Cap Will Have Multiple Costumes and Shields in Captain America

Cap Will Have Multiple Costumes and Shields in Captain America

Chris Evans says that we won't see the Captain America that we're familiar with "until the third act" of the Captain America movie!

Actor Chris Evans sat down with MTV to discuss his new movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, which he took a break from filming to attend the San Diego Comic-Con, and spoke at length about the characteristic star-spangled costume and shield.

Evans confirmed that the suit would be "chunkier" and utilitarian:

"It's not this sleek spandex suit. It looks like something you might wear in the '40s in the middle of a war."

He went on to say that the costume will go through different stages as Steve Rogers transitions from regular Joe to Captain America:

"There's a couple stages and initially in the script, Steve isn't Captain America right away. He gets the injection and isn't asked to go to war right off the bat. He's used in different areas and different facets, so he has different stages of the suit. I don't think he actually jumps into the final suit until the third act of the film."

Cap's shield will also evolve throughout the film:

"Well, during the USO tour, there's obviously a different shield. And he goes on a couple missions, he goes AWOL and kind of takes the USO shield. And eventually, once he's kind of allowed to be this soldier, and they outfit him with the new uniform, they decide to outfit him with an updated shield."

I think it does. The USO Cap will likely look a lot like the classic costume, but more rinky dink.

Cool Brent! I bet he will have the shield shaped shield first with USO troop and then upgrade to the vibranium one later.

My concern is where will he get his training if he's busy running around as a clown after getting the injection

so we will see the triangular shield too. I think the whole uso and using him as a cheerleader to 'uplift the troops morale' is really cheesy BUT hey its canon, its comic book accurate so go Marvel and Marvel fanboys

@Juggs: He likely gets some training before the USO tour. Maybe some before he even gets the injection.

That all sounds good to me! Although I'd like to see him fighting in the war a little sooner than the third act, him going AWOL in the classic suit with triangular shield would be very cool! I just hope he doesn't get frozen on his first mission and that they'll skip ahead a few years or something in order to make it clear he's a fairly battle hardened soldier! :P

Wow, they pulled the vid almost immediately! I wonder if this was something Evans was supposed to keep quiet for the time being...

Originally Cap had a secret identity as a regular soldier, right? Maybe they will do that again, then at least he will also be going through regular boot camp.

Is Chris gonna dye his hair blonde this time?

Ditto to JoshW. We definitely need some time laps footage indicating he saw a lot of action.

I look at him and still can't think "Captain America". He's just too well known, and will have the Torch's shadow over him. They should have found a blonde unknown for the role.(IMO)

He already put in 5 days of shooting with dark hair, so I don't think he's going to be blonde. Unless they serum changes his hair color too...
DaenerysTargaryen
DaenerysTargaryen - 7/26/2010, 12:08 PM
well everything has to be darker these days. Guess hair color is no exception

@ MassEx: yeah he did. He was undercover as a regular soldier for a while in the beginning.

They said he was rigorously trained in hand to hand, tactical and battlefield training for six months after getting the treatment.
He may have went through basic after that just to learn the nuts and bolts of soldiering but it was never stated

@ Char el: I don't think they will but I think they should. :(

@ TheQuestion: Hope so.

They should teach the guy Bagua, Jiu Jutsu, Judo, Gymnastics, and Krav Maga. I don't think Krav was invented back then but who cares. Someone that does what he does would need to know that stuff and a lot more!

@Juggernaut: How's about you show some respect to the REAL USO guys, many of whom risked and even lost their lives, by not referring to them as clowns?

Being part of the USO does not necessarily mean you weren't trained, as they came from all walks of life, not just the famous Hollywood types like Bob Hope - especially I would have thought, if you were not just any old USO performer, but a national symbol.

"They entertained in military bases both at home and overseas, often placing their own lives in danger by traveling or performing under hazardous conditions - some losing their lives."

Some members of the USO were/are even highly trained military experts - "The nation's top military officer, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, recently returned from his fifth USO tour overseas." - so even Admirals can be part of the USO.

Some of the ignorance displayed here is downright disrespectful to the memories of people who risked and even lost their lives for a greater cause.

Having said that, I'm sure that just being an entertainer, no matter how valued, will chafe with Steve Rogers, so that's why he'd go AWOL - to do MORE, because he has the capability.

I think it's a brilliant move - it's both realistic and a GREAT reason for why he'd wear the flag in the first place.

@Erickz: I'm with you dude - of all the things that really are important, hair colour is the very least of them.

I hate to get hung up on it, but I will be disappointed if he is not as blond as Cap in the comics.

I still think that Steve Rogers should already be a tactical genius BEFORE he get the treatment. That should be one of the reasons they pick him.

I hope the triangle shield is in the movie somehow. It seems that way and then he gets the final, circular shield at the end.

@ KiethM: I didn't intend any disrespect toward ANY soldiers. I would never do that. Every soldier I meet I thank for their service.

I did intend disrespect toward the possibility that he may spend the time he should be learning how to fight as an entertainer instead.

Anyway you were obviously offended and I truly truly sincerely apologize.

That is awesome insight that I am sure Marvel was very excited for Chris Evans to share with the world. LOL Makes since though. The suits seems to evolve with every character as they go.
