Saturday was Marvel’s big day at Comic-Con 2010. They showed off some teasers regarding their future movies: Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, and The Avengers. Let’s take a look at some of the “live blogging” highlights from Cap’s big panel.
6:48 First up is Cap! Chris Evans, Joe Johnston and Hugo Weaving on stage!
6:49 Teaser trailer show archive footage from World War II on the Cap shield. Silhouette of Captain America. Slow turn and he’s in the suit, but it looks quite vintage. In a tiny stinger bit he throws the shield at the screen– nice little surprise.
6:51 Evans started on set only five days ago and he says that it’s fantastic, the suit’s fantastic.
6:51 Weaving talking about learning the voice. It’s part Werner Herzog and part Klaus Maria Brandauer. Won’t do the voice just yet, though
6:53 Evans hopes that nobody will see Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four in his role and that it can stand on his own.
6:54 Going a bit more modern than the original suit (more than just pajamas with stars and stripes on them).
6:55 Chris has only been in a test suit so far. What we saw in the footage was a snippet from the costume test.
6:56 Asking Chris about interlocking movies. Evans loves origin stories and who they were before they got their amazing gifts. Story doesn’t end after he gets his powers and can go through many evolutions.
6:56 Needed a guy to play both Steve Rogers and Cap. They saw that quality in Evans.
6:57 About to see what they shot last week. Scene in which Hugo Weaving finds the cosmic cube.
UPDATE: A title card shows that reads “Norway, May 1942.” Two priests are in a church scrambling around as the building around them begins to crumble. Suddenly, a bulldozer crashes through the wall, the debris crushing one of the priests. Enter the Nazis. From behind appears Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt, but he is not yet the Red Skull. He begins talking about finding an object of myth. The priest tells him that it is nothing more than that, but Schmidt doesn’t believe him. He opens a sarcophagus and takes out a blue cube. It looks like the Cosmic Cube, an object from the Thor universe that bestows the power to change reality to the person that is holding it. Schmidt immediately recognizes it as a fake, dropping it to the ground and it smashes like ice. He then continues to look around and sees a space in wall that looks like it could be pulled out. He does so and pulls out a box. Opening it up, there is a blue glow that fills the room. The Priest tells him that no man is meant to hold the power that the cube can provide. Schmidt tells him that he is wrong.
Regarding Caps, it seems that nothing wow was released or showed. The teaser itself seems, well, just a tease. Regardless, I can’t wait to check it out. Hopefully it will be available to all fans soon. The scene description of Hugo Weaving as Red Skull sounds pretty cool. The whole cosmic cube sounds interesting, specially if it’s something that’s from the Thor universe. I like that. Looking forward to this movie…
What do you guys think? Wanted more released from Caps at Comic-Con? You ok with this for now?
