Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread
Empire Online spoke to Evans recently, and the actor said that the threads are "amazing."
"Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it's tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top -- and given the fact that the movie takes place in the '40s and '50s -- they've done a really good job of making it look really cool," said Evans. "I think everyone that's going to see it is going to say, 'O.K., well done. Well done. I think they got the costume right. The casting they completely ruined, but the costume they nailed!'"
Interesting, isn't it, that Evans mentions the 1950s as part of the time period when the movie takes place? Cap fought in World War II and went into deep freeze right before the end of the Big One, which last time we checked was prior to 1950. Hmmmm.
"[In the Fantastic Four] … you could move around quite well," continues Evans, who of course played the Human Torch in that series. "This is a little more cumbersome. It doesn't exactly breathe the way the Fantastic Four costume breathed, but it's the way it should be. Any type of World War II uniform would be a little chunky, and I think that's what kind of gives it its character."
The topic of Cap's mighty shield also came up during the interview.
"We've been testing a lot of shields," he says. "Last time I was in London they had six shields and I had to hold each one, see if I was comfortable with each one, see which one we all thought had the right look. The thing is pretty heavy, so I'm not sure I can throw it that far! I'll give it my best shot, but hopefully they'll have some sort of stunt shield when it comes to actually chucking it!"
