Catch the first proper shot of Chris Evans as Captain America right here, and we’ve got the story synopsis too…
The Internet hasn't been shy of pictures of the Captain America production on its travels around the UK, but we can now take a first official look at Chris Evans in the title role of next summer's blockbuster.
The image has arrived courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, who has run the image as its latest front cover in the US. Do we smell a bit of Photoshop work there?
Inside the issue itself, Evans says of the role, "At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, ‘If the movie bombs, I'm f--ed. If the movie hits, I'm f--ed!'... I was just scared. I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear... I can't believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America."
EW also has the following synopsis for the film:
"The year is 1942, and Steve Rogers is a scrawny lad who desperately wants to fight Nazis for his country but can't because he's been deemed physically unfit. His fate - and his physique - is radically transformed when he signs up for Project: Rebirth, a secret military operation that turns wimps into studs using drugs and assorted sci-fi hoo-ha. There's a love interest (Major Peggy Carter, played Haley Atwell), there's a sidekick (Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stans), and there's the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Hitler's treacherous head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a magical object known as The Tesseract (comic fans know it better as The Cosmic Cube)."
