The First Avenger: Captain America

The Captain America Movie Costume In Words Only

by Susana Polo | 11:29 am, May 29th

There is a distinct progression in fan attention when a new superhero movie comes out. First it’s the writer and director, then the casting of the main lead, the casting of the villain, and, eventually, somewhere down the line, we get a look at the costume.

Normally, we wouldn’t get too excited until some pictorial evidence was offered for the internet to excrete masonry over, but JoBlo‘s incredibly detailed description of “one of the approved costume tests” for the new Captain America movie has got us interested.

Men in Black 3: In 3D, In 2012

It’s official. Columbia Pictures has secured actor Will Smith, director Barry Sonnenfeld, and is in “advanced negotiations” with Tommy Lee Jones: Men in Black 3 is scheduled for a summer 2012 release.

Ryan Phillippe added to the mix; Phillipe and Channing Tatum trying out.
Now, the possibility that (gasp!) a Romanian, Sebastian Stan, will get the role.

Each iteration of this has witnessed a flurry of articles, listicles, further speculations, and, of course, fan polls — not only at superhero movie-devoted outlets like MTV’s Splash Page and fansites like ComicBookMovie, but among the heavy hitters. Here’s the thing: Does anyone really care who plays Captain America is that much?
