hmm, i like the concept of how to use the suit, im eager to see what they come up with. Johnston Talks Captain America Costume
|
And how many actors are they looking at?
 On Saturday, we got a chance to talk to The First Avenger: Captain America director Joe Johnston about the anticipated film (you can read that here) and the Los Angeles Times got some more costume, story and casting details from the helmer (Spoilers ahead!).
"The costume is a flag, but the way we're getting around that is we have Steve Rogers forced into the USO circuit," Johnston said. "After he's made into this super-soldier, they decide they can't send him into combat and risk him getting killed. He's the only one and they can't make more. So they say, 'You're going to be in this USO show' and they give him a flag suit. He can't wait to get out of it." He added that "When he does go AWOL, he covers up the suit but then, after a few things happen, he realizes that this uniform allows him to lead. By then, he's become a star in the public mind and a symbol. The guys get behind him because he embodies something special." Which leads to a new costume: "In the first USO sequences, the frustrated patriot will be wearing a version that is closer to the classic Jack Kirby-designed costume, but then later as the super-soldier hits the war zone he will be wearing a sturdier, more muted version that he makes himself that is more like battle togs. The stripes across his mid-section, for instance, will be straps, not colored fabric." You can read more of what he said about the costumes and how many actors they are looking at by going here.

It's good to actually hear Johnston say that they're not going with a kid in his late teens and that the very youngest they're considering is 23. I was afraid that they were going to go too young, but if 23 is the very youngest they might go, with the range going up to 32, this might actuallly work. Report Abuse

I think the Ultimates version is the most realistic, and still keeps the symbol and iconic look of captain america. Report Abuse

Ughhh. I like Joe....and love how open he appears to be with the direction. However, but this doesn't sound like the greatest news. I'm really disappointed when movie makers take charge of a superhero and then feel reluctant to go full-blown with established costumes. Plus, the logic of putting a "super soldier" in the USO because he's "too super" to risk getting hurt seems contradictory? Wasn't the whole idea to create a soldier to be super in battle?

the point of having a Comic book movie is to have a super hero come to life! not change the guy to make him more realistic! there is nothing realistic about a super hero why change it?! Report Abuse
