Marvel Studios President Comments On The Tone Of Captain America: The First Avenger

Learn what Kevin Feige has to say about Marvel's cinematic universe tie-ins and the tone Chris Evans' portrayal of Cap. Is this a subtle diss to Green Lantern?

On the presence of tie-ins to the larger Marvel cinematic universe:

"This is where it all starts," said Feige."There are a number of things that were retconned over the years, like Howard Stark's participation around that same program that they did in the [comic] books, decades later, so it was almost laid out for us. We've tied in Skull's MacGuffin and given it a cosmic, so to speak, origin, that you don't necessarily learn in this film, but again most of that is right out of the [comic] books."


On the tone of Chris Evans' Captain America:
"I wouldn't say [the script] is overly earnest…or overly jokey," Feige added. "There [are] some humorous moments in there, but this isn't Chris Evans being Mister One-Line. The script has humorous moments [and] has fun where appropriate."


Glad to hear it as Cap really isn't the type of character to make jokes. Only 15 more days guys!!!


"Captain America: The First Avenger" will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving).
