First Captain America Set Photos
The First Avenger: Captain America is currently filming in London, England and the first set photos have surfaced online.
In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, the stunt double of Chris Evans was seen wearing the superhero costume complete with his helmet, shield and belt while filming a motorbike scene. The scene involves chase between Steve Rogers and agents of H.Y.D.R.A.
Dominik Cooper as Howard Stark in Captain America
English actor Dominic Cooper has revealed that he will be playing a young Howard Stark in the upcoming Joe Johnston‘s project The First Avenger: Captain America.
So, this means that Cooper will actually be the third Howard Stark in the Marvel movie universe. And this time, Captain America’s film is set in the 1940s.
So, let’s all remind some details about this project. Iron Man director Jon Favreau confirmed that Howard Stark will be in Captain America, saying:
“Yeah, because he was around then. Captain America takes place during World War II. Howard Stark was starting out during that time, and he was involved with the war effort, much like Howard Hughes.”
Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Howard Stark Will Appear In Captain America
We promised we’ll be back with new updates of an upcoming Captain America movie. So, today we are here to inform you Marvel has announced that they have cast Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull.
But wait, that’s not the end! Howard Stark will also appear in the upcoming Captain America movie after we see him in Iron Man 2!
We already wrote about this one, so we’re not going to repeat the plot part again. At this moment, we know that July 22nd 2011 is set for a release date, and we know that quite interesting cast is involved with The First Avenger: Captain America project. So, let’s remind!
Olivia Munn as Wasp in Iron Man 2?
Everything started when this lady announced that she would be playing an established Marvel character. And than the speculation’s started. C’mon Olivia Munn, tell us all a secret!
But no, she just said: “…I can’t talk specifics because it’s Iron Man 2!” Yeah, well thanks for this kind of help, girl!
Ok, that sound’s confusing, we know! So let’s start from the beginning! We all had an information that Olivia Munn will have a cameo in Iron Man 2. That cameo apparently was going be the voice for the “Jarvis” computer that is used by War Machine. But then, something changed, and she was called back in to film an actual scene.
Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter in Captain America
Hayley Atwell has been cast to star as Peggy Carter in this big upcoming Hollywood project, titled The First Avenger: Captain America.
Guys at Marvel’s were obsessed with finding a British actress for this role, and they got it! 28-year old Atwell will have a chance to play the lead female role in Joe Johnston‘s movie that we all expect to see in the US on July 22, 2011.
At first, we must admit that we were little bit confused. You remember we wrote about some rumors that included British actresses like Keira Knightley, Alice Eve and Emily Blunt.
Ok, we soon heard that Knightley passed on this one, as well as Blunt (because she probably thinks that she’s got good chances for a Catwoman in Batman 3) but on the other hand, at that moment, Alice Eve was said to be Marvel’s top choice for the role.
At the end, it was Eve or Atwell, and both actresses were called in for a second audition shortly after, and you get it pretty clear who won!
For those of you who still don’t have a clue who this young lady is, let us remind you that you all had a chance to watch her in the television miniseries The Prisoner or Saul Dibb’s The Dutchess, as well as in Woody Allen’s 2007 film Cassandra’s Dream.
Alice Eve or Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter in Captain America
Alice Eve seems to be one of the front-runners for the role along with Hayley Atwell for the role of the Captain America heroine named Peggy Carter.
We already wrote about this cast – madness, that included some well-known names like Keira Knightley and Emily Blunt, so we must say that in this point, nothing is sure, and the only thing we know is that both Eve and Atwell have screen-testing for the second time for the role in London.
You all had a chance to read some interesting details about this big upcoming project, as well as the synopsis part, so we’re not going to repeat it this time.
Emily Blunt Won’t Play Peggy Carter In Captain America
Emily Blunt has turned down the female love interest part of Peggy Carter in an upcoming Hollywood project that we already talked about The First Avenger: Captain America.
The audition for this role included three British actresses: Keira Knightley, Alice Eve and Blunt, but now it’s official, Blunt passed on this role!
As you all know by now, the film has already suffered some casting issues, but the search for the female role continues.
Sebastian Stan As Bucky Barnes In Captain America
You remember our report about an upcoming project The First Avenger: Captain America, so you already know that Chris Evans is going to be the leading male role.
But now we have an update to report. Marvel Studios confirmed that Sebastian Stan has been cast as Captain America’s sidekick Bucky Barnes!
During the recent Captain America casting, Sebastian Stan was among those who were considered for the title role, but now he’ll have to conform with the role of Bucky, as the next best thing.
Let’s see what’s so special about this character. In the comics, Bucky Barnes was a teenage orphan that was too young to join the army. He eventually became a battlefield mascot and would discover the true identity of Captain America, which is how he became his sidekick.
Chris Evans Is Captain America
Chris Evans has been cast to play Marvel‘s super hero icon, Captain America, or if you prefer – Steve Rogers, and this will be the fourth comic book character Evans plays on the big screen.
And just for a record, Evans beat out a number of high-profile actors, such as John Krasinski, Channing Tatum and Ryan Phillippe…
Joe Johnston will direct from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
So, we all know Captain America is a fictional character from Marvel’s comic books, that first appeared in 1941, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.
