New CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Promo Art Confirms Cap's Chainmail Armor
An official bit of Captain America: Civil War merchandise has confirmed a rumor we heard a few months back: Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) will indeed be sporting an updated costume, featuring the chainmail-style design that's been a staple of his comic book counterpart for years...
Many will scoff at such a relatively subtle change, but for comic book fans this is something of a big deal. For years we all wondered whether Cap would eventually don his chainmail/scalemail/feathered costume, and a recent rumor suggested he would do just that in Captain America: Civil War - even thought the leaked st snaps told a different story.
Well, this promo art adorning an officially licensed t-shirt would seem to confirm that the First Avengers will indeed update his outfit at some point in the Marvel threequel, though it's probably not quite what fans were expecting.
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6, 2016.
