A few days ago we brought you the very first official photos from Joe Johnston‘s Captain America: The First Avenger. They were low-quality scans from EW. Now Paramount just sent us over the hi-res images and a few more. The film stars Chris Evans as our hero, Haley Atwell as the love interest, while Hugo Weaving will villain it up. Check out the photos below and make sure you click them for beautiful high resolution.
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 Evans in the costume?
