Oh my stars and garters, a big screen salute to the comic book's Captain America is set for release sometime during summer 2011! Marvel Studios will be bringing their pumped-up patriot to star in a feature film called "Captain America: The First Avenger" and it will feature actor Chris Evans in the signature spandex suit.
The plot in a bean shell; a US soldier gains super-human strength, power and agility after taking an experimental serum and ends up saving the world during WWII.
At Comic-con in San Diego, Chris Evans told MTV that he will wear several versions of a Captain America costume throughout the movie - right now he is still in the fitting stage of the costume process.
Evans does reveal that because the action takes place during WWII, the superhero costume will have a "chunkier" look to it to serve the time period better - it's not a "sleek spandex suit" but basically a 40s-inspired soldier costume.
Also, instead of the iconic round shield ringed in red-white-and-blue and marked with a star in the center, there are hints that the shield for the Captain America costume will be quite different.
Evans explains that the look is "updated" to fit with the plot of the movie.
Whether you're rooting for the Captain America costume or are a die-hard fan of the old style Captain America suit, you can be darn sure that this superhero's look is going to be popular for Halloween costumes this year and next.
No word yet on when licensed costumes from the flick will be hitting the market, but you can still get comic-book Avenger costumes to show your support for this famous fictional crime-fighter.
Great for a Halloween party, cosplay event or just bustin' up the bad guys!
