Not bad. I actually like the brown boots and gloves. It's not as cool as that WWII model in the other thread.
Crazy thing is that I thought that his mask's wings would look really stupid in real life, and now they just look like they're missing.
EDIT: Just noticed the profile shot - I think the helmet/mask combo works really well.

I agree with that sentiment. It looks very bare without the white wings showing up on the helmet. Otherwise, doesn't look too bad.

If that's it, I can live with it. But that looks far less WWII than the traditional Cap suit. Maybe he doesn't spend the whole movie in that era?
I think the wings could be screen printed in some stylized design on the sides. It does look bare without them.

It's not bad and could have been a lot worse. I agree wings on the helmet would help a lot.

ok, if they could just stencil wings on the helmet instead of no wings at all, I might be able to live with it, but the stripes missing is unforgivable, and now he looks like cap2099 rather than ww2. the worst part is, this will directly affect the merch, and comic look of the character. I may neven go out on a limb and say I would rather see Ultimate cap rather than that poopfest.

Its not bad but it is not too late to add the wings PLEASE!!! Looks really odd without them. I remember saying the same thing about the Abominations ears in the Hulk movie, i got so ocd about it, and Cap with out his wings will drive me nuts.

all I did was take the black off the costume, added some stripes, and stenciled wings o9n the helmet

He looks like a cheap knock-off of Captain America. Like some lame mexican toys found in cheap packaging with totally wrong colors and detail. I think they found some crappy bootleg toys and designed the costume after them.

The "A" on the cowl is what they should have omitted from the costume. Not the wings, which could be painted on like they painted stuff on their planes back then. They are making all the movies from the Ultimate universe, and not the original stories. It just isn't my Marvel. I'd like to see the old universe style made into movies. It isn't going to happen...but I can still wish.
seems decent to me.
though to say this drawing of it is the actual costume is a bit of a reach. it is possible even likely it will look like this but until it is actully seen in cloth in front of a cmaera on the actors body it is not the actual costume.

That's what I envisioned when i did my tweaking, like plane stencils. I like the A, but hate the piping, and the shoulder pads, they would hinder a soldier more than help him, being they are strapped on, and attached at the belt. chain mailing is completely flexible in comparison.

Looks like crap.....Basically it's Ultimate Cap. They should have stuck with the iconic costume....just modernize it slightly ala Bryan Hitch in Reborn....

I don't know why the movies feel like they have to run away from the traditional costumes.
Yeah, they are silly looking, but that's what you expect with a super hero. I almost thing the Nolan Batman movies go too far in trying to explain all of the gear. I really wish the creators of the films would do more work on the film's plots than trying to justify or explain away things or change them to make them more modern or realistic.
If they want to make a realistic movie, making a super hero action movie isn't the best choice. The costume is a convention of the genre.

If that is really the movie Cap's costume, I'll pass on the movie. Looks like IronKnight. Lame.

It's all remains to be seen.
If it's all put together well, the strict-canonical-comic-accurateness of a costume has not been a deal-breaker for a successful and well-received movie to date (Batman, for instance.)
Seriously, unless they put Cap in a Tu-tu, the costume is the least of our worries. Based on the pics in this thread, if they get the other stuff right, it could still be a good movie.

I keep thinking of THE ATOM everytime I look at that wingless cowl.

I think Christopher Reeve's Superman is proof that you can directly translate a costume from comics to screen, and have it work. That picture of Captain America looks like they're trying to split the difference between bright costume and military gear, and I don't think it works. He doesn't look like a mythic superhero. He looks like a fancy-pants soldier the other soldiers make fun of.

Funny The 1940's Cap movie couldn't get the suit right either and this was back in the day when the studios would get the costume right no matter how cheesy it looked......
He has no wings,No shield, the flag design is only in the front of the costume and he shoots a gun.........
Here's the trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d4brA6vPY4
Not bad, but I'm not all that excited either. But the helmet really does need wings. I can pretty much forgive the modern look of the suit, but no wings? That's like Batman with no bat on his chest

He definitely needs the wings on his helmet/hood :yeah:

My turn to weigh in. I LOVE the Costume, it looks like Cap to me...and I'm not upset about the lack of Wings on the Helmut.

The revised costume looks alot better. I do agree, he needs a wing design of some kind on the sides. Too blank with the rest of the outfit being so heavy on design.

In the 1940's you put wings on your Helmet and you Sir were a fairy.....:smiley1:
I can imagine a scene in the movie.
Bucky Barnes: Say Cap, your Helmet looks blank let me stencil some wings on.
Steve Rogers: Kid, You put wings on my helmet and I'll Kick yourass from here to Timbuktu,
The boys here will rip me apart, Hell Hitler will die laughing.....put the paint down son.....
>In the 1940's you put wings on your Hemet and you Sir were a fairy
Worked out okay for the original Flash.

I meant in real life......:smiley1::silly:
>I meant in real life
....er.... Cap's not real....
....which kinda goes back to my WAY earlier point: why get wrapped around the axle about "realism" in a superhero movie? Trying to real it up opens the door to all sorts of OTHER concerns. Such as with the movie uniform. It'd be durned near unwearable in real life. Those shoulder pads (with the tiedowns around the bicep) would limit arm rotation and be really uncomfortable. And the front web straps would constantly be folding you in half. (Not to mention they're actually cargo tiedowns from a transport truck.) Tights may be silly, but they're iconic, eliminate a lot of the extra questions, and no sillier than the idea of a steroided up supersoldier fighting hordes of Nazis without taking a scratch, and surviving 20 years frozen in ice.

Errrrr Meant if a Real Soldier wore Wings on his hemet in the 1940's his platoon might rip him apart....is what I meant.....
if he painted them on it wouldda been cool. think about the things painted on airplanes in WW2. maybe actual wings as opposed to painted one are stretching it but i am sure painted wings would be cool
>if a Real Soldier wore Wings on his hemet in the 1940's his platoon might rip him apart
I dunno. Guys do all sorts of weird things. I knew a guy had a raccoon skull tied to his, and for a long time I had my scrim organized into a combat mullet. But if you're already got a setting with mutants, and superpowers and giant Nazi robots then little headwings shouldn't be that big a deal. Wings would be morean airforce thing; or maybe Airborne.... but if you want to get technical, Cap probably has his SpecFor qualification so it'd be okay.
Biggest problem with headwings; be they painted or attached would be how much attention it'd attract. ("Hey! That guy must be important! Shoot him first!") But even that's mitigated by the idea that Cap is SUPPOSED to be visible.

It's not as bad is I feared, but I'm nonplussed...
Of course, if we now have to accept movie Batman running around in basically an armored scuba suit, we can accept Cap in this...
Feeling very crotchety about movie superheroes lately. I actually liked how DD was handled in his costuming and think Cap could be done similarly--but those details are important.
They were to Kirby in the '40s, and they should be now.
(And if Red Skull's head ends up looking like a stewed tomato again, I'm really going to be ticked!!!)
