It’s no secret that the CAPTAIN AMERICA film is easily my most anticipated upcoming Marvel movie, not only from my love of the character but also my love for the costume they have created. Of course, the excitement has now been multiplied due to Chris Evans, the man who will don the costume, talking about his thoughts on it.
Check out what he had to say about the costume after the jump!
“It’s an amazing costume. Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it’s tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top – and given the fact that the movie takes place in the ‘40s and ‘50s – they’ve done a really good job of making it look really cool. I think everyone that’s going to see it is going to say, ‘Okay, well done. Well done. I think they got the costume right. The casting they completely ruined, but the costume they nailed!”
Oh Chris Evans, you know you’ll be great as Captain America! No need for such modesty!
He doesn’t stop there, he actually goes on to discuss the shield a bit. According to him, they haven’t actually picked out which shield they will use yet. Here’s what he had to say:
“We’ve been testing a lot of shields. Last time I was in London they had six shields and I had to hold each one, see if I was comfortable with each one, see which one we all thought had the right look. The thing is pretty heavy, so I’m not sure I can throw it that far! I’ll give it my best shot, but hopefully they’ll have some sort of stunt shield when it comes to actually chucking it!”
They can’t be far from their final decision with Comic-Con quickly approaching, a place where there most likely will be some pretty big reveals. We still have a ways to go before the actual film is released. July 22nd, 2011 can’t get here any sooner.
