EW'S FIRST LOOK-Chris Evans as Captain America

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

*Mods: I hope this works! It's been awhile since I inserted anything on LJ...*





Quote from article, out tomorrow on newsstands

“At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, ‘If the movie bombs, I’m f—-ed. If the movie hits, I’m f—-ed!’” After declining the part three times, Evans took a meeting with Marvel execs and Johnston and was dazzled by their plans for the movie. He still felt wary about suiting up for Captain America — but then he had an epiphany. “I was just scared,” he says. “I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear.’” Evans signed a six-picture deal with Marvel to play the character, and he has no regrets: “I can’t believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America.”

-does dance of unparalleled glee-

The jaw! The shoulders! The hair!

Hi, Cap!

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I pulled something, squeeing as hard as I was!!

Chris is TOTALLY Cap. The hair is just... perfect! And he's all red white and blue steel looking at the camera!

I really, really think they're gonna do justice to Steve Rogers. Can't wait until next year.

[melisus.livejournal.com]

I'm quite certain I just made a sound only dogs can hear.

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

I admit I made a rather inhuman sound myself. This is just... UNF!!

He. Is. Steve Rogers. I need this movie to do a bazillion dollars so everyone will finally get why I love Cap so much.

Now... article needs to give us Bucky. Like yesterday.

[melisus.livejournal.com]

OMG BUCKY. Is it wrong that HE'S the character I've been dying to see the most?

[mirai-gohan.livejournal.com]

There is nothing. NOTHING. wrong with wanting to see Bucky.

I'm so nervous about Bucky it is not even funny. I still am not sure I like the actor they cast--he doesn't look like James at all. I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed. But I'm still holding out hope, and for that, I want to see some pics. Soon. ARGH.

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

I've been watching KINGS on Hulu. Lemme tell ya--don't worry AT ALL! about Sebastian Stan and his acting talent or looks. He pretty much rocked all his scenes with Ian McShane. Even had some awesome moments showing off his character's military skills. After watching it, I can really picture him not only as Bucky, but as Winter Soldier...

But I can't picture Sebastian Stan in the traditional Bucky uniform from WWII.

[mirai-gohan.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'll definitely take your word for it. I think I'm just worried because he really does not suit my image of James at all. But if the acting skill is there, I'm totally game.

Weirdly? I'm having no problems picturing him in the WWII costume, but I am with everything else. Go figure!

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Second on the "He was awesome on Kings" comment.

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Why, helloooo there, handsome!

Damn, Evans is looking good. I mean, he looked good at ComicCon, but he's looking really fantastic here.

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

Heh, for me, Chris always looks fantastic. But, him being all "Steve Rogers: SRS BSNS!!" here is so... *EPIC FLAIL*

I'm not saying I'm gonna camp out at B&N tonight to get the first copies that hit the newsstands tomorrow... but I'm VERY!! sort of a little tempted.

[valtyr]

Oh my God, yes, he looks perfect.

(Also, six picture deal! :DDD)

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

I need that article with all the deets like yesterday! LOL!!

A lot of pro-Cap boards had been starving for news, so this is like a gorgeously sexy rain shower after a very long drought or something.

Now, we need text-free pics for our artists on this comm. Mmmm.... movieverse manips NOM NOM NOM!!

[arileo.livejournal.com]

JAW ON FLOOR

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

Right there with you :)

!!

[dieewigenacht.livejournal.com]

I SAW THIS A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO AND I CAN'T STOP SQUEALING!

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

*wolf whistle*

Crossing DW lines to ogle. I'm going to have to get a copy of this baby. Omnomnom.

[dieewigenacht.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have to go and kidnap that baby.

[cookinguptales.livejournal.com]

I've had a tab open with this all day. I may or may not keep coming back to it to squeal.

I had my reservations with Evans at the very beginning, but oh my goddd. I am so crazy excited for this movie now.

[silver-autumn.livejournal.com]

My ovaries just exploded. :D

*THUD*

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

[cursor-mundi.livejournal.com]

*sound only a dog can hear*

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

You can't see me, but I'm so groping this pic.

That shield is TEH SEX! Well, so is Chris' um... derriere ;)

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

O.M.G. :o

[valtyr]

The pic where he's smiling is so adorable. And Peggy looks great! I adore her hair.

[muccamukk]

Oh, my poor bandwidth, but so worth it!

ARE WE THERE YET?

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

OMGOMGOMG!!

*dies*

Love. Those. Pics. That smile! Peggy!

(but why no Bucky, EW????)

[cygna-hime.livejournal.com]

Somehow, in all that I zeroed in on the words "six-picture deal".

I would pay for six movies of that. Oh yes. I'm not entirely sure they could script so badly I wouldn't call it worth it, as long as he grinned like he does in the photo at least once per film.

Best of Marvel's recent marketing decisions. No contest.

[muccamukk]

Well, that will include other franchise films he's in, like Avengers. I don't know what the other four will be though.

[valtyr]

They have Samuel L Jackson booked for eight or nine. I think they're just planning long - six pictures is likely vague thoughts of an Avengers trilogy and a Cap trilogy if the first ones do well. (Although I'd hope he'd guest in Iron Man 3 :D)

Yeah, I think that's what they're after.

[truthiness-aura.livejournal.com]

I have the article in front of me; it says Marvel originally wanted a nine-picture deal, with a Captain America trilogy, an Avengers trilogy, and three other Marvel movies to be named later, but they ended up agreeing on six pictures (doesn't say which six, but it's got to be the Cap and Avengers trilogies).

Also in the article: "Evans began prepping for the role by doing what anyone would do in his situation: He went online and read what the fans thought of his casting."

HI CHRIS!

It's a really good article, I recommend picking it up if you get a chance. Wish I had a scanner so I could copy it in...

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[mirai-gohan.livejournal.com]

Your icon is exactly how I feel about this picture.

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[muccamukk]

I predict this comm goes crazy in about... oh, eight months.

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

Holy Linebacker Pecs, Cap!!

I'm imagining RDJ doing VERY bad things to that chest. Incredible!

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

Rofl thats EXACTLY where my brain went.

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

It's actually quite weird to see him hairless.

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[dissociate.livejournal.com]

I wish they kept a little something there, I just keep staring at those pecs and going "I wonder if it was a priority for the government in WW2 to make sure their super soldier was properly manscaped"...

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeah. But then again, his body just got dossed with who knows what.

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[illuminatius.livejournal.com]

That's not a manip, right? RIGHT? =O

That's a fiiiiine piece of man, right there. But where's the chest hair? I mean...a piece of the sexy just went away.

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[dissociate.livejournal.com]

Haha, yea! I kept giggling at how the government guys in the background are all looking on, as if assessing the quality of their manscaping job. It's a bit jarring for me, it takes me out of the time period almost and reminds me this is a hollywood movie. I mean, I'm not complaining, but...

Re: bbl blubbering incoherently

[illuminatius.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Obviously, still hot, but yeah. Feels like something is missing.


Hm. Oh well.



Also, I love your icon. Reminds of Pokémon. Iron Doduo ftw.

[truthiness-aura.livejournal.com]

My pants just exploded. FOR AMERICA.

From the article:

[truthiness-aura.livejournal.com]

Another great quote about Evans' reluctance to accept the role, from Kevin Feige (the chief of Marvel Studios) and director Joe Johnston.

"Feige says he was actually impressed by Evans' reluctance; he believed it reflected a maturity befitting Steve Rogers. Adds Johnston, "He has really brought a whole different level to the character that I didn't know existed- more real, more complicated, more vulnerable."

STEEEEEEEEEEEEVE.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Funny. That's what Tony Stark said too.

[mirai-gohan.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness that quote. I can't believe he turned them down three times, but I CAN believe that they STILL wanted him to do it--he's too perfect. The more I see of him AS Steve, the more I realise that no one else could play the part.

Also: SIX PICTURES?! Oh my god. *dies from joy at all the stuff we're gonna see him in*

...so d'you think he'll have a major/minor/whatever part in Iron Man 3? :D

[muccamukk]

Please take a moment to review previous opinions on this matter.

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

I will gladly eat my words, without ketchup if it gets me more shirtless scenes.

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Ditto. I so want to see him have sex with Robert now. *nods dramatically*

[suzanne78.livejournal.com]

Heh. Even though we're still weeks/months from a trailer or a film, and it may be premature to say this, it's LOL-tastic to read the hand-wringing when Chris was cast for Steve Rogers. It was understandable sure. I'm just glad we're getting strong evidence that Chris was truly the best choice for Cap.

[cygna-hime.livejournal.com]

There's a trope for that. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AndTheFandomRejoiced)

Personally, I was uncertain since we hadn't actually seen his in-character facial expressions. But the combination of that srsface and the grin = perfect.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

This makes my day. XD

Haters gonna hate.

[13-lucky-charms.livejournal.com]

LMFAO I wondered when someone was gonna bring that up XD

[illuminatius.livejournal.com]

xD From *rage* to GUH. It's amazing how much a gorgeous physique can affect opinions. o_o

[13-lucky-charms.livejournal.com]

I AM SO EXCITE FOR BUCKY NOW 8D

[vulpesvortex.livejournal.com]

Look at him being all serious and adorable! <3

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

... is that Balto?

[vulpesvortex.livejournal.com]

Why, yes it is. It's my *delirious glee* icon. :D

[illuminatius.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Hel-looo.

Even if the movie were to bomb (which I hope it won't), there will be eye candy.

Its cool!!

[dantechick.livejournal.com]

I still think Channing tatum (spelling?) whold have made a beter Cap but I love Chris.they just should have bleachd his hair more.too brown for me.
Yes I am picky. :)
