From Newsarama's live feed, here are the highlights from the Captain America section of Marvel Studios' panel which has finished just a few minutes ago, with the Thor panel currently in progress! As well as more from both the director and cast of the movie, both a teaser trailer and a scene featuring Hugo Weaving was shown to the audience!
Johnston says the film is about telling Captain America's origin story.
Evans says "It's a little intimidating, a little daunting..hopefully Joe will send me in the right direction and I won't ruin the movie."
Evans says he started shooting just five days ago. "The suit is fantastic, and it's just...a thrill," he said.
Hugo Weaving is asked about how he envisioned playing the Red Skull.
He says he spent a lot of time listening to Werner Herzog and another German artist and synthesized the voices to create the voice of the Skull.
Evans says he loves origin pieces. He thinks it gives them a big advantage when interlocking stories in the build up of "The Avengers."
Feige adds that the leaked image of Cap on the internet recently didn't do justice to the look of the film. He also said the film will be entirely in the 1940s.
More footage shown next, just shot last week. Lots of footage of Hugo Weaving pre-skull face and... a cosmic cube?
Clip showed an unmasked Red Skull looting a tomb in a castle which belongs to Odin. There's a nod to the Cosmic Cube, a staple of Cap comics.
The Skull then finds a hidden compartment, finds a box inside, and opens it. An old man warns the Skull that man was not meant to see what's inside. "Exactly," answers the Skull.
With that, the Cap crew walks off and Thor director Kenneth Branagh comes onstage.
