First Avenger: Captain America
 
Aaand we now have a plot synopsis for the 2011 film:

http://www.mania.com/captain-america...le_110320.html

Quote:
Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment… Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the 'Super-Soldier Serum' and bombarded by 'vita-rays.' Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and leader of the Avengers.
Born during the great depression?? WTF? He'd had to have faught in WWII when he was like 14/15! :lol: The rest is accurate up to the point where it says he was the leader of the Avengers, he wasn't! In the comics he was the leader of the Invaders and was born in 1917! The Avengers didn't even come into play till sometime AFTER he was defrosted. :roll:

Hence the present perfect tense in the final sentence...

Sounds alright, but I hope they can cast the right actor.

Marvel can tweek the origins if they want, it's hardly "blasphemy" when barely anyone really gives a s*it about Captain America.

Mecha Cow 10-07-2008 03:35 AM
That's true, I don't really mind myself but I imagine a lot of Europeans would be turned off by a movie about a guy running around dressed in the stars and stripes.

Weren't the Avengers formed BEFORE he was defrosted? I thought the Avengers (Hulk, Iron Man, Ant Man, Thor) found him.

So, this will be a live action movie theatrical, right? Not one of the DTV animated features...

Mecha Cow 10-07-2008 10:35 AM
Yes to both posts.

Yep, they formed in Avengers #1, and thawed out Cap in #4.

The report is probably inaccurate about him being born during the depression. He'll probably be growing up during that time, at least 5 years old in 1929, making him 17 when the US entered the war in 1941. As for the rest, since they're going with the storyline set forth in Iron Man and Hulk, the Avengers won't be started until present day by Nick Fury and SHIELD -- unless they're referring to the Invaders and just decided to call them Avengers to reduce confusion.

But it really isn't that big of a deal, as long as they don't f**k it up like that other film...

I've never been a real fan of the Cap, but if this one just focuses on his origins in World War II, and wants to leave some kinda cliffhanger ending for them to defrost him in the Avengers Movie....I think that has a ton of potential. A nice gritty WWII movie with a "Super hero" sounds awesome. I'd love to be presented with a Captain America who I love for his heroics, but almost despise for a biased american view on life...just brainstorming, but I think it has a lot of potential.

2011?! Awww, well, at least Thor's coming out too!
I wonder if The Avengers movie will have War Machine...

odupianist 10-08-2008 08:07 AM
I think Iron Man 2 will have War Machine. Has Steve Rogers been cast yet? I know there were rumors of Matthew McConaughey?

Neither Steve Rogers or Thor have been cast yet. Matthew McCaunaughey was just a rumour for a while that's been wholey debunked.

Not me. Captain America never yelled, "Yee-hah."

Brodie 10-10-2008 04:53 PM
Somone had said they read a rumor that Will Smith was going to be Cap, and I couldn't help but laugh in their dumb faces.

Sorry, don't get me wrong, I'm fine with changing the races of characters. What I'm not cool with is letting Will Smith carry an entire franchise on his shoulders as a title character. He's a great comedy actor, I mean who else saw I Am Legend? But he can't carry a flick on his own like this.

I could almost see Will Smith as Isaiah Bradley. They have to at least mention the 2nd attempt at the Super Soldier Serum in the film and that attempt used blacks as test subjects...one of them being Isaiah Bradley aka Black Captain America. Then there was Isaiah's son (Josiah X) and Grandson (Patriot).

If it turns out like Iron Man I'll be interested. However if it turns out like The Hulk I can pass.

Brodie 10-13-2008 12:34 PM
Yeah, because Hulk was oh-so terrible.

Maybe you missed the more prominent shitflicks, Ghost Rider, Ang Lee's Hulk, X-Men 3, Superman Returns, -Elektra-, any piece of **** Spider-Man movie, etc.

Hulk was amazing compared to any of those.

Anyone who tries to argue that the new Hulk was worse than the Spider-Man movies clearly doesn't know anything about Spider-Man. Those were really good Bad-Actor-in-Tights movies, but terrible Spider-Man movies.
