New Captain America: The First Avenger Poster: Shield of Dreams

While the new Captain America: The First Avenger trailer premieres tonight at 7:30 p.m. EDT (how blogger-inconvenient), the new poster hits you right now, square in the face, with a jawline from the gods and a shield from an early season of American Gladiators (when Human Cannonball was still a thing). BREAKING: Chris Evans looks like John Edwards from the side.

That's just the amount of patriotism, stoicism, umber glow, and mensch-iness I expected. Buzz around the film is good so far, and if Chris Evans' lupine profile is any indication, we're in for a more ferocious and righteous caper than Thor and Green Lantern and The Help combined.

Check back later to watch the trailer here at Movieline. Head over to Yahoo! to see the full-size poster.
