Not the actual suit and all I guess but it looks like it was done on a computer.
Instant reaction? I don’t like it that much. The staps/suspenders look weird, and the tone of blue they use doesn’t match the classic blue from the American flag that is usually used.
Hopefully the movie will be on par with Iron Man, that would be nice.
Yea, I’m with WestCoast…something doesn’t look right about it.
Well…I’m not completely feeling it…but I’m sure that design is not the final representation. This takes place during WWII so I guess there has to be a more “realistic” approach according to the time period and war environment(especially with the suspenders,leather gloves/boots). I bet once he hits current times…his outfit will be different.

Lets hope so! Suspenders? Really!
Why is he wearing pants made out of a soccer ball?
I don’t know if anyone has posted it, but there were also some supposedly leaked images of Thor as well. http://www.collider.com/2010/06/02/thor-chris-hemsworth-new-images-concept-art/
anyone else think this looks like the new wolverine costume mixed with Laura Croft and painted red white and blue?
.greg.
His quads need to be at least as twice as big as his calves and he needs some traps, too.
There’s an interesting rumor during the rounds at the moment that WW2 Cap will have a both a field outfit and a flashier costume for personal appearances.
If that’s true, then the idea of Cap and Red Skull being used as weapons of propaganda as well as physical ‘super weapons’, is going to be a key point in the movie. Lots of potential there.
Cap will probably also end up with a third costume after he is thawed.
My impression on this sort of thing is that in film, at least currently, they believe they need a more complex texture for costumes, and a more subdued color, than what works on the comic book page or in the TV screen. I can readily see this costume being completely in line with that aesthetic, and the traditional look not being in line with that.
On the “suspenders”: To me it will depend on whether they are functional, beyond just holding up the pants. Maybe they have some sort of use in a harness function, or for holding weapons. (I can’t recall if the WWII Cap used guns or not – I think he did, but I’m not sure.)
Yeah, it does.
It looks like something he could have made, or could readily have been made for him, whereas the image of the previous link certainly doesn’t look realistically possible for the day.

Cap usually avoids guns but (just like Batman) he may have begun with one at his creation.
That costume Big Boss posted isn’t far off from the WWII outfit he wore in the animated movie The Avengers. They changed his outfit after thawing him out.
Also, to complain about the texture must mean some guys want SPANDEX??? I think we found out in Spiderman and Batman Begins that textured patterns make a hell of a lot of difference in the reality of it on film…especially when bright reds and blues are used.
Our technology today even uses those compression outfits in the military…so why not simply fall in line with current technology?
Cap is a soldier and I personally never saw why he would carry LESS on him than the average soldier would only more streamlined since his powers give him some edge with bullet wounds and his shield protects him elsewhere.

I like that too. Here is the outfit from WWII from the movie.

Everything but that damn shield works, that pic that BB posted would be perfect for the movie.

The Shield is what ties together the world of Marvel. His original shield was just a little bullet proof. His shield made after he thaws is what Stark is working on…but he couldn’t finish it…until he discovered the new mineral element his father hid in those diagrams in the second Iron Man movie. That shield combines VIBRANIUM (the rock found in the Wolverine Origins Movie) with the substance Stark’s father discovered.
Vibranium is found in one large rock that fell to Earth but landed in an area of Africa very hard to get to…because that is where the Black Panther’s kingdom is and they do not allow trespassers…which is why their technology far surpasses anything most of the world currently knows.
That is the rock found in Wolverine…in the tribal village that Storm lived in.
The final shield is round…but the first isn’t and was shared by one other Captain America…the second one…who was black (Isaiah Bradley).

I forgot all about the origins of the round shield. When did you get your doctorate in Marvelology?

Is this the ultimate backstory?

I don’t see the problem with the shield either. I’ve heard the argument that dressing Cap in bright colors and a distinctive costume would make him a sitting duck on the front line, which is an acceptable point if he was a regular soldier.
The idea of Cap, a super-soldier, being visible to the enemy is in itself a form of psychological warfare.
Some would say it wouldn’t happen in real life, but it did: the Red Baron flew a distinctively-painted plane (so the enemy knew exactly who they were about to engage with), and Roman standard-bearers would carry military emblems into battle with no thought of whether it would compromise their personal safety.
It was all about destroying the morale of the opponent. The Red Skull works for the same reasons…
I don’t see the need to alter Cap’s costume that much for the sake of realism, when there is a profound reason for dressing him in the American flag in the first place…
