Captain America: The Winter Soldier - First Image Revealed + the Writers interview

[Operation:Mego]

Speaking with Collider, the screenwriters revealed things have changed since the "anything goes" period back in 2011. "We were heading down a particular road that had a few more generous flashbacks, and we didn’t go quite down that road," McFeely said. Frankly, [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige came in and said like two words and we went “Oh, those are two really good words. Let’s go that way.” I mean I’m very pleased with where we’ve ended up."

Another major development with the project is the inclusion of Black Widow, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent played by Scarlett Johansson in both Iron Man 2 and The Avengers. In her time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe she hasn't had a great deal of experience working with Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America (Chris Evans), but reading the writers' ideas about how their personalities will somewhat clash is quite interesting, particularly in her modernity and his old school ways.

"[Black Widow is] a great—both in attitude and in profession—a great contrast to Steve Rogers," Markus told the site. "She’s incredibly modern, not very reverent, and just very straightforward whereas Steve is, you know a man from the 40s. He’s not a boy scout, but he is reserved and has a moral center, whereas her moral center moves."

But while the script has changed since its earliest stages, the writers say that what they have has actually been nailed down for a good amount of time (which is a good thing considering that production on the sequel began on Monday). Added McFeely, "Anything we do these days is really about, 'Well that’s a door and we need a window,' as opposed to big stuff. And then there will be stuff for cast, so we’ve had the privilege of going 'Alright now that it’s Robert Redford, what does that mean?' And so that was great."

Plus, is this Cap's new uniform?

I saw this image the other day and it just doesn't say "Captain America" to me. I think that he would be fine with a slightly less bulky version of WWII outfit and, for the benefit of the movies, just get rid of the mask!!!! I've come to the conclusion that no matter WHAT you do with it, the mask is just gonna look silly on film, although he looks a LITTLE less silly with his ears exposed than he did in the AVENGERS cowl....

I'd just keep the costume from The Avengers. It worked fine, no need to re-invent the wheel.

[kingdom warrior]

I'm hoping, that is just unused concept art....

Yeah.... it has more of a "Fighting American" vibe. Ironicly enough.

Maybe it's just a costume he'll wear for a certain mission, and not for the entire movie.

Hmmmm....

One thing that's bothered me about a lot of the mroe recent iterations of Cap's costume.... be it cartoon, comic ro film.... is that he doesn't have any insignia denoting him AS a captain. Looking at this costume, the stripes across his chest bend down at the shoulder, making him look like Corporal America. (Although the star would make him MasterCorporal America.... if the US had MasterCorporals.)

Actually, the silver stripes on the shoulders of Captain America's uniform have two indents in them which look like a pair of vertical standing silver bars. The U.S. Army insignia for denoting a captain is two vertical silver bars.

[thunderbolt]

seems like it would be more prominent than that. That looks more like noodly design fluff.

[clemso]

I guess Chris Evans is trying to get out of his mask. This costume would be the obvious path to do that.

[MIB41]

My greatest concern is his outfit is getting so "teched" out, that he's becoming more of a Stark product and less his own character. Pretty soon you won't be able to tell much difference between him and the Iron Patriot. I do hope they add a little color to the back of his costume. It's all been pretty much just one color. I think the red and white should go all the way around him.

[Operation:Mego]

The premise:
Following the events of the The Avengers, Steve Rogers struggles to adjust to the modern world and must partner with Natasha Romanoff to fight a powerful yet covert enemy in Washington, D.C.

Screenwriter Christopher Markus said that Black Widow was a "great contrast" to Captain America, describing her as "incredibly modern, not very reverent, and just very straightforward whereas Steve is, you know a man from the 40s. He’s not a boy scout, but he is reserved and has a moral center, whereas her moral center moves."

Also, it was reported that Nick Fury's origin will be explored.
