Captain Cover Boy

Captain America: The First Avenger (Chris Evans) is the cover story of this month's Empire Magazine and  the issue boasts some new details about the production
  
Marvel.honcho Kevin Feige. says "scripts had been developed that took place half in World War II, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man. So we finally said, 'If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?' Well, we'd set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-ass Captain America movie we wanted to."


Director Joe Johnston: "I've always loved Raiders and the tone that it had. It was period but didn't feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we're doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It's funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action."

Are these quotes just hype and spin? I hope not

Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan and Samuel L. Jackson co star.

Cap will be released in 2D and 3-D plexes on July 22, 2011.
