Captain America: The First Avenger Teaser Trailer
The teaser trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger debuted on Comic Con 2010.
The teaser opened with a camera panning across the scratched yet shiny surface of Cap’s shield. Playing against the shield was footage from WWII, while FDR spoke on the soundtrack, talking about Pearl Harbor and the challenge ahead. In many ways the shield itself would have been a great teaser, but then it cut to a shot of the silhouette of Captain America, standing in what looked like a warehouse. And then another flash, this time of Cap in an action pose, flinging the shield right at the screen.
Captain America: The First Avenger will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.
Stanley Tucci Joins Captain America
Captain America: The First Avenger update again! Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci has signed on to star as Dr. Abraham Erskine in the upcoming Marvel Studios project.
The Oscar-nominated actor will play Dr. Abraham Erskine, a German scientist who “in many of the early comics was behind Project Rebirth, the secret experiment that created the Super Soldier known as Captain America”.
So, we know that Captain America is scheduled to hit theaters on July 22, 2011, so let’s all remind the synopsis part once again:
“Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army.
However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment…Operation: Rebirth.

First Images of Captain America Costume
The first details of an approved costume test from Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger have emerged and Mike Sampson (JoBlo), who broke the original story, confirmed that these new images, “aren’t just fan mockups – these are the real deal.”
In fact, the Captain will have two different outfits, director Joe Johnston had said earlier. The first is more flashy as the character begins as a troops entertainer with the USO; the second (the one we are seeing here) is more battle-ready and practical and the one worn for most of the film.
Tommy Lee Jones in Captain America
“I have yet to meet Tommy Lee Jones…. Although I think I have a scene with him, which I’m really looking forward to doing” – that’s exactly what actress Hayley Atwell (or, Peggy Carter in Captain America) said, and that’s why we’re here to spread the rumor!
Tommy Lee Jones has signed on to star in Marvel Studio’s upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger?! Now that’s what we call good news!
So, according to that rumor, Tommy Lee Jones will play General Chester Phillips, the guy in charge of the super soldier program which turned the sickly Steve Rogers, played by Fantastic Four star Chris Evans into Captain America.
Captain America: The First Avenger an upcoming project directed by Joe Johnston, from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, already stars Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L Jackson and Dominic Cooper and we have no problem with Tommy Lee Jones as well! Do you?
Toby Jones as Arnim Zola in Captain America
British actor Toby Jones will play Arnim Zola, the evil scientist and right hand man to The Red Skull in Joe Johnston‘s upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger movie.
So, he’s joining the cast that already includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Hugo Weaving as the film’s villain Red Skull, and British actress Hayley Atwell as the Captain’s World War II girlfriend Peggy Carter.
Well, that’s some nice role for Jones. If you don’t have any idea about who Arnim Zola was, here’s a little description: “a biochemist during World War II who became one of the first human genetic engineers in history after finding papers and equipment used by the offshoot race of humanity, the Deviants. He found a ready home among the Nazi party, who saw his actions as the ability to ensure the existence of a master race.”
