CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER Prizepack Giveaway!

The publishing world was rocked in 1938 by the arrival of the superhero. The next year a fledging comics house nameed Timely made a big splash with The Human Torch and The Sub-Mariner. A couple years later editor Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby gave Timely an instant hit with Captain America Comics # 1, The main focus of that first issue cover was Captain America punching Adolph Hitler in the jaw. This was suprising because the magazine hit the news stand several months prior to The United States entry into war against the Axis forces.

As war clouds began to hover over the world a small comic company decided to create a hero to respond to the headlines. Colorful super heroes had made a splash just three years ago. This new hero would be clad in the colors of the flag and would fight evil on battlefields across the globe. – CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER.

New CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER Clips, Featurette, And Photos

Alright you Marvel movie maniacs! I hope these new pics and videos will help you endure the next few days till we can hit the multiplexes and enjoy the big screen treatment our favorite shield-slingin’ hero has deserved since he was introduced seventy years ago! First up it looks like the bad guys have the upper hand on Cap. Enjoy it while you can, Hydra!

Nice shot of the uniform. No doubt Cap’s infiltrated Hydra’s HQ.

Cap behind the wheel of his motorcycle. First time I’ve seen the small star on his upper arm. Very similar to the Ultimate Universe suit.

Looks like we’re on one of the snow covered mountains seen in the trailers.

Lovely shot of Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter.

And an even lovelier shot of Ms Atwell. First time I’ve seen here in her out of her brown military uniform. As they said back in the forties, ” Hubba! Hubba!”. Note the poster behind her showing Cap in the suit based on Timely’s Captain America Comics #1.

I wonder if this is the first time that Cap meets James ‘Bucky’ Barnes, played by Sebastian Shaw.

This looks to be shortly after Cap’s first public appearance, judging by the bright red boots and blue theatrical tights. Is he keeping a journal?

Lovely shot of Cap on a night mission. Is that a Hydra convoy?

Steve Rodgers ( Chris Evans ) looks just as sharp in military browns as he does in red,white, and blue.

Howard Stark ( Dominic Cooper )presents Steve with the circular unpainted shield fashioned from a new indestructible metal. Notice the first triangle-style shield in the foreground.

Here’s Steve enduring another of the many injections that are part of the Super Soldier project.

Perhaps Steve is watching newsreel war footage that inspires him to enlist.

I’m guessing that Steve’s run into an old acquaintance at a recruiting center.

And finally here’s Steve in training mode prior to the work at the lab.

Check out these new clips and featurette from the film:

“Grenade”

“Rebirth”

“Shield Intro”

“Shield Fight”

“Meet Captain America Featurette”

See you at the movies this Friday. To paraphrase the rallying  cry from The Invaders comic book series, ” Look out Axis, here he comes!”. Keep em’ flying!
