Nothing against Chris Evans, but I'm ass-deep in Buffy Season Four, and I want Marc Blucas as Captain America, so badly.

[MaxPower]

Oooh, Riley would have kicked ass as Cap, nice call.

But Riley is so boring. I mean REALLY boring. Now Matt Keesler from The Middleman would have made an awesome Cap.

[KnightWing]

Riley is too stiff for Cap. And he's a lot older-looking now.

Filming in New York, or as it's better known, Manchester

That's right, the home of Coronation Street, Morrissey and the most overrated band in the Britpop movement. Great city, but nothing like New York.

Ian, your link leads to the comic book adaptation section of the forums.

I thought the Coral were from Merseyside.

Whoops! I've edited in the correct one now.

Photos of a Cap stunt double and some Nazi thugs.

[JackFetch]

That outfit is craptacular. Also, what's with the giant bulge in his crotch? They aren't making a porno.

[KnightWing]

It's a costume made for the stunt shots, not the close-ups. It's probably shaped a bit differently (I'm guessing it's got more padding and whatnot).

I noticed the crotch, too. Ha.

[dc20willsave]

Well, the Super-Soldier formula did put Steve Rogers at the peak of human potential. Why do you think it was called The Battle of the Bulge?

[KnightWing]

[Molly]

So... wait? Does Scott Pilgrim have to kick that guy's ass, too?

[D-Man]

I agree with KnightWing. This is a costume designed for stunts. Made roomy for extra padding and movement. However, having said that, I have to comment on the anachronistic shoulder pads and abdomen pads. If they are representative of the actual costume then I have a problem. They look way to modern and out of period. I'm willing to reserve judgement but those pads worry me just a little.

Those Hydra agents are pretty badass, though. Right?

[Stavros]

Most of the outfit looks stunt-alternatish, but it's the helmet that worries me. That looks terrible enough by itself.

[JackFetch]

The helmet is the worst part.

[SuaveStar]

I still like the shield....everything else.....blah.

[KnightWing]

I like the helmet for a WWII-era Cap.

[Stavros]

I like the helmet for a WWII-era Cap.

Nah, the WWII ultimate cap should be that era's version.

Badass.

[KnightWing]

Um, no.

[Molly]

You can't possibly dislike that costume.

[KnightWing]

It's fine, I just don't like how the mask and helmet are separate (and how the mask isn't the actual cap cowl).

It's really great and all, I'd just rather have a combination of that with the traditional comics cowl, which is what the movie's doing.

[Stavros]

But it's far closer to a practical military uniform. Cap really is just a human, and I like the fact that what he wears is basically a variation on what everyone else is wearing.

I mean, to be honest the worst part of Caps normal outfit, especially when transferring to live action, is the helmet/cowl. It looked terrible in the old movie, it looks even worse here. I think its something to do with the wings and the utter cheesy non-practicality of the face-mask. The ultimate WWII one looks far more realistic for the period.
