Early Word On Cap Film & Post Credit Avengers Teaser

Friday's "Captain America" has begun screenings for critics. While the media is under a strict orders NOT to talk about what they saw yet, since the film has screened at some American military bases some personnel sent in reports.


The most detailed of which has gone up at Moviehole.

Here's the description:

"It has Captain America waking up on a bed in a white in a room listening to a Mets baseball game and a girl that looks similar to Peggy Carter walks in to the room and he asks her “Where am I?” Realizing the baseball game he was listening to was from 1941 he gets out of the bed and two guards walk into the room and try to calm him down but he pushes them though a wall and breaks out of the room into a warehouse and runs out of the warehouse onto times square. A squad of special forces surround him then Nick Fury says “At ease solider.” He tells him they were trying to adjust him to his new area and he has been sleeping for 70 years and asks Captain America if he has some where else to be. Captain America says ”I am late for a date” (That line will make more sense when you see the movie)."

The source calls it the second best Marvel of the Summer behind "X-Men First Class" but ahead of "Thor".

They also talk about "The Avengers" connections in the film - turns out the modern day-set scenes shot in New York are not part of the post-credits  sequence but rather the film's narrative

The post-credit stuff is actually a teaser trailer for "The Avengers". The trailer reportedly wasn't shown at the domestic press screenings--begins with "Chris Evans punching a bag in the gym and eventually punches the bag so hard it breaks. Nick Fury walks in and asks him “If he is having trouble sleeping and tells him he has a mission for him."

It then "shows all of the characters one by one and ends with Thor throwing his hammer".

Robert Downey Jr, Cobie Smulders Chris Hemsworth Mark Ruffalo Jeremy Renner,Chris Evans Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson star in the May 4, 2012 release helmed by Joss Whedon
