Captain America's Costume - Page 4

Thanks I was hoping I could show everyone a captain america costume I made in photoshop but I guess I'll have to wait until I get 300 post.

What should Captain America's costume look like in the upcoming movie? Should it resemble his classic red, white and blue threads or be something more modern? Captain America has had a wide variety of costumes in his long and rich career, so what should his costume look like for his big screen debut?

Let the brainstorming begin!

xwolverine2 · 03-02-2009, 02:54 PM

has this movie even gotten any writers or crew on board yet?

Kokomo29 · 03-02-2009, 02:57 PM

I don't believe so. I believe that the only confirmed member of the crew is the director.

Kable24 · 03-02-2009, 03:00 PM

Just spotted this board. Now I am happy again since they got rid of my beloved Punisher board.

Since the movie is taking place in WW2 era, I would like to see his Ultimate version for WW2 and if he comes to the present then a combo of the Ultimate and classic with more of a lean to the classic.

Kokomo29 · 03-02-2009, 03:16 PM

I would really like to see something that is modern and militaristic, but definitely honors, respects and pays homage to Cap's "classic" look. His costume needs to be functional and be able to withstand the traumas of war.

Kable24 · 03-02-2009, 03:22 PM

Plus it has to be believable in a real world environment.

Chris B · 03-02-2009, 03:58 PM

616. With just a few small tweaks for the sake of practicability.

Close enough for me.

It's designed mostly to photograph well, so of course he hates this suit (he's especially not crazy about the wings), but it becomes his primary look in the eyes of the public. He wouldn't wear this one for long.

When he goes to war, he wears something more akin to his Ultimates gear, some of which he would personalize as he becomes more seasoned. He would wear this for the remainder of his movie, and be frozen in it, along with his round shield.
*(Gotta have the red boots on this one too.)

When he is revived and joins the Avengers, he is given something like his modern suit. It has all the latest infantry suit tech you'd expect Cap's suit to have, while incorporating the popular elements from his older PR suit.

Looks great!

I really really really like the Ultimate suit. I'm probably in the minority, though

Showtime · 03-02-2009, 04:59 PM

I would imagine they would show multiple versions of the suit just as Iron Man did.

[A] · 03-02-2009, 05:02 PM

no little wings, please

TheVileOne · 03-02-2009, 05:25 PM

Little wings = yes.

This isn't the Ultimate Captain America movie folks. This is THE Captain America movie.

tamron · 03-02-2009, 05:28 PM

I believe the 616 suit can be used without looking stupid, and should be used.

IMDB says Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, though who knows how legit or up to date that is.

Both guys were previously on both Narnia movies and also the Life and Death of Peter Sellers. The Sellers flick was a good little character piece, made for HBO biopic.

louiebling$ · 03-02-2009, 05:29 PM

The Wings are Iconic and Part of Cap.... the Wings are a must.

Man i love this pic...... its exactly why the suit needs to be 616.

TheVileOne · 03-02-2009, 05:41 PM

Taking the wings off is like taking the lightning bolts off the Flash mask.

jab1118 · 03-02-2009, 05:44 PM

I didn't used to be a fan of the wings but they have kind of grown on me. However I am now starting to think that the A on his forehead must go.

GNR · 03-02-2009, 06:02 PM

I'm all for a hybrid of the classic,current and Ultimate versions.Little bit of everything without looking silly.

1-I don't want his colors muted. He's the symbol of American patriotism & ideals. Plus I still haven't gotten the taste of Brandon Riuth's suit out of my mouth.
2-the "Ultimate" look works for me on some levels but not all.
3-Cap is defined by his costume, so we can't make it a non-costume for the sake of "realism".
