CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till release

^ It's not because the Nazis are the bad guys if that's what you mean. ;)

I don't know much about the comic, but is it normal to find him frozen in ice? Is he the Avatar?
Cap being frozen in ice at the end of World War II (he was trying to stop yet another nefarious plot) and then being rediscovered in the modern era is a huge part of his story. In the comics, he was thawed out in the 1960s, but since in the movies he'll be thawed out in the 2000s, the culture shock's going to be even stronger.
Well, he was thawed out in the "present". The 1960s is just when the first version of the story was printed. :)

"You people pay... for water??"

Wonder what he thinks about the TOS reboot.

He likes Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.

Though I sometime think the culture shock angle might be over played. After all in the 1940s he hob nobbed with an flying flaming Android and an Atlantean Prince who thinks swimtrunks are formal wear, used advanced technology (including jet aircraft and television) and occasionally fought aliens. He's probably wondering where the jetpacks and flying cars are. ;)

After Captain America gets thawed out, he discovers internet porn and is never seen again.

Captain America is easily the most popular superhero that I don't know anything about. I've learned more about him from the trailers than I ever knew before.

That's what I said. :wtf:

And nobody was arguing with you.

I know, it just felt like Nerys Myk was pointing out something I hadn't. :shrug: No worries, just thought it a little odd.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

Just worded it differently. It's okay.

*pats Skywalker on the head*
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

Just adding some clarity for the folks who might not get comic book time.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

Regarding the question about the mask....I think Captain Craig hit it on the nail with his answer. The studio did the same thing with Chris Hemsworth and "Thor". We didn't see Thor with his helmet on in any of the promotional material I don't think. They're promoting the star as the face of the movie. Different tactic than DC obviously but I guess it works for Marvel.

There is also that the Marvel characters are "out of mask" a lot while in costume in addition to a secret identity that really isn't secret.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

^ That's true about most comic book film characters though it seems.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

it's a shame we'll never have an Ultimate Spider-Man movie. he constantly loses his mask and gets really annoyed about it. especially in one story with the UMU X-Men where he yells 'Why does everyone have to find out I'm Peter Parker??!!!' only to have Beast say 'uh, we didn't actually know your name...'
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

^ That injoke was ramped up one last time in the final issue as Peter fought the Sinister Six with his mask off in his neighborhood with people recognizing and trying to help him while he tries to protect Aunt May and Gwen.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

^^^^
I'm not watching any more TV spots. I've avoided the last 3-4.
My excitement is already high so I'm wanting to save whatever few new nuggets are in there for the big screen. Savor them there. :)

At this point I want to see a superhero film where the hero manages to keep his secret identity secret for the entire movie. Just for the novelty.

Seriously, what was the last superhero movie where nobody found out or figured out the hero's ID before the end? I don't see every single comic book movie out there, so I'm genuinely asking.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

Well, Thor never really had a secret identity, so nobody had to figure anything out.

:wtf: ...Ever hear of Don Blake? Sigurd Jarlson? Eric Masterson? Jake Olson? Thor's had more secret identities than most.
