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.)
Following the controversial decision to drop the
Captain America part of
Captain America: The First Avenger in Russia, Ukraine and South Korea due to a fear of the title impacting its box office success in those territories, you may have thought they'd be avoiding any other major references to anything American while promoting the movie. Well, apparently not by the look of this Russian theatrical poster...
What do you guys make of Paramount and Marvel Studios' decision to market
Captain America: The First Avenger in this fashion? While we've know about the title change since January, why keep the American flag but not the name of the superhero? There's even been talk that Cap will be referred to as the "First Avenger" throughout the movie itself! Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, Stanley Tucci as Abraham Erskine and Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark,
Captain America: The First Avenger will be released in 3D on July 22, later this year!
