For New Years all I wanted is a 4-second low-quality video of Chris Evans in motion as Captain America. Well, it looks like 2011 will be my lucky year, as Bleeding Cool has uncovered just that. Entertainment Tonight had a quick tease for their set visit preview and with it came our first look at Joe Johnston‘s Captain America: The First Avenger. While this video is mostly useless, it does give us a good hint that a theatrical teaser is around the corner. If you want a better look, see the hi-res images we posted exactly two months ago. Check out the short, short teaser below and have a Happy New Year!
Update: ComicBookMovie has a higher-res version of the very short clip below.
Empire also has our first low-quality look at Captain America fighting, what can be assumed, Red Skull. See it below.
Plot: The year is 1942, and Steve Rogers is a scrawny lad who desperately wants to fight Nazis for his country but can’t because he’s been deemed physically unfit. His fate — and his physique — is radically transformed when he signs up for Project: Rebirth, a secret military operation that turns wimps into studs using drugs and assorted sci-fi hoo-ha. There’s a love interest (Major Peggy Carter, played Haley Atwell), there’s a sidekick (Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stans), and there’s the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Hitler’s treacherous head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a magical object known as The Tesseract (comic fans know it better as The Cosmic Cube).
Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters July 22nd, 2010.
What do you think of the short teaser?
