Comic-Con 2010: Captain America Panel Report

     Reports have flooded in about what was seen at the Captain America portion of the Marvel Studios panel and it sounds bad ass!!  Captain America: The First Avenger has only been in production for a week but they showed a short teaser and an entire scene!  The scene is as follows: Set in Norway in 1942. The Red Skull, before he becomes the Red Skull, smashes through the front of an ancient temple and sends his Nazi goons to a crypt looking for something he calls The Tesseract. They open up a sarcophagus and find a large, misty cube atop the corpse of a Crusader. But the Skull can't be fooled, and he knows this is a fake, smashing it to the ground. (Chud.com)
     The teaser featured WW2 footage with Roosevelt’s Day of Infamy speech playing over it.  Text lines said "Our courage and strength led us into battle, stories emerged of heroes … but one story has never been told"  The shield is then revealed with the line "Every army starts with one man"
Captain America’s silhouette, shield on the arm, standing in near profile. To black. “Next summer meet the world’s first avenger.”  Chris Evans then turns around in full costume and fires the shield directly at the camera after the title was shown! 
     A question was asked to Johnston about the tone of the film. He said he loves Raiders of the Lost Ark. “At no time when watching that film do you feel it was made in 1936. It feels as modern today as it did back (when it was released.” He said you only get one chance to tell the origin story and promised it won’t feel like a movie made in 1942. I guess this was his way of telling people that it won’t feel old and stupid because it’s set during WW2. So there you have it!! Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters next summer!!
