Movie Trailers - Movies Blog At the start the interviewer asks a question I think many of us are also curious about. How do you keep a bit of the cheesiness out of a character like Cap in live action. Evans and Weaving respond by giving us an idea of the tone the movie will have, and what to expect on the current CBM gauge(somewhere between Iron Man and Batman perhaps?) "The nature of comic book movies in general — I mean, with Wolverine, you've got swords coming out of a guy's knuckles — it's all a bit fantastical," "It's about finding a good script, a good director and finding a way to ground it in reality, Even if it is a bit dream-like, as long as you stay consistent, if you can get the audience to commit in the beginning and go for the ride, I think they'll jump on board and not try to burn holes in our consistency." Hugo Weaving added "If you can enjoy that aspect of it as well, if the script has a sense of humor to it, then those sides are actually enjoyable for the viewer and the people involved," "They did mix in some good comedy," added Evans. "It's not comedy on the nose — we're not cracking jokes — but they did find a way to add humor." "As far as the look of it's concerned, I definitely did ask [director Joe Johnston], 'What kind of gloss are we going for? Is this going to have that Spider-Man, Fantastic Four shine?' And he said it's not going to be that glossy or that colorful, but it's not going to be something as dark as something like 'Batman, I think it'll be a nice happy medium. I think the world of 'Iron Man' was done really well. It stayed grounded in reality but still stayed true to the fact that it's a comic book movie, so it does have to have some life to it."
