Here's our
first look at the costume, bike and shield from
Captain America: The First Avenger that is filming around parts of London right now. Specifically, the image shows a stunt double who's a little chubbier than
Chris Evans being chased down by awesome looking agents of Hydra. What do we make of the costume? I actually don't mind it, I like the period World War II feel of it - I like the idea that it looks like it's been worn-in and it's not too flashy or colorful. And it's hard to judge what we make of the costume based on how a stuntman fills it, quite frankly. Once Chris Evans is in it - a movie star - I'm sure our reaction will be a little warmer. See more images after the jump, including director Joe Johnston being influenced by his own movie The Rocketeer...
As Evans himself said at
Comic Con;
Its not this sleek spandex suit. It looks like something you might wear in the 40s in the middle of a war. Though we can expect a super-suit for the Marvel universe come the final act, or so I'm told.
