Not bad! Got a real 'Ultimates' feel to it. Tough to tell if his ears are covered up or visible, and I'm glad they opted not to put the 'wings' on his mask.

Nice! It looks like they are paying homage to the old Cap of WWII! I wonder if the movie ends with him going into deep freeze or if it overlaps into modern day Cap with his modern day tights!?

Re: First images of Captain America: The First Avenger!

I'm wondering if this is the 40's version of Cap or maybe the 21st Century Cap we might see at the end of the flick. This suit looks a little too modern for the WWII era Cap.

Could nitpick it to death. But, it could be alot worse.. and they are still only digital renderings. I hope the star on the chest is not raised as it appears and I hope they have the old shield for some part of the film.

Very Ultimate Cap feel too it, its better than what I was expecting, I like it.


Yea actually I'm curious on is this the modern Cap or WWII Cap, I was kinda hoping we'd see the triangular shield during WWII and then something about Stark finishing the one we saw in IM2.

Re: First images of Captain America: The First Avenger!

I read an interview with the director where he mentions that we'll see two versions of the Cap costume in the film, one VERY true to the comics and one a little more realistic (which would be this one, I'd guess). I won't expand on it so I don't spoil anything for those 'sensitive' types!

Thanks so much for posting those pics - I like it as well.

I'm not up on Marvel anymore, is this the Ultimates version of Cap?

Re: First images of Captain America: The First Avenger!

I'm guessing that'd be the modern version too. It just looks too 'high tech' to be the WWII version to me. The helmet/mask is perfect IMHO. I could nitpick a few other details... for example I don't like the sculpted star on his chest. But aside from some nitpicks like that, I like it... at first glance at least.

I'm surprised we're seeing this art of Captain America when all we've seen of Thor so far is that one head and shoulders shot. Maybe they wanted to get a sense of fan reaction in case the fans absolutely hated it...

Now if only they'd give us a nice, clear look at Thor!

Yeah, more or less that's the Ultimates version... it's different in a lot of details but it's the general idea.

Re: First images of Captain America: The First Avenger!

Not a fan. Gimme the old-school cap, wings and all. WWII Cap is fine with his helmet and such, but the modern version I think should be the classic version.

I'm really not a fan of much of any of the costumes of Ultimates characters.

Re: First images of Captain America: The First Avenger!

I am really digging it. I am not too familiar with old-school vs new-school Cap, but I like what I see.

Only nitpick would be the lack of ears/wings. I've wondered all along whether or not they would include this element. Now seeing that it's not there, I can't help but wish they were there.

Re: First images of Captain America: The First Avenger!

Love this suit. Looks very cool.

I can't help but wonder if UD Replicas be making a version of it after the movie is out.

Classic Cap:

Ultimates WWII Cap:

Ultimates Modern Cap:

Basically, this is the ultimates costume. I'm thinking that, for the most part, Marvel's "Ultimates" line is intended to be their "film-friendly" version of stories so that they can make a comics line that sticks with film continuity, and which has easier-to-translate-to-film costumes instead of the classic ones.
