Joe Johnston Hugo Weaving and Chris Evans sat down with EW.com for a video interview. Unfortunately, I am unable to embed the video for you to view. What I have done instead, is transcribe portions of the interview. I left out the questions and answers from Johnston and Evans that we have all heard over and over.


This from EW.com...

You guys are just beginning to shoot this movie. Correct?

Johnston:
Correct.

EW: How far along are you into it?

Johnston, Evans and Weaving:
(In Harmony) Two weeks.

EW: What has it been like to play Captain America?

Evans:
It's been fantastic. It's a little, you know it's intimidating. You know, coming to the set and seeing the magnitude of everything and remembering who you're working with, the caliber of the director and actors that you have around you, it's, it can be daunting at times. But I'm trying to just look at it as another job.

EW: You're playing sort of the embodiment of all that is great about the country.

Evans:
Sure.

Weaving:(talking to Evans and smiling)We don't want to pressure you or anything.

EW: And your playing Red Skull.

Weaving:
Johann Shmidt is an ex SS officer who has his own branch of the German Army under his command. He's a scientist who is interested in developing armaments and also developing and harnessing the power of a, of a, sort of unusual energy source which has spiritual connections.

Johnston: And whats the name of his branch?

Weaving:HYDRA.

Johnston:HYDRA.

Hawksblueyes: This sounds interesting. Was Weaving refering to The Cosmic Cube before mentioning HYDRA?

Maybe instead of the cosmic cube they work in the Infinity Gauntlet that we saw a few days ago as the power source.

WakeUp: With The Red Skull it will be the Cube. He has been obsessed with it forever.

Talontd: I don't think Marvel is worried about keeping the films a certain length. TIH and Iron man were both fairly long movies.

Very nice ... Yet another movie we are all waiting for ... :)

Tyler- Wakeup- Talentd - They could just be hinting at things in the movie so when they make the avengers it all comes together ... High hopes my friends ... High hopes

Awesome find HAWKS! :)

As TYLER said, I really hope that they dont put too much into this movie and screw it up - this is our only chance to see Cap in WWII and it's him who should be the focus. I'm even more concerned that they'll just send Cap off to fight the Red Skull and that'll be his first and final mission...once the army let him out of the whole USO thing, they need to skip ahead a few years to show us that he's a battle hardened soldier. Not a one hit wonder! :P

I was at the hall H panel in person during the whole Marvel thing and might I just say FREAKING AMAZING! I'm a DC Green lantern fan all the way but I have a feeling from what I saw of that they're butchering my favorite superhero. Anyways I will confirm that the cube is in the film, we saw a clip from the movie of Hugo (Red Skull) finding the cube. It was great!

Don't [frick] up THE INVADERS JOE!

Personally I reckon HYDRA is perfect for present day CAP in CAPTAIN AMERICA II???

Shocker @ What was your name b4 lol?

Ace0477 @ Very cool! :)

JOSH @ Thats what I think too, they gotta pack a good few years in the WWII stuff in this movie!

necrosage: What are your tutoring rates? That is what you're getting at isn't it? ;}

Chris Evans is a perfect fit for Cap. I'm really glad he was cast :)

I find it funny though - that when asked "What has it been like to play Captain America?", Evans' response is 'Fantastic.' :D

I'm so excited for this - I can't wait to see the footage.

Nicely done, tthey are actually taking pieces from what happened on the comics, and making a cool adaptation, looks very good so far!!

Why the [frick] is the human goddamn torch playing Captain America? This is the worst thing since Ben Affleck playing Daredevil. Re-[frick]ing-cast.

Joker08 - 7/26/2010, 3:36 PM
@necrosage: I have a favor to ask you. Start cracking down on everyone who says 'casted' instead of 'cast' when referring to the past-tense of 'cast". So many people here say it... And it drives me mad.

Actually I also saw Evans in full costume atleast the WW2 costume. And it looks pretty epic, they have done a great job so far with what they've got. Also Red Skull oes have a nice little band of minions :) In Nazi uniforms of course.

Cool. I can't wait to see the first images of the film. This is huge a huge endeavor for them. Not only do we have Cap and Red skull but also the Invaders and Howling Commandos plus the connection to THOR and the eventually set-up for Avengers

Wow their talking about HYDRA being in the film, the invaders are in the film, plus the cosmic cube! This film has the makings to be legendary.

Im surprised how far filmmakers are willing to go these days to making a great CBM film. I mean we have elements in this film that i thought i would not see for at least a decade, things like the cosmic cube or the invaders. Plus we got a pic of the infinity gauntlet that Thanos uses a little while ago...



I mean WOW! if this is indeed in the Avengers or even Thor i will be for 1) Happy as shit that its made it to the big screen and 2) Surprised that its made it to the big screen.

I say i am surprised in all honesty i never thought something like this or the cosmic cube would make it to hollywood because not alot of people outside of comic book fans really know what that is or really figure its that important.

In all honesty im doubtful that we'll get doomsday in a superman movie in the next 7 years or Darkseid in a film or another crack at a real Galactus (not a [frick]ing nimbus cloud) or even an Apocalypse in an xmen movie or something.

Those are thing that i just dont see happening, not because they might not translate well into film, but because its just something i thought i would never see...

But thats what i said about the cosmic cube not appearing in this film, or Hydra or even Namor (which apparently he is in the film according to Joe Johnston)

I like where this film's heading and im dying to see some footage :)

@Joey Misfit...he helped establish it during WWII but that was one of Marvels earliest Retcons....so its good to see them keeping true to the current continuity.

@BIGBMH: ;)

@ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN THE CAP FOOTAGE: Does the Red Skull look convincing? I was hoping for a CGI face due to an overwhelming fear of having to relive this again...

Ultimately, I had my fingers-crossed for something like this - which I couldn't imagine them doing without the aid of computer effects...

Joey Misfit@ From Marvel.com :

" The man most responsible for the creation of Hydra was Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, the Prussian aristocrat who served as wing commander of Nazi Germany’s infamous Death’s Head Squadron, and later as leader of its Blitzkrieg Squad of commandos. Infuriated by Strucker’s defeats by American commando Sgt. Nicholas Fury, and by Strucker’s refusal to execute the entire population of a French village, Adolf Hitler ordered the Gestapo to find and assassinate him. Strucker escaped Germany with the help of some of its men, and more importantly, with that of the Third Reich’s second most powerful leader, the Red Skull. The Skull eventually intended to challenge Hitler himself, and assigned Strucker to build a power base for him in the Far East. The embittered Strucker had no intention of serving anyone but himself, however, and severed ties with the Skull on becoming the Supreme Hydra. "

Come on Johnston do this character and film real justice. You do great with WWII films and pulp action. This character goes hand in hand. I can't wait to see this film, I want to see all the sweet images and trailers NOW!!! lol...Of all the characters I'm curious about Red Skull AND Namor...these are two important characters and they deserve the most attention to detail.

blinkuldhc: If you're refering to the fact that "your" has not been corrected in the article, it may benefit you to know that I am unable to edit an article once it has been moved to the main page.

It may also benefit you to know that I was aware of the difference between the two words before it was originaly pointed out to me by necrosage. I simply missed it proofreading the article.

It has been noted. I can't change it. Now get off my ass about it. ;}
