The Natural Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 “It was about a real world grounding approach to the character, in the spirit of Ed Brubaker’s book, which is postmodern and deconstructionist and a grounded thriller,” Joe Russo tells SFX. “We wanted to put Cap in a space where he’s a special forces operative for SHIELD who goes on missions around the world that are clandestine and sometimes require a certain level of anonymity or stealth." Many a comic fan became concerned that there was a possibility that Marvel was attempting to "take the america" out of Captain America when the first images surfaced of a costume that prominently featured only one of the three colors that are the signature of the United States. Joe Russo explains exactly what went into picking this specific costume for the film. "We wanted to use his Super Soldier outfit from the comic books as a way to represent, thematically, his place in the world of SHIELD and the difference between working for SHIELD and being Captain America. That’s something that gets explored on a very concrete level in terms of what outfits are used in the film. We didn’t feel like we were messing with the icon. People can say that they’re fans of the books if they’re only loyal to the ‘60s and ‘70s version of the character – well, then you’re a fan of that version of the character, but if you’ve been reading the books till the current runs then this is a journey that the character goes on and it’s a pretty explicit journey. We just felt like we were being faithful to the more recent issues of the books. The movie has a very thematic component in terms of the use of costumes. When you come to see the film I think you’ll understand why we made the choice we made…” Credit: comicbookmovie.com Always had an interest in the costume making process for comic book characters in comic book films.

TheVileOne Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's pretty clear what's going on here. SHIELD makes him wear a crummy, subdued stealth costume that he doesn't like, color his shield different. Then he picks up a version of his old costume from the Smithsonian near the end. In the first movie he realized the costume could make him a better leader and a symbol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we might get a Black Widow solo film. I'd like that. Judging by the Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailers, they've done a great job with the Winter Soldier and I'd like him to get a solo film though that depends on his fate in the film. I'd like to see a Loki solo film because of Tom Hiddleston's performances as the character. Be interesting to get one on a villain. We'll probably find out some of the Marvel Phase Three films at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antacular Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Doesn't everyone know who Cap is by now? What's the point of the mask? Like they did with Thor's winged helmet, Cap would look better off if they ditched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was all pumped when the Marvel slate came up on a trailer before Robocop, then it was just for the stupid new X-Men movie. ASM2 & Cap followed during the parade of 8 trailers in total. I thought it was interesting that DOFP had the Marvel slate right off the top while Spidey & Cap both got about half way through the trailers before throwing them up. Seems like Fox's strategy is to bank heavily on the Marvel name, Sony's all about the visuals, while Marvel itself is focusing on the storyline. Of course, I hate the X-Men, so YMMV.

Big Fresh Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I heard they wanna add a love interest for Scott Lang in Ant-Man and they're gonna make it Hank Pym's daughter. If that's the case, I really, really hope it's Catherine Zeta Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
