Earlier on we put up a low-res scan of the image above, but now it’s available in much better quality, so we can really get a good look. The Image comes from the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly, and it is actually our first look at Chris Evans in full costume, including helmet. Previously we’ve only seen him without the helmet, or the full costume, but being worn by a stunt double.
It’s an interesting costume, not least because it seems it’s actually trying to take into account the style of the 1940s and the materials and technology they had available. The comic version generally looks rather sleeker and more space age. And while the wings on his helmet are they, they don’t stick out in a rather odd style, as they tend to do on the page. It all certainly suggests this may be a rather different superhero movie than we’re used to.
Captain America: The First Avenger reaches the UK on July 22nd.
