I see the words "concept art" on the poster.
The overall artwork of the poster is great but that uniform is not the Cap we all grew up reading.
Once again, no American Eagle wings on that Nazi helmet. If they insist on a helmet at least use the World War II American soldier style.
And, those smacked-ass red suspenders that are representing our flag's red stripes against the white torso, have got to go!
I know we will all go see this movie with great expectations but unless they give us the iconic character that we know, there will be some level of disappointment.
I continue to hope that "concept art" is just that, a concept.

Damn ! Just read the SuperHeroHype.com News post: SDCC: Director Joe Johnson on Captain America, "A slightly different spin on Steve Rogers".
I almost lost my lunch, breakfast and last night's dinner.
WE ARE SCREWED !
This will not be the Cap we want to see on the big screen.
This will not be the American patriotic icon that was created by Joe Simon & Jack Kirby.
"...he's not a flag-waver".

I heard that the director didn't want to make Cap "a flag waver". If he screws this up...remember Superman? Truth justice and the American Way? They butchered that. These Hollywood types better back off making Cap an "international" hero like he was quoted. I can't take it.

This is what Cap movie should be, Going to war. Anyway, Cap with a gun, a lot of the Golden Age Cap books had Cap running around with guns (Mainly Machine Guns).
Helmet looks dull, really really really want those wings on it, break up that 'dome' look or 'bald' look.
Can't wait for more movie posters and stuff. Might have to haunt Ebay for those stuff.

Why do I get the vibe that only Philly Avenger, a few others and myself on this board, really only understand that this movie has potential fail written all over it?? I'm baffled by some of the responses on this board. Let me try to explain another way to those who may be "gung-ho" no matter what. And pardon me for speaking for the others, but I gotta do what I gotta do: We understand it'a only a movie. We understand it's your right to be excited. We get that. We're not bitter. We're not bored. We're not here to bring anyone down and were not those "fanboys" that you read about. We're God-fearing, American loving people. All were saying is considering the sewage that's coming out of hollywood lately, how can you not see the PC bullshit writing on the wall when it comes to the Cap movie??
Doesn't it bother you considering were talking the ultimate American hero in comic form? If it doesn't bug you, hey more power to ya I guess. I just thought being a Captain America board and the stuff coming out of the director's mouth and the nonchalant attitude of a few of the cast, I would have thought this board would be more in an uproar. I guess it's not that important.
And believe me, I have bigger things to worry about than hollywood f-ing up another character/storyline/movie, but I just thought I'd see a little more passion from most of the posters here. I understand all the arguments, but let's not get semantic here, it is what it is: this movie should worry you for more reasons that you might think.......

From Superherohype.com:
Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnston told the Los Angeles Times the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots up to a certain point.
"We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers," said Joe Johnston, "He's a guy that wants to serve his country but he's not a flag-waver. We're reinterpretating sort of what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was."
"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston added. "He's just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don't change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier, you have to stay who you are inside, that's really what's important more than your strength and everything. It'll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate."
CAP WRITER'S TAKE:
This ... doesn't ... feel ... right. I'm not militant about cannon, like most of the overly-prescious comic book nerds out there. But still, Steve Rogers had nothing in life but his passion for America. He was sickly, his mom died, he had no money ... all he had was that flag to love. Why must they take that away too? It's the 1940s, people were still patriotic then!
If Chris Evans comes of as douchey and too-cool-for-school, I'm gonna be really disappointed. The Cap Movie that's been playing in my head all these years has been a characters study of the man under the mask: the tortured soul that is Steve Rogers. A man out of time. A man who doesn't fit in as an invalid, or a perfect human specimen. He's a man who can't find love, so he gives all he has to an ideal, to a country and its people.
In my head, the movie is almost a tragedy with depressing 1970s-style Kung Fu music. I can't quite describe it, so I'll quit now.

I've really been trying to be optimistic about the movie, despite all the other things that we have already heard, mostly from the mouth of Joe Johnston himself. Cap not being a flag-waver makes it even harder to be optimistic. "Reinterpretating sort of what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was" is not a good idea, and anytime you change something big about a character like that, the director should not be expecting the fans to appreciate it, like he just said. I want Cap the way he is. Not Ultimate Cap. The Cap that I grew up with. Anything else will disappoint me. Everytime this guy Johnston says something about this movie, the more I get worried about it.

Why must we always be apologetic for being born into this great nation. I for one am proud of where and how I was raised and the ideals it has instilled. I pledged allegiance to the flag every day as we were taught not to blindly follow, but recognize this nation's failings and always strive to make it better. The United States is not an utopian society but it is more open to change and correcting its mistakes than most. I want to see a Captain America that does not ask what his country can do for him, but what he can do for his country. This movies only saving grace may be the final control held by Marvel. We can only hope that Marvel Comics understands what makes this iconic character great and will fight to protect that in all of its interpretations.

When the Powers-that-be got the money, script and people to make the Cap movie, what can we the fans do but rant about it on the internet. There wasn't the net back in 89 and 78 to complain about those Cap movies. I ended up talking and listening to all the problems with those projects.
All we can do is hope for that they do a good job, it makes some money and bring some interest in Captain America.
I've said it before, talk about some of the problems of making a live-action Cap movie, and hopefully the PTB will listen and work out those issues.
