During the in-depth interview with
USA Weekend, the star of Marvel & Joe Johnston's much-anticipated
Captain America: The First Avenger, actor Chris Evans touched on a the melody featured during the "USO" sequences of the film. Foremost, confirming he won't actually be carrying the tune, Evans states:
"There is a Captain America song, but I don’t sing it. Initially in the film, when he becomes Captain America, long story short the serum is destroyed and they can’t reproduce the experiment so I’m the only super soldier there is. The U.S. government won’t allow me to go to war because it’s too risky and they can’t afford to lose me, but they use me as a propaganda tool and they send me on a USO Tour. So there’s a whole Captain America song, and they try to make him a little bit of a celebrity to try and sell bonds. There is a Captain America song, and there was a week of shooting, and I had that song in my head. I couldn’t stop humming it! It was so annoying. But it’s a funny sequence actually."
While we've yet to see the USO suit fully, look for
