During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum.

Captain America: The First Avenger Trailer Breakdown & Analysis
So that scene, skinny Rogers, reminds me of what Jack Kirby might have been like back then.
I see alotta ppl sayin the garbage shield, Dr Erskine speech &other such moments are lame.. when really if done right these will be THE defining moments that make the film..
Cant help but get the feeling some ppl just want to see a big hyper muscular dummy in a blue suit kick nazi-ass.. When thats NOT what Steve Rogers is.. "you just never give up do ya??" is what the guy sez to him before he punches the crap out of him.. THATS the key to Caps character the fact that nomatter how badly the odds are stacked against him.. He JUST WONT BACK DOWN.. &will Never Give up even when all is lost..THAT along with a strong moral center regardless of what govt was around is what drew me to the character all those years ago..&hopefully this is what theyll focus on instead of the bait jingoism some ppl are goin for
Also it seems their goin for the Amalgam effect as with the other succesful Marvel ventures ie Iron Man etc Bucky being his protector is an Ultimate take on Caps story.. &makes more sense &adds to the ironic twist as Cap will endup being HIS (&the nations) protector
" @Snakeguy: It was the 40s. They didn't have great costume making technology back then...or something like that. "The costume in the movie poster looks cool.
But on screen under normal lights with that mask/helmet...it looks pretty bad. Maybe we're seeing different costumes in the trailer as he transitions from his USO pajamas to the Howard Stark suit.
The classic Captain America costume is as hard to pull off in real life as the Superman costume.
Why would Red Skull reveal himself? What better way to throw your opponent off than show your real, nasty-ass mug?!
I'm pretty sure that was also sebastian stan beating him up in the alley. I don't really like the whole thing with bucky originally being bigger and tougher and better than steve. (probably only because it's different than the comics.) oh well. its still my most anticipated movie this summer.
What I think you're missing is that it's pretty clear when Cap is running down the street he's chasing down the Nazi/Hydra spy that wrecks the experiment and kills the good doctor. The chase likely climaxes with Cap following the assassin's escape vehicle (the sub) underwater and forcing it to emerge.
I just hope that the movie doesn't follow Ultimate Cap route by making Captain America as unlikeable and unappealing of a jerk as possible.
Well, it's not like it's the first time." Woohoo!! Captain America!!! Although having Chris Evans Play 2 guys in the marvel universe!! still not too sure how that will play out!! "
Ryan Reynolds was both Hannibal King in Blade and Deadpool.
Rebecca Romijn in X-men & the Punisher.
And many more!
Not counting all the Stan Lee camoes of course! :P
Well, Chris Evans' probably the first to get 2 leading roles though.
so im guessing no invaders???
will bucky become winter soldier or grow old?
will cap get both of his costumes in this film??? (NOTICE that at 1:52 he is wearing the old version of the uniform) (you left that out G-Man)
will evans grow some stones to actually be fit to lead the avengers in d coming year? (anybody else get that feeling that this isnt d strong patriotic cap that we know n love?)
i like evans as an actor n i love cap but i dont know how to feel about this movie
The plane was also in the trailer, hear me out the plane may not seem like much but, in actuality it seems alot like a stealth that the NAZIS were working on but, the war ended b4 more than a couple of planes could be made and they were never used. Think about though the NAZIS having a stealth bomber could have changed the tide of I war and i bet it will play a pivotal point in the move. This really deserves worth mentioning.
I actually thought Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch was spot on casting - I wonder how they'll reboot that series.
@G-Man: It looks like, in the bit at the end, it's still scrawny Steve being shot at by Peggy, so it would make sense why he's using the shield...
Between that, and a few of the setup shots before he becomes HUGE, specifically THIS look of (what I implied as) concern/anticipation:
It would have been so cool if they could have found a way to work Wolverine in as one of the Howling Commandos.
And it's !@#$ing awsome.
(Inside Hydra's headquarters)
Hydra soldier A: Dude there is no way we can loose!
Hydra soldier B: Heck yeah man it will take something greater then the Atomic Bomb to beat us!
(Both soldiers high five when Cap bursts in with a handgun.)
Hydra soldier A: Well we're screwed.
Truly, this movie has plenty of influences from Mark Millar's Ultimates! Hope Marvel acknowledges the bombastic Scot! Cant wait this one!
Ok as somebody who has taken every conceivable opportunity to throw this movie under the bus, the trailer made me change positions. It at least will not be as bad as the corman fantastic four movie. That said it has potential, so long as Evan's doesn't constantly use his, raspy attempt at a serious voice. I actually started laughing. Speaking of spectacular acting, him and megan fox in a would make for a oscar contender.
I am seriously looking forward to seeing Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull. He's one of a select few actors who can play an unapologetically despicable villain without seeming ridiculous.
Thanks for the breakdown. It wasn't too "complex" of a trailer, so I don't think it really needed a breakdown, but thanks for it anyway I guess.
i think we see the howling commandoes with captain america, seeing dum dum dugan in there, so im sure we will probaly see nick fury, and maybe we could get a wolverine cameo(Hopin)
cant wait for this movie
