I wonder if they are going to have him look all scrawny before he takes the serum. That was one of my favorite things in the first Spider-Man. I still don't know how they did it.

If I remember the commentary correctly, they digital imposed a scrawny double's body beneath Maguire's head, because he had to be in shape by the time filming began.

Also, scruffy clothes can help to an extent. The way someone walks and the clothes they wear can really hide a build if done right.

Perfect example is Chris Reeves in Superman. The way he walked and talked, and wearing a suit one size too big, made him almost look like an average person.

The official synopsis:

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment... Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Solider Serum and bombarded by "vita-rays." Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and as leader of the Avengers.

Anyone else notice what they messed up?

How did he enlist if he was only 12-15 years old? Great Depression started in 1929 and the US entered WWII in 1941.
