Ryan Meinerding Talks THE AVENGERS, Designing Captain America's Uniform And More!

Sounds like he has to talk himself into liking how the Cap suit turned out. Even though I'm not really loving how it turned out I can forgive them a little bit because it has to be one on the hardest marvel costumes to put on film and you can't just drop the uniform. Unlike the complete redesign of the X-men suits Cap is to tied to his look. That Being said I would love to see a version of the Commander Rogers uniform in a future movie, that is by far my favorite.

They took Thors Helmet, gave Cap a helmet and keep one on Loki.

The approach does make sense though, they couldn't have some mask with exposed ears and wings. Maybe the costume will change as we see more Cap.......hopefully.

@TheBigBoss917- Cap's suit is way closer to the comics than Bane's but why am I feeding you troll.... You should be slayed!!! >:O

Awesome sounds great.

@ thebigboss917

not a fan of the helmet/mask piece of the costume,it looks better without it.

but saying that it looks soo much better than bane's.

Cap's costume will look good on film. Take my word for it. On another note, I'd love to see what he can do with other characters, such as Dr. Strange, Namor, Black Panther, and even some of the cosmic characters.

Is no one going to mention the freaking HULKBUSTER ARMOR behind him!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I bet Cap's suit will look great in the final cut of the movie

Even the artist knows the helmet sucks. He just can't bring himself to say it for obvious reasons.

have to say the helmet does suck, expect the costume

but i think the helmet probably would look better in film

I don't think Cap's costume will be distracting in the film. But regardless, the costume design team failed miserably.

And it has nothing to do with Cap's ears, people. It's simple color distribution. Specifically, there's 3 areas where they blew it.

1) Cap's arms. Your eyes automatically go to the white of his upper arms instead of cool tones of the blue. So you automatically look at the inside of his arm, which makes the arm seem smaller and less intimidating. This is a shame on so many levels, not the very least because Evans busted his butt to get a great physique for the character and they diminish it with a mistake so simple and unnecessary.

2) Cap's neck. Cap's ears aren't exposed in TFA and yet his helmet looks awesome. Why? Simple: His neck is exposed. Much like I pointed out above, the contrasting flesh tones balance out the head being slightly larger. What helps this even more is the chin strap that's brown, because this is even more of a ''cool'' color tone than blue. Thus, the flesh tones stand out even more compared to the two cooler tones around it and make his lower mouth and neck seem bigger. In Avengers, the bulbous helmet is just enhanced by the distribution of slightly darker blue around it.

3) Cap's belt. It's size greatly diminishes everything around it since it's so massive and the contrasting red and white are too small to combat it. Thus Cap's abdomen/torso are reduced to almost emaciated proportions. The blue doesn't help either, because it blends his legs into his body and gives the appearance of a individual who's wearing his belt far too high.

Whatever, just my two cents. Design is all in the purpose. If they wanted to make Cap look small, they succeeded brilliantly. The fact that Evans still looks like a born leader is a testament to his physical acting ability.

He's great at what he does.

@MrAnonymous due Cap will have ears exposed in The Avengers! look at the trailer! the mask hanging in that box ! is the one he has attached on to his back when talking to tony stark in the trailer is this one...

Just to be clear, I am honestly fantastically happy if you disagree with me and love the suit. Seriously. I wish everyone loved the suit.

I think the ears exposed looks just fine, but I think he looks better without anything on his head.

@ELgUaSoN
