Avengers Costume Redesigns (Particularly Captain America)

[kieron39]

I don't think its that revamped, hes prob sleeveless and capeless when hes just around the head quarters,. but i am liking the new hair do, (keep in mind its terrible quality capture of the trailers we've seen so far)

[Vartha]

I'm still surprised that Thor got such a revamped look for this film.lol

I mean, out of all of the Avengers present, Thor was like one of the few that i was somewhat confident that his look would stay relatively the same.

The one thing that I'll need to definitely adjust to is the new length of his hair. Call me strange but I preferred of how long Thor's and even Black Widow's hair was in previous films.lol I thought those looks commented well with them.
haha I'm actually HAPPY about it.
Like I keep saying I bet you Thor can MORPH his costume. THIS means there's more chance to see different Variations of Thor's different looks over the years.
There's a shot in front of the SHIELD logo and table with Cap at the table and Thor in Front. Either his cape is tied behind him or it looks like that one Thor Movie action figure with the cloth hanging off the belt.
You can plainly see the red on his shoulders.

[Vartha]

To me in the one scene it looks like this as mentioned before

lol; can you imagine Thor having more outfits to wear in a ensemble film than he did in his OWN film previously?lol

Moderators, these Storage Wars ads are distracting and really intrusive. I hate them.

By acknowledging the ads you prove that they work, so now there's no chance in hell that they're going away.

Just use AdBlock.

[Avenger]

And I doubt the mods have any control over the ads. That's way above their pay grade.

[Vartha]

We regular mods have no control we can only complain about them like you guys. lol


...we don't get paid by the way

[Vartha]

Think about the Toy lines. Thor's going to have as many outfits as IM has Armor! lol

[Wafflehat]

With some of the 'concept' series toys theyve done so far, wouldnt be surprised if they run out of ideas. Might start seeing 'sick day thor', and 'hungover Cap'. Heres hopeing for 'invisable stealth suit black widow':woot:

You saying that has just reminded me that when Odin stripped Thor of his armour, the armor on hisarms just kind of dispursed and 'fell off' [for lack of a better term]. So, if we know that can happen when the armor comes off, who's to say it does happen similiar for them to 'come on' [or as you say, 'morph']?

Well That was what I was thinking of. It just makes sense if it works one way, why not the other? Being so advanced in technology it just seems to fit.

We already know that it did -- at the end, when Mjolnir flew back to his hand and he got his powers back, we got a little sequence of all the scale-mail morphing back around him.

But those two sequences set up a bit of a conceptual problem, because they almost imply that it's whether he has his power at all that determines what his costume looks like... almost like a nod to the old "Donald Blake taps the ground with his cane and magically manifests himself as Thor, completed with costume and Mjolnir" routine.

Yet we have no reason to believe that Thor's armor, including the mail arms and the cape, aren't "normal clothes", too. As others have pointed out, he took off the cape himself in the banquet-hall scene after the interrupted coronation. Then put it back on to ride out to Heimdall's observatory to go to Jotunheim.

And the figure pictured above is wearing a costume that was labelled in the concept art in the Art Book as "training grounds", I believe -- they were considering giving us that costume, but in the end they decided not to have it in his movie. I do sort of wonder if his sleeveless look in Avengers might be because he gets pulled away from Asgard when he's dressed for, or on, the training grounds, therefore.

Despite the implications of the "morphing" in his movie, I would be okay with it if, in The Avengers, the concept is that the scale-mail arms and cape appear when he uses Mjolnir to kind of summon them ("powering up", as Vartha says).

But then, I would also be okay with it if his look for The Avengers is sleeveless, with the cape. (And as in his own movie, he takes off the cape for downtime.)


One practical consideration: remember that Chris Hemsworth bulked up so much that the mail sleeves were TOO SMALL for him. I think in some interview, Hiddleston remarked that Hemsworth was having problems with the too-tight sleeves making his hands numb.

They may have ditched the mail sleeves for The Avengers just to make it more comfortable for Hemsworth, therefore.

The new Cap outfit looks so fantastic that I wouldn't mind one bit if it were adapted in the comics. The silver brackets on the shoulders are a great addition to the classic look, I think. Even the redesigned white sections on the arms look cool, I'm surprised to say.

[Flint Marko]

AHHHHH the more I look at it the more I love it. I can't wait to see it in motion.

[Boom]

That costume is disgustingly perfect.

[solidsnake86]

Costume looks great, the comic should take a few cues from that design.

[the dmg]

That costume is disgustingly perfect.
Agreed. They even pulled off the pirate boots look.

[Boom]

Marvel had better show The Hulk if they know what's good for them.

:awesome:

[Isildur´s Heir]

The Avengers teaser i´ve seen as a very low quality to it, it´s 95% un-watchable.
The only thing i can see is Steve punching the bag and Thor without sleeves (can´t see the suit properly, but i see his bare arms).

All in can say is, if Thor´s suit is some thing like this

http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z321/Vartha2/Avengers%20movie/Cap%20post%20credit/modernthorscaled800.jpg

Is light years better the crappy one from the Thor movie.

As for the new Cap....
It looks great, except the fact that the wings are still drawn on the cowl :(
I also wasn´t expecting it to be armor like.....

I don't like the design on his chest. I prefer the discs which makes it more classic. I also don't like the red ribbons he has attached to his belt. I prefer that Thor wears a cape. Other than that, it's not bad.

As for Cap's costume, why can't the movies give him some kind of chain mail scale on his chest, or at least have it textured up there instead of just smooth? It could've even been like the scale on the Spider-Man costume.

[Isildur´s Heir]

Oh yeah, he needs the cape, no question there.
He also needs the helmet.

The reason i like it more than the Thor movie one is that is more Viking like.

[DyeLorean]

About Cap's suit, I remember I really liked the way they designed the red/white stripes in the 1940's costume , I though it was very clever.
I'm really liking the new Avengers costume, yes yes!

[Ultimate Doom]

I cant find anything i dont like about Cap's costume :D

[samsnee]

I have to admit that I've gotten so used to seeing just the two red stripes from the WWII costume that the third middle stripe now looks weird.

[Spider-Vader]

I'm really liking the new Cap suit, I love the old one but the Avengers outfit is almost a perfect version of the classic suit.

[JP]

The new Cap suit makes me cry with happiness.

[TheVileOne]

I see it is tweaked from the concept art. The ears are now covered but that's OK. I don't mind that the wings are engraved in. And it's more like a cowl now instead of a helmet.

I do like that there is white trim on the sleeves as we expected. It is really just a nice modern update/tweak of the current/classic costume. Nothing TOO dramatic or weird. I'm glad they kept the wings and saw how important they are to the iconography. Now do I prefer the concept art version? Yes, but this is fine oto.

[Dark Raven]

I hope that for the Avengers costume, Cap's ear covers are removable, so that he can have his ears exposed at least part of the time. He only needs them covered in battle. The rest of the time there's no reason he can't walk around without them covered. At least that would cover all bases and keep everyone happy.

[BoredGuy]

im at the point now that i dont think its so much the ear thing that bothers me as much as the bulkiness of the cowl

[egarza]

thor looks BA sleeveless with his cape in that last scene of the trailer! its almost like its all tucked in by his shoulders and then maybe he can let it out?

i don't miss the arm-or but the concept 'promo' pic makes you wonder...

[MahvelBaby!]

Loki looked awesome too! Heck everyone looked BA! :D

So why did the designers think that bright red wouldn't work in the 1940s for Cap's costume, but it works now for the modern one?

[JAK®]

So why did the designers think that bright red wouldn't work in the 1940s for Cap's costume, but it works now for the modern one?
Ever noticed how everything is brown in period pieces set around WWII? I think the designers got stuck in that mindset.

[Rowsdower!]

Love the new Cap costume. I thought the one from Cap's solo movie was great and this one is even better. Not sure about the new Thor suit though. I always thought his costume in the comics was dumb but I loved the look of the suit in the movie. Not sure I'm going to dig it without the sleeves though.

[Iron_Stark]

So why did the designers think that bright red wouldn't work in the 1940s for Cap's costume, but it works now for the modern one?

Look at boxing gloves from that era, all brown. Now, they're (mostly) red.

Same here, just different colors for different eras.

[Quasimod0]

I bet he'll wear sleeves at some point

[Dark Raven]

Look at boxing gloves from that era, all brown. Now, they're (mostly) red.

Same here, just different colors for different eras.

But look at the American flag from that era: RED, white and blue. Now, it's still RED, white and blue.

Cap's costume isn't meant to emulate a boxing glove. It's meant to emulate the American flag.

[JB-the-Hunter]

But look at the American flag from that era: RED, white and blue. Now, it's still RED, white and blue.

Cap's costume isn't meant to emulate a boxing glove. It's meant to emulate the American flag.
It still has red though, just not in the gloves and boots. They's no "A" on the american flag, there's 50 stars on the american flag not 3, and there's no brown in the american flag, but Cap's costume is meant to resemble the american flag, not be exactly the same.

[glorynation]

cap's costume looks great

[Rowsdower!]

Sorry to bring up Batman here but I look at this Cap costume... how perfectly it emulates its comic book counterpart and still looks like valid battle gear... and I can't help but think that if DC and Warner actually tried, they could give us a Batman costume that looked like the comic book suit and still managed to be badass.

Now granted, I know Nolan and WB are going for uber-realism and that's cool. But I think that when WB gets around to making the next movie (a reboot, a sequel or whatever it may be) they should consider moving away from the all black thing. It's been 43 years since Adam West. No one is going to think of that anymore if they make a badass blue and gray or black and gray suit. As we saw in the recent Batman video games, it's entirely possible to make that look dark and cool.

[Iron_Stark]

But look at the American flag from that era: RED, white and blue. Now, it's still RED, white and blue.

Cap's costume isn't meant to emulate a boxing glove. It's meant to emulate the American flag.

Sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly.

If you see one of the first promo pics of Cap where he's standing surrounded by Hydra agents, look at the gloves, then look at some old timey boxer gloves, they both look like there were made from the same thick leathery material with the same color and plus those gloves look like they're from that era.

Now put the Avengers gloves/boots in TFA movie and they'd really look out of place.

[SheldonLevene]

Loved Caps suit last night in the film and I think the Avengers suit looks just as amazing. If not more so. Great job by the costume folks at the studio.

It's not like the 40s didn't have red leather. But... during the war, and on the front lines, I actually wouldn't think that the Allies had a whole lot of red leather just hanging around.

So from the first promo pics, it made sense to me that Cap's gloves and boots were brown -- more like they were standard-issue soldier gear that he incorporated into the costume, since it would have been a little more difficult to source custom, hand-made red leather gloves and boots in the middle of an army that has no need to have red leather on hand.

It's just a little costuming "realism" detail that made sense to me the moment I saw it.

Cap's modern costume, of course, they can get made out of any material they can order or custom manufacture.

[sgaana]

Also, p.s. good GOD I am LOVING these posters! And loving so much more that they're meant to add up into a full banner!

the avengers costumes official release..where's thor?

Well, it seems like they've been released 1 per day for SDCC, although Hawkeye and Black Widow were a two-fer today. So... Thor Saturday and Hulk Sunday? Or vice versa?

[daderade]

Prob Thor Sunday...if its best for last anyway

[wobbly]

But look at the American flag from that era: RED, white and blue. Now, it's still RED, white and blue.

Cap's costume isn't meant to emulate a boxing glove. It's meant to emulate the American flag.

Then the blue should be darker. More of a Navy/Royal blue than the cyan it's usually colored as :cwink:

[Wolfwood]

I like how Cap has a "Ooooh! What's that?" Kind of expression.

[Kirmit]

the avengers costumes official release..where's thor?

There's another Avenger missing......

[marty mcfly]

Awesome posters. Can't wait for Thor, Hulk & Nick...

That said, I also can't wait for official stills. Even though hand-drawn/painted movie posters have a great old-school vibe to them (ala Raiders of the Lost Ark) each of these characters look kind of... puffy... Right? I mean Cap looks abnormally thick and even Black Widow has a soft look to her.

Don't get me wrong, SO happy to have these posters but I can't WAIT for official photos of the team!

[DeGenerate10]

From the trailer I think I prefer Thor's costume from the first Thor movie

[EML420]

Wait so from that poster is Iron man going back to the circular center piece instead of the triangle one? And I cant wait for Hulk and Thor is there a timeline for these or are they just being released over a few weeks?

[daderade]

They are doing it over the weekend as a promotion for the Avengers at SDCC

[Jason20]

From the trailer I think I prefer Thor's costume from the first Thor movie


I'm thinking that what we saw in the trailer was just Thor relaxing, it was bassically the same look as from the movie after what was supposed to be his coronation, just without the armor on the arms. They showed some of the toys at Comic-Con for the Avengers and Cap and IM are their new ones and Thors wearing his from his movie. So I'm guessing he lost the the chain mail or whatever on his arms, you can still see part of the cape in the trailer

[daderade]

i think the armor on his arms, like the cape, is more of a battle suit. it also should be noted that the CG is not finished in the movie, so it may be included after.

[Jason20]

I'm assuming it's also to give Hemsworth a break. In his own movie, at least he got to wear civvies for half the filming time or so. I doubt they would put Thor in regular Earth clothes in The Avengers, though.

So that only gives Thor two options: one, wear his "battle" gear the entire time he's with The Avengers (which, isn't that what he basically does in the comics?); or, two, give him a still-Asgardian variant outfit that will be the equivalent of our getting to see others "half-dressed" (like Tony out of the armor, or Steve out of costume or without the cowl).

The reason I'm guessing they didn't want to make Thor just wear his battle outfit the whole time is that reportedly the sleeves were really uncomfortable for Hemsworth while shooting his own movie. Like, so tight his hands would go numb. Of course... you'd think they could make new sleeves for it for this movie, but maybe there's some technical reason they couldn't solve the problem. Solution: allow Hemsworth to get out of the sleeves sometimes.

[phillyboy]

Is Sam Jackson slimming down for this movie? Looks slimmer in the concept art than he did in IM2. Not saying he was huge, but had a bit of a gut on him- looks like he'd been to that donut store a few times before finding tony there...

[Isildur´s Heir]

http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/avenge_cap.jpg

Three things about the Captain America suit:

1 - The star should be bigger

2 - The armor like suit gives him more of a operative look than a superhero. And before someone say that he is a government agent in the movie, that alone sucks and ruins the character. The Ultimate line is cool, but pales in comparison to the original.

3 - I don't like the mask. First, it´s a bucket, when it should be a one-piece mask. It makes sense to wear bucket helmet during the war, and so i like the one from the movie, but in the present.....
Second, he needs the small white wings on the temples of the cowl, without it he feels...naked, it´s like Batman without the white eyes.
The last thing Bruce Wayne wants is to be seen as a man that wears a suit, but every movie fails on that.


http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/sdccmarvel011art1.jpg

Thor suit is not a "superhero suit", it´s his battle suit....
So, once again.....no helmet....which is a shame, not only the helmet in the movie looked great (very King Thor, which is the best Thor costume ever, imo), it makes sense because Thor is a Viking God, and Vikings wore helmets when they went to battle, that´s why he has it in the comics.
Then again, the movie suit is bad, he doesn´t look Viking nor Godly, but an eccentric biker.

[DyeLorean]

Yes, Thor's helmet looked amazing, hopefully he'll be wearing it again (with his longer hair should look even better).
His chest is a little big, like inflated.
And Hill looks beautiful in "How I Met Your SHIELD Agents"

Or Maybe its just to show his guns.:woot: But Most likely it's just his Out of battle suit

Now your just nitpicking..

Three things about the Captain America suit:

1 - The star should be bigger

2 - The armor like suit gives him more of a operative look than a superhero. And before someone say that he is a government agent in the movie, that alone sucks and ruins the character. The Ultimate line is cool, but pales in comparison to the original.

3 - I don't like the mask. First, it´s a bucket, when it should be a one-piece mask. It makes sense to wear bucket helmet during the war, and so i like the one from the movie, but in the present.....
Second, he needs the small white wings on the temples of the cowl, without it he feels...naked, it´s like Batman without the white eyes.
The last thing Bruce Wayne wants is to be seen as a man that wears a suit, but every movie fails on that.


http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/sdccmarvel011art1.jpg

Thor suit is not a "superhero suit", it´s his battle suit....
So, once again.....no helmet....which is a shame, not only the helmet in the movie looked great (very King Thor, which is the best Thor costume ever, imo), it makes sense because Thor is a Viking God, and Vikings wore helmets when they went to battle, that´s why he has it in the comics.
Then again, the movie suit is bad, he doesn´t look Viking nor Godly, but an eccentric biker.

[Parker Wayne]

Thor looked better without the helmet.

[Nathan]

I hope he rocks the sleeveless and helmetless look for the majority of the time in the Movie.

[LuisTX85]

My ratings:
Black Widow-9/10
Iron Man-9.5/10(his shoulders make him look even much more like an action figure,I want them connected as one piece)
Hulk-10/10
Cap-9.5/10(expose his ears or get rid of the zippers and he'd be perfect to me)
Thor-9.5/10(I'm really hoping he gets to use the helmet this time for most of the movie)
Hawkeye-9/10
Fury-10/10

[Quasimod0]

I love thor's suit just as it is. And caps new suit is freakin awesome. Looks like a super hero costume to me.

[Invader34]

I hope the rocks the sleeveless and helmetless look for the majority of the time in the Movie.

I agree, Chris has great arms to show off and thats the way Thor is supposed to look anyway, and since we already had a movie that had sleeves lets give it a try without and which ever one looks better gets the go in Thor 2.

[Mako]

I love Thor's current suit,But I really dig the sleeveless one from the teaser and so I sure wouldn't mind IF he used that for the majority of the film.....I still would like to see him in the helmet though like at least for a fight with Hulk or something!!!

[Verbal21]

I loved the look Thor had in his movie so any changes they make for the Avengers movie will be fine to me, although I can't picture him being sleeveless and wearing the helmet looking anything buy silly. Maybe my mind will change if I can see a pic of that combo

[NickNitro]

Thor: Sleeveless please, with or without helmet (helmet would be great for major battles)
I feel that the helmet now that Thor isnt the complete center of the story/movie can do. I can understand that if they wanted no helmet in his movie so it was easier to see facial expressions and acting thats fair enough. Now I would more so like to see him in his helmet flying around smiting down foes while hulk cap and IM are doing so as well.

Iron Man: Great, but predictable. Maybe there will be some minor redesigns or maybe we get to see Starks mansion with an even bigger Hall of Armor :D

Hulk: Absolutely phenomenal, fantastic way to give a fantastic monster feel and redesign him. I really thought TIH design was the best but this last design really is growing on me. I keep looking at it and love it more and more.

Cap: Great, love the embossed wings on the helmet, great flair (poked out wings just sadly could never really do in a movie adaptation). Love the striped torso (big issue with his first outfit a lonnnng time ago)

Agent Hill: Looks awesome...plain and simple

I sure hope Thor's outfit in the trailer was just for relaxing purposes, because I prefer the outfit that's in his new poster.

The sleeveless look will be the look of the entire film. The artwork released this weekend is inaccurate as was the first piece of art/group shot we got of the Avengers a few months ago. Apparently the artists didn't know Hemsworth's costume was changing because their renditions of Hawkeye and Cap were spot-on.

It was only a minute long trailer we don't know anything.

I've seen the trailer frame by frame and there are 5 shots of Thor in it - all of them sleeveless.

-3 of the 5 shots are interior shots of Thor in the Helicarrier - all sleeveless.

-The other 2 shots are exterior shots of Thor fighting - both of them sleeveless.

I really am preferring the new look. He looks like a beast, the guy's biceps gotta be at least 23 inches. Not to mention the contrast between the arm exposure and the longer hair is just perfect. He looks like something straight out of the Viking mythos.

[Jason20]

Thats still just a minute long trailer and for all we know those 3 interior shots were 1 scene and the other 2 could be 1 of many fights in the movie. Every one of the Marvel movies theres been at least 3 fights. This is going to be at least an 1hr 1/2 long or even 2hrs long, you cant just go by what you see in the first trailer. They only showed us what they have so far, as far as I know theyre not even done filming yet, so we'll prob get the poster look and trailer look throughout it. I'll admit he looks like a beast with the bare arms, but he looks more like a Warrior God with the Chainmail. Its the difference between a small skirmish look and a full on battle, he gonna need the arm protection when he finally goes up against his brother, and in my opinion the Red Skull, who was more than likely transported to wherever Loki was.

I loved the costume from the first film. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. But what further leades me to believe that they've dropped the chainmail is the contrast the bare arms has with the longer hair.

I really feel like Whedon, or Marvel, or whoever made the decision for Thor's look in this film, wanted this:

^That exact shot is in the film, sans the helmet.

I really think this was a case of truly redesigning his look and I doubt we'll see the chainmail.

[samsnee]

I'm pretty sure the zippers on the torso will be removed in post so the stripes have a "cleaner" look.

[egarza]

doubt it. you can see them quite clearly in the art and it would be way easier to conceal the zippers by design rather than digitally, frame by frame, after the fact.

[Jason20]

Loving Caps costume, just wish the arms were full on white but this looks great non the less. The zipper would also be less noticable if it were on the white part and not the red, but it might have been a little awkward (dont know how).
I'm guessing that the promo art and toy are Thor's main suit, and what we see in the comics is more for leisure and relaxation than anything. It cant be comfortable for him to have to wear them all the time and this was a way for them to make it more comfortable for Hemsworth than having him wear everyday clothes as he is still a God when he comes back to earth and not a human this time.

i hope to god they bring the chainmail back for thor during the fight scenes....
its not that i hate the bare arms luk, which is perfect when hes not fighting...
but it is NOT thor for me if he doesnt have his chainmail

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, as someone who has always kind of hated Thor's traditional comic book appearance (sorry purists) I think the chain mail makes it look so much better.

[JB-the-Hunter]

Well it's red in the movie and in the Ultimate comics.
Are you people color blind? look at the red in Thor's cape, Cap's gloves/stripes and Iron Man's armor... and then look at Hawkeye's uniform and tell me it's the same color.
It's not RED it's BURGUNDY. It may not be purple but it's close enough for me, just as long as it's not red like a lot of people seem to think it is.

[chris moore]

Really REALLY could have done with spoiler tags on that man. We don't get Cap here in the UK till Friday, and personally I wanted to see the after credit bit for the first time in the theatre. Suits hanging up at SDCC and conception art don't tell you how it'll really look on the actors - that does, and kinda ruins the surprise for me

[Ock]

[The Sage]

Wish they had concealed the zipper on the torso of Cap's uniform.

[TheVileOne]

Interestingly enough, the action figure for Avengers movie Cap at the Hasbro booth has the head on the new cowl with the ears exposed similar to the promo poster.

I guess that was one detail tweaked for the final model. I prefer the exposed years since it goes along more with Cap's iconic look, but I guess it is unconventional to into a battle and have a mask that doesn't offer your ears protection or cover them up.

[Atomicchuck3k]

[Alexei Belyakov]

The "5 seconds or so" from the trailer are actually 5 different shots of Thor from 2 different scenes. One's an interior scene in the Helicarrier where he's not fighting and the other an exterior scene where he's summoning thunderbolts, throwing Mjolnir and very much fighting.

He's sleeveless in both scenes.

Now, why do I think that will be the final look?

Because every piece of art and merch that we've gotten for The Avengers so far has Hemsworth looking innacurate, not just because he's wearing chainmail (group shot, poster, action figure) but because his hair is now very long.

The long hair and lack of chainmail seems to have been a redesign that the merchandise department didn't get their hands on in time, leading them to release artwork and figures with an incorrect look for Thor.

Every other character's looks have been accurate so far (except for Black Widow's hair).

I'm very happy with the look, though I never thought they would attempt it onscreen.

I mean, he looked tough in the first film, but now, Jesus.

The hair and the biceps make him look truly mythical. You'd think that by reducing the costume he'd look less like a God, but its the other way around.

I'm sure people will come around once the trailer hits [officially].

i just want thor to wear his helmet or a new helmet, some helmet would be good. they could build in an earpiece for him as an excuse for him to wear it. instead of wearing an earpiece just make it built into his helmet so he has the look but also the ability to communicate with the team. all that being said this new look does look fine without a helmet, but i would appreciate some helmet in his sequel. i've been playing the thor game and seeing his helmet on him with the chainmail is awesome, makes me sad he was without for most of his movie.


the marvel pic, the one that makes up the big avengers banner, of the new captain america suit also has a zipper in it, it probably will stay in the film like that, you don't really notice it, at least i didn't in the poster.

[Hiraga]

Hey, here's on theory I had about Thor's sleeves. What if they're CGI this time around? It would allow for Thor to do a lot more this time around, without any real sleeves hindering him. Just a thought.

[misjuevos]

i think maybe they are gonna run some test on each of the new guys see what they can do. so thor will be doing some heavy lifting and flexing so it probably is easier to have no sleeves, and using cg for them might be a waste of resources. if they were gonna use cg for his sleeves they would probably make him wear greensleaves, pun intended, as a marker or little dots. it just seems like alot when it is much easier to just let the guns fly free.

[sgaana]

There's one shot of him in the trailer head-on. It goes by in a fraction of a second, though -- it's when they flash all of the Avengers up extremely quickly. When we get the HD version of the trailer, we'll get screencaps of it, I'm sure. (Soon, please.)

Both shots look like they're from the same fight, as I said before there will be numerous fihgts in the movie, and its been said that Thor is going to wear numerous suits. You cant go by what you saw in a 1 min trailer, if so than just by that you can say you dont need to see the movie because you already know what happens.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

In the trailer Thor's torso armor is different with no sleeves, and he only has his cape in one scene. Longer hair too. What I wonder is why Thor would need to change his armor at all... maybe just to be more comfortable on Earth?

[Jason20]

I think it has to do with Hemsworth being comfortable more than anything. I doubt that hes gonna be wearing a shirt and jeans in this and from what I understood the arms are really constricting. So them having him wearing multiple suits, one not having the chainmail on the arms is more so that he'd be comfortable in prob half the movie. The other half will more than likely be his warrior garb w/ chainmail

shouldn't the cap's jacket opening be on the other side? ..like, for example, in the ghost rider's jacket here:
http://www.denofgeek.com/siteimage/scale/800/600/72853.png
female clothing usually have the openings on the right side.. you can also tell by the buttons position whether a shirt is made for men or women.. right for men, left for women. so, is that a mistake? what do you think about it?

[Elayis]

Honestly?

I couldn't care less.

I do hate there there is a flap in the costume (I much prefer the First Avenger one), but I can live with it. I don't think it matters, though, what side it's on.

[Punitore]

ehe the flap is one of the few things i like in the new costume, makes it look a little like a military uniform.. but i like the ww2 uniform better myself.

[Kirmit]

I don't mind the flap, it's the zip that bothers me, they could've made it slightly over so it was in the white section and would be less evident.

[chris moore]

I'm not quite sure why the upper arm is only white half way round. Both the movie suits were white all the way round, so you would have thought they'd keep the same overall design, like Steve did in redesigning the USO suit but with better materials

[Ash Talon]

Maybe Thor being sleeveless for some of the movie has to do with him being stranded on Earth? Maybe he's brought to Earth by Loki or spends a tremendous amount of energy to circumvent the damaged Rainbow Bridge which leaves him cut off from some of his Asgardian power. Just a thought.

Also, the Hasbro guys at SDCC were saying that the Thor figure shown is one of Thor's outfits in the movie. The sleeveless is obviously one of his other looks.

I don't mind the red stripe down Thor's pantlegs. My major gripe with Thor's costume from his movie is his bottom half just looked like one black blob. It needed more color separation. Either scale leggings or something like this red stripe helps break it up, so I think this is a step in the right direction.

I love Cap's modern costume. It's a great design. I actually hope his comic costume follows the same kinda of modernization. Yeah, I know this is similar to the Ultimate Cap design. I'm talking about his 616 look which needs some upgrading.

I think that shot of Cage is reversed as you have it wrong: Men's shirts/jackets fasten (overlap) on the right hand side, Women's will usually fasten on the left.

Cap's top is correct.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Cap's new costume looks great, much better than the baggy WW2 suit with the giant shoulder pads.

:wow: you're right! ..so weird, when i saw that image of cap i had no doubt it had the zipper on the wrong side, then i chose the first image of ghost rider i saw as example ..and it was reversed :doh: case closed.

[misjuevos]

the WWII suit i didn't like. he looked more like a swat member than a guy in the 40's. his brown jacket and blue helmet was better. this new suit look very cool.

The zipper does look a bit awkward. It be better if the designers went with a pull over. Besides where the zipper is placed, it seems the chest piece is being held in place with velcro.

[sagemoveman]

Marvel recently unveiled the new updated Captain America costume. The update takes America’s Avenger out of the WWII era and into the modern day. A little more form fitting than the original suit, the character poster gives a preview of how actor Chris Evans looks in his gear (pictured below). Rumor has it that Marvel Studios thought the original Captain America outfit was not tight enough and therefore did not give quite the superhero feel they were looking for.

[steintym]

It only made sense that there was an updated uniform for modern times. I like what I have seen of it so far.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

What I find weird about the zipper on the abdomen is they couldn't have painted it red... or moved it half an inch so it would be on the white stripe?

[Elayis]

There's some new set photos that show off the costume. Not looking too good, but then, what costume does under hard lighting? I remember how I hated Cap's first costume when they snapped some shots of the stunt double during the motorcycle sequence, but now I actually think Cap's costume might be my favorite adaption of a super hero yet.

So, you can't really judge it until you see the film.

I thought Cap's costume looked great overall. It looks better without the helmet, which is ironic since so many complained that he often didn't wear one in the promo art for CA:TFA. However, I am sure that it will look fantastic in the film because the cinematography and camera work will make a huge difference, as you noted.

[Raiden]

What I find weird about the zipper on the abdomen is they couldn't have painted it red... or moved it half an inch so it would be on the white stripe?

I agree. While I like the costume, I think they could've used some creative engineering to move the white zipper to the white stripe or at least paint it it red. Right now upon close-up, it does seemed rather...awkward.

[TheVileOne]

I think the zipper placement is a bit awkward since yet it does clash with the red. It could be a little more subtle, but slim pickings really.

[steintym]

What I find weird about the zipper on the abdomen is they couldn't have painted it red... or moved it half an inch so it would be on the white stripe?

Completely agree - Why not move it over just an inch? Then it would blend with the white. If that doesn't work, to your point, why not color it red?

Although it looks a bit odd, I have a feeling it won't be noticed during action scenes.

[Dark Knight]

Sorry, but that new CA suit for the Avengers is terribly cheesy looking. They should have kept the one from the CA film.

[TheVileOne]

What is terribly cheesy about it?

[herolee10]

I personally enjoy the modern day look that they gave to CA.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the War World 2 one, but his shoulder pads were so...Puffy looking.lol There were many times where I thought it was just too baggy for him to be wearing it.

In any case, one of the things that I like about the new look is how they designed the gloves and the boots to be more military/combat friendly than just a simple pair of red colored rubber like gloves and boots.

[HUMANIMAL]

whats with the stripes on his upperlegs? are those zippers as well? seem a bit out of place, but i like the overall look of the new suit

[Whiskey Tango]

I'm really not feeling it right now but this stuff always looks better on film rather than broad daylight.

[steintym]

The only real problem I have with the new look is the helmet. Still not sure about that. Other than that, I love the look of the overall uniform.

[glorynation]

I love the new look of his costume

[Ryudoz]

They are indeed zippers. If they're trying for a militaristic look, giving the uniform as many pockets as it can hold is par for the course. Granted they won't really be functional. They do look a bit odd, but then again some people prefer the zipper look.

[Cosmic]

I like this suit for Cap. This is the color scheme that I originally wanted. This basic suit design closely resembles classic Cap, and shows that a more faithful costume would've worked just fine in the origin movie. I agree with Vile that more subtle zippers would make it look better. I'd prefer slightly raised, yet streamlined wings on his headgear. But overall, I like what they did with it.

[PowerPak]

There be some hate of this suit in the TDKR threads. :dry:

Then again, they thought the promo art we saw was 'terrible', so yeah.

I like the colors (the blue and red) but I'm not liking the silver bits on his shoulders or the zippers. I know it's nitpicky but it makes the whole thing look too busy imo. If they wanted to break up the blue they should have just made his upper arms white or light gray and disguised those zippers. The helmet is bugging me too. Overall I liked the WW2 outfit a lot more.

Also Chris looks like he lost a lot of bulk. It's not so bad from the front but in the shots from a side profile he looks way too thin.

[Dark Knight]

What is terribly cheesy about it?


It just looks like one of those suits you would see a guy walking around the DisneyWorld or DisneyLand parks who tries to entertain the kids. :word:

The texture is just lousy. It looks like a mix between what Evans wore in the
F4 films and The Flash suit from the TV series. What's up with all the zippers? The color of the blue is too dark and those rocket launching red boots seem more fitting for Iron Man or something? Lol

The suit from the Cap film was better than this cheesy looking crap IMO. Sorry.

Why do you like it?

[SterlingArcher]

I Think The New Suit Looks Great I Like Both WWII and The Avengers Costume I Guess Im not that nitpicky

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Yeah, some people get ridiculous. There is never going to be a PERFECT onscreen suit for everyone. All we need are costumes that are pretty good, and just about every movie succeeds in that regard.

[WormyT]

I have to say, I LOVE the WW2 Cap suit and I plan to get that nifty Hottoys doll. But the updated Avengers suit looks kinda dorky. Theres something weird about the head gear. I don't know if its just too smooth or something but it just kind of looks like a Roger Corman suit. Maybe they should have added more interesting texture/armor around the chest area. And perhaps made the helmet more like the WW2 one. That one worked great. I don't know, it just looks really funny to me. Maybe it needs more s.w.a.t/Soldier Straps? Just an opinion, but i remember the concept art of the new suit looked funny to me and now that I see the final one..it is.

For IronMan I hope they introduce a cool Hulk Busting megasuit.

[steintym]

The new suit is pretty awesome (although I do need to see more of the helmet). It's faithful to the comics, I think they nailed the colors, I actually like the look of the fabric, and it looks functional. I don't know ... works for me.

[marcvader]

The chin strap makes a huge difference with that helmet imo.

I agree, I think maybe a regular, leather chin strap might have looked a little better. I'll wait to see the him action before a final judgement, though. Otherwise, I really like it.

Yes yes, the Chin strap. Thats what looks so weird (to me) :funny:on this one. I knew something didn't look right.

Why do you like it?

It looks more elegant and streamlined. It isn't clunky and cumbersome. It looks more iconic. I like that the red and white stripes are actually stripes and not straps. I found the First Avenger costume too military and too utilitarian. I like that it has the primary colors.

The new helmet/cowl doesn't look like an ugly, dorky helmet. It's more like a cowl/mask. Slightly tweaked from the comics, it does have ear coverings which I guess I'm OK with. It at least keeps the wing deco. Doesn't have that stupid chin strap. I hate chin straps. He's Captain America, not Tom Brady.

Also it looks like Cap can move and fight in it. It looks more functional and practical for going into battle with (if superheroes actually existed) ;) .

[Whiskey Tango]

It just looks like one of those suits you would see a guy walking around the DisneyWorld or DisneyLand parks who tryies to entertain the kids. :word:

It's certainly not as snazzy as an all cgi suit. And everyone knows what a stellar hit that was. :awesome:

[TheVileOne]

I actually like the stripe deco on the shoulders a lot better than the Ultimates shoulder stars that were translated into First Avenger.

Also the material, whatever. What should it be? Blue rubber armor? Even Spider-Man still wore tights and it was fine.

[Dark Raven]

I think I would've preferred stars on his shoulders to those silver stripes. Also, I don't like how the blue is there just above his gloves. I would've preferred the white to come all the way down. And the ears showing would've been nice. Oh, and the star on the back. Other than that, it's a fantastic costume.

[TheVileOne]

Yeah I think the concept art worked a lot better with the more prominent wings and the exposed ears. But w'ever. I also would've liked more than just white trim as well but I'm more satisfied with how much they changed instead of redoing the First Avenger costume which I still hate.

I definitely plan on getting a Hot Toys version of Avengers movie Cap.

[marcvader]

He needs something to break up the blue dikhead look, either ears out or raised wings.

[Alchemyst]

I like the look of Cap's new costume, I think this and his costume from TFA are great. I really dont see what the problem is with the zippers on his legs and the silver strips on the shoulders.

[Dark Knight]

cause its a faithful Captain America costume? i mean seriously?


Oh okay. Well, you convinced me it's an awesome looking costume for Crap A-Hole. :doh:

[Alchemyst]

He needs something to break up the blue dikhead look, either ears out or raised wings.

c'mon people, Cap's helmet resembles male genitalia, Spider-Man's costume has darkened crotch, Batman & Robin's suit had nipples, what's the matter with you guys :huh:

[Whiskey Tango]

I think the actual material looks fine, especially in close up in those pics from Comic con.

I too would have preferred the stars on the shoulders, whether it was just white stars or white stars on a red field, I think the ultimate suits have had both.

Like I say, for the most part it looks good, just a few details that bug me. At least he isn't encased in rubber like the live action Die Fledermaus wannabe.

[Mercurius]

Oh okay. Well, you convinced me it's an awesome looking costume for Crap A-Hole. :doh:

I agree 100% that it is cheesy looking. I was very surprised to see it and to like it even less than the one he wears in the First Avenger.

[WormyT]

he needs something to break up the blue dikhead look, either ears out or raised wings.
rotflmfao

[Quasimod0]

needs a back star. but i love it anyway

[TheVileOne]

Yeah a back star and having the stripes fully go around the back would be better, but eh whatever. I like it fine. No dorky helmet and no chin straps = win.

[cryptic name]

I agree 100% that it is cheesy looking. I was very surprised to see it and to like it even less than the one he wears in the First Avenger.

I don't get it, for a year leading up to the Cap flick coming out you couldn't stop talking about how the movie's going to flop because of how different the costume was than the comic costume. Now he has one that nearly looks like it leapt from the comic page and you like it less?

[chris moore]

I must admit, I'm not entirely sure why the torso stripes don't go all the way around. Or why the white on the upper arms is just a kind of patch. But overall it does look pretty cool. I'm happy with it.

I am kind of amazed there haven't been any similar sightings of Hawkeye, or even any of the others whose costumes are by and by the same as their solo movies. Is the shooting in Cleveland really just with Cap? Cos that doesn't sound very team-like.

[Dark Raven]

I prefer for the white on Cap's sleeves to come all the way down to his gloves. I don't like the blue bit just above his gloves. It looks weird. Also I think the shape of his head would look better either with ears showing or with 3D wings. At the moment it looks like the end of a balloon or condom. His head looks a bit like a blue version of those sperm cells in Woody Allen's "Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask."

[TheVileOne]

LOL, seriously you guys are killing me here. Now we have phallic objects and sperm comparisons.

[Dark Raven]

The shape of Cap's head is not too far off from this:

http://p2.la-img.com/930/21665/7457330_5_l.jpg

[Tvar10]

Why is his hair black?

[Wade Garrett]

The shape of Cap's head, is the shape of a human head.

[Whiskey Tango]

The shape of Cap's head, is the shape of a penis head.

Fixed.:o

[Punisher_MAX]

some of the things that people are saying about the costume are borderline retarded.

[Wade Garrett]

i just got tangoed...

[steintym]

Fixed.:o

Ha Ha - That one got me

[Nightrunner]

Sorry, but that new CA suit for the Avengers is terribly cheesy looking. They should have kept the one from the CA film.
I think the Avengers one is so much better. It also helps that its less busy and a lot more form fitting. I agree. While I like the costume, I think they could've used some creative engineering to move the white zipper to the white stripe or at least paint it it red. Right now upon close-up, it does seemed rather...awkward.
It has to be intentional. They probably want it to look practical with a few seams and zippers and stuff.

[TheVileOne]

Well I mean, the mouth on Snake Eyes mask in the GI Joe movie was also intentional, doesn't mean it looked good ;) . Though this costume is 100 times better than Snake Eyes' awkward looking movie costume.

OK, Captain America's head for his movie costume is a penis head. Let us move on now.

[Captain Marvel]

Yeah, I agree that Cap's costume isn't as good as it could be. For one, it could really use the protruding wings on his head, otherwise he really does look like a penis. Second, it would've been nice if he had the white forearms like in the comics. You need that white to break up all the blue. Third, why couldn't the torso stripes go all the way around? Fourth, the white v's on his shoulders are unnecessary. If they're there to add more white to an already heavily blue costume, then they should've made the forearms white. Fifth, what's up with those ridiculously long zippers on his legs? What possible purpose do they serve? Get rid of them. Sixth, why does it seem like the costume has a dozen patches? Does it really need to feel as if it's got a dozen different overlapping layers?

It looks okay, but really, this costume could've been so much better.

[captainrogers]

I truly believe that if his forearms were white, the suit would look twice as good to me. I wish I had Maniping talents to display that. But y'know what?
I still dig this suit. I love the guy in it, and I really couldnt care less what suit he's wearing now, because the most important aspect has been nailed down, and that's getting STEVE ROGERS on film.

Hells yeah. :cap::up:

[storyteller]

I think a potential issue for some folks is that the new costume looks like a costume. Its not a military uniform that has some artistic liberties taken like the previous. Not crazy about the silver on the shoulders(seems so random) but I think the suit is pretty solid. I would have like to see the white star and red circle on the shoulders.

[Crimson King]

I think that would be ironic because that was the opposite situation to what the people who didn't like Captain America solo film costume. They seemed to want something that didn't resemble a soldier and just wanted an all out costume.

Thor needs a helmet and cap needs the back star.

[WarBlade]

Then they might as well form a line and start singing "Y.M.C.A."

Actually these pictures of Chris Evens make him look way better than his condom-head look. He should should shift to this unmasked image permanently IMO. :yay:

It would more even if he didn't have a back star, as long as he didn't have that blue stripe going down amongst the red and white stripes, and if his arms were white all the way round. In shots like these it almost looks like an all-blue jump suit.

[Bren]

I highly HIGHLY doubt we'll get any shots from behind. Yeah, it'd have been nice to have the star etc, but a non-issue to me.

[Dark Raven]

I highly HIGHLY doubt we'll get any shots from behind. Yeah, it'd have been nice to have the star etc, but a non-issue to me.

What, Cap is never going to turn his back throughout the whole movie? Of course we'll see him occasionally from behind.

Otherwise I highly HIGHLY doubt we'll see any shots of Cap from the side. :whatever:

[Elayis]

I highly HIGHLY doubt we'll get any shots from behind. Yeah, it'd have been nice to have the star etc, but a non-issue to me.

I feel the same way about the star as I do about Superman's cape shield: never really saw the point. In the case of the Cap, I see even less of one. I just didn't like the symmetry of it.

But, my Cap is the Ultimate one (at least the look, anyways), so that probably has something to do with it.

My main problem with this suit, though, is the lack of white. There are a couple "grey" stripes on the arms and abdomen, but other than that, he's basically in a blue jacket and pants. Nothing very original or special about his look (unlike Thor or Iron Man).

The SHIELD uniforms are likewise uninspired. Looks like something out of Star Trek.

[Bren]

Maybe we see a different costume: I see only a costume that seems to have leapt from a Comic-Con.

His boots are terrible (the base of them looks like sneakers), there are no raised wings on his cap, he has way too much blue and not enough white in the costume. Etc.

He is taking his cap all the time (as we see in the photos, it will repeat what happened to Spider-Man), and maybe this is so because the production knows it looks cheesy. His eyes do not look good through the cap, cause the design doesn't emphasize the brow, nor took care of not revealing too much of his face.

It looks bad, bland, and not straight out of the comics. And I never asked for something that would look straight out of the comics, but something that would adapt it proportionally and intelligently.

That's not the case for me.

Why don't just say he is Steve Rogers, if that's what matters? :huh:

Because Steve Rogers IS what matters.
He IS Steve Rogers.
STEVE ROGERS is CAP.
EVANS sucessfully nailed the role Rogers.
Its not like we got John Walker as Cap.
STEVE ROGERS is the heart and soul of Cap.
THE MAN makes the suit.
This is just the big screen cinematic version of the suit. But we are still getting the character from the comics on screen. Just with a different flourish on what is still unmistakably Caps suit.
What it sounds like you're trying to tell me, is that if we got an absolute spot on costume, it wouldn't have mattered who was in it? It could have just been:
Steve Rogers In Name Only?
Because then it would've truly just been:
Captain America In Name Only.

I still don't understand their decision with the sleeves ..... I agree 100% about the helmet. I was so gigged when we saw that first group drawing ... just wish it would've been more like it.

See, to me, the white DOES look better instead of the blue.
If I could make only one change to the movie suit, it would be the sleeves.
Still incredibly excited to see Cap in action against the 'Skree'/Shiar/Inhuman/Titans/Deviants/Chitauri/RomSpaceknight/whathaveyou.

I think he looks wonderful from the front. even the sleeves

How are you people judging set pics? When the proper lighting and shading is applied the suit will look a bit different.
