A Reboot Movie!

It may not have been a real box-office success but I did honestly enjoy this first Captain America movie. But Captain America deserves much more. So I don’t mind a reboot Captain America movie.
