TRAILER: Captain America: The First Avenger Escorts Hitler to the Gates of Hell
The summer of 2011 is poised to be an important one for the Marvel brand -- and from the way Thor looks (which is to say, kinda bad), that means the pressure is on Captain America: The First Avenger to succeed. Well, good news! Based on the new trailer for the Joe Johnston film, that might be easier than initially anticipated.
In what amounts to an extended riff on the Super Bowl spot, the full-length trailer for Captain America promises an action-heavy, Nazi-hating romp -- the type of blockbuster that summertime was made for. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to join up to fight those terrible Nazis, but there is one problem: He looks like Pete Campbell! He's tiny! Not to worry though: a heavily-accented Stanley Tucci is on hand, with Tony Stark's father (Dominic Cooper) and some science-y mumbo jumbo, to turn him into a super soldier.
The trailer highlights that transformation scene, and it's a good one; the Benjamin Button-like effects done to make Evans look itty-bitty are impressive. As are Tommy Lee Jones' jowls. And all that shield tossing. Plus, Red Skull! This trailer almost makes up for the Thor marketing campaign. Almost.
VERDICT: Now, Mr. Stark.

What is with all this pick on Hitler stuff. Enough already. What did he ever do to any of you?
Yes. I will watch the shit out of this...
HITLER WAS WON BY USSR. DONT FUCKING FORGET IT!
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DIED FOR YOUR LIFE!
NOT THIS STUPID FEEBLE TEENAGER.
RESPECT TO THOSE WHO FELL IN WAR. MEMORY.
I know it's a different universe, but can the Rocketeer make a cameo? Please, Mr. Johnston?
What is this obsession that the media has with Hitler? He was evil, but STALIN murdered 5 times more people. Where is the constant barrage of shows about how evil Stalin and the Communists were? Where are ANY shows about how evil Stalin and the Communists were???
Oh, and Warrior, Stalin may have sacrificed more troops, but without the USA the Nazis would have kicked his rear.
This looks amazing and like it will be a fun time.
STALIN AND COMMUNISM ROCKS! NONE OF YOU WOULD SURVIVE A MOMENT ON THE FROZEN VOLGA!
At 1:45 it's Hugh Jackman ain't it? Does he play Wolverine? Cause it's Marvel universe and Wolverine is whatever years old. Or is it somebody else that just looks like him or it is him and he plays a diffrent role
