Chris Evans Talks Steve Rogers Physical Transformation!

;}

Nice Hawks! Im feeling good about this movie, but can we just see some good images/footage already!

"shrinking me down" NOOOOOOOOO! Captain America isn't supposed to be shrunk down! They should beef him up.

@Whiteharted The shrinking down is referring to pre Super Soldier Rogers. When he was a frail little guy.
Have no fear, they definitely wont be making Cap any smaller!

Awesome foam body suits!!!! They should have done that with Thor instead of bulking him up, i mean who wants the real thing when you could have a foam body suits??? If any of you were watching his conversation with G4 then you would have heard him talking about that. And the extended convo with MTV he talks about the body suits as well.

I for one do not want to see him as little steve at the end. He needs to be powerfully acrobatic and demanding on the field of battle. Not "little Steve"...

@ elephantknowsbest: He says the used foam linings to make the costume seem more realistic. Evans isn't big now because he is doing another film by the time they start filming the Cap scenes I say he will have about 15 to 20 pounds of muscle of him.

It is easy for a guy like him to put on muscular weight. He weighs about 175 Id say he would be in the 190-200 range which will look good on screen for Cap. Then he can bulk up some more for The Avengers.

@ Epic: Are you into Ultimate Cap cause if so then thats what you would get. He means more heart then Brawn when he says little Steve. Which is the real Cap IMHO.

great...just what I predicted we're going to get a 21st century pcd puny capt america.

Shrink him down....beef him up? they are supposed to start filming soon...and thats what he loooks like?

@ ThaMessenger07 I hope your right. But I think they have already started filming and they stopped to make an appearance at Comic Con. Not 100% but i think they have...

If this movie is ruined, I don't think it will be by Evans. Sounds like the guy is working is @$$ off trying to get this right. I get what he's saying about the core of the character being the same at the beginning and the end.

It will be ruined by trying to stick to much into one film. Johnston will be to blame.

@ elepant: They have started filming you are correct but Evans has only done screen test he has not filmed a scene yet. They have done Hugo's stuff alone and some of the other shoots. Thats why Hugo is fit and has the Haircut going on you leave the sides trimed so it's easy to put a cap over your head when they do the prosthesis. As for Evans I say he has about a month a month and a half till they start shooting his Cap scenes. I still think they may lighten his hair and he has time. If I was training him I could get him an appropriate amount of muscle for the film in that time. But agreed lets hope I'm right! lol

@ Poolsonx: Agreed to a point I don't think he needs to get as big as people suggest but I do think he needs to get bigger. Not much though. If he could get to 195-205 he'd be perfect as for big guys being mobile you just need to train to move that kind of body speaking of a big wrestler who can move.

6'2 240 Around Caps Comic size

He needs to fight and run like Blonsky did when he fought the Hulk after his injections. Very acrobatic and beeating the sh!t out of people with his shield! Badass wrestling and American kick boxing. I can see the fight right now, and at the end the fight skirmish with like 20 nazi one last one shows up from around the corner, and the Cap just turns real quick, throws his sheild at him and knocks him out. Ohh yeah and walks away with out breathing heavy or breaking a sweat.

Can you guys hear the "THUNK!" sound when Captain America is smashing his sheild against the skulls of the NAZIS!

Juggernaut: Very good points. There are different builds for different purposes.

After reading the comments, I think many of you are missing what he is saying in the video. He is not going to slim down and bulk up. He is going to be the size he is for post serum scenes and they are going to CGI his skinny, puny body for pre serum scenes.

Take a good look at this photo of him standing on stage with the rest of The Avengers cast. He is wider and thicker than Hemsworth. He is in great shape for this movie just like he is now.

I'm with Juggernaut, just because he's massive in comics doesn't really mean it works in reality. He would probably have more of a gymnast physique to be able to move as he does and have that strong appearance.

cross ur fingerer's on this, and hope they give us a good cap movie!

Next to Spidey Cap is my favorite. A lot of people are concerned with Johnston as director. Sure the Wolfman wasn't some epic, money making blockbuster, but it was pretty damn cool though. Johnston has done many many different movies, which can be a plus. October Sky was a very well done character driven film, and also a period piece. He was also the production designer of Raiders of the Lost Ark and I think I know how everyone feels about that one. My biggest point about Johnston being a good fit for Captain America is this: HE DIRECTED THE ROCKETEER! Now that movie is almost 20 years old but as far as theme, direction, and the overall look of the film goes it's a perfect fit! Does anyone remember the scene with the nazi propoganda cartoon and all of the ss trooper flying around on jet-packs? Now I'm not saying that that movie is perfect but it puts Cap into a well fitting context. Almost everything I've read about the screened footage had a quote that went something like this: "...it had a Raiders of the Lost Ark type of vibe." GREAT! Mix the adventure of that, add in the WWII setting, and the AWESOME cast that they have lined up and I think it's safe to say that Joe Johnston will win a lot of people over. I think that as a director he works better with "out there" type flicks. We are just under a year away but I have faith in Joe and the Marvel Films team. If Marvel has done anything with their properties it's making sure that the directors they use have an understanding and love of the source material, something FOX could care less about, that itself keeps me excited.

I agree he is good as he is but the body you guys bring up is possible just not the overall prowess. I posted that wrestler above to show a physic that comes as close to what Cap would truly look like. Shelton Benjamin Stand at 6'2 and 240. He is leaping over other 6 foot men tossing his body and springing great distances. He is performing incredible acrobatic feats of strength and agility while showing plenty of speed. You get like that by cross training the body. I don't expect Chris Evans to be 6'0 215 or even 210. I do expect to see him at around 190. His build is good and generally athletic but it is not built for any specific function. Just create a little size and function and then he would look like an athlete. A running backs body would be good which would fall around 6'0 and between 190/205.
