The throwback sensibilities in those films are on full display in the new trailer (debuting at Yahoo!), which adds new action shots, more Hydra, and deeper character insight to the already-exciting teaser trailer released back in March. The WWII-era world that puny "90 lb. asthmatic" Steve Rogers (Evans) inhabits feels rich with detail, but the footage just as strongly conveys the uber-patriotic sense of pride and duty that drives him into the super serum-wielding arms of Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), who gives Rogers a physique to match his inner convictions.
We get a sense of humor to go along with that bravado, in the form of stone-faced Col. Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones), who tests puny Rogers' mettle by dropping a grenade in the middle of basic training, and a cutesy "Is it too late to go to the bathroom?" line from Rogers, pre-transformation. But Captain America's new trailer doesn't hard-sell the comedy as Thor did, and the best takeaway is its stirring sense of old-fashioned adventure and action, which reminds me: Maybe it's time to re-watch The Rocketeer again before July 22.
Verdict: Raid me, rock(eteer) me, avenge me already, Captain America!
