First Avenger Is this the same costume or 2 different costumes?

[Infinity9999x]

Yes, subtle changes would make sense if S.H.I.E.L.D. goes in with a 'if it aint broke' sensibility to the costume that [presumably] is in disrepair when Steve is found. They've just updated the materials and made minor changes, which is pretty much common sense.

Here's a better [if crude] side by side comparison of various aspects:-



As I said, subtle differences but differences all the same. Stylistic differences that suggest a more modern aesthetric, for a more contemporary costume.



What Wobbly said.

I disagree. The differences are too small for it to be two costumes. Yes, your pictures posted above show differences, but they're tiny changes. We need to keep a few things in mind here.

1.) The first concept art was just that, a concept. Concept art changes, and it's very possible the first picture was more about getting the right design down, and they didn't bother as much with trying to render the fabric to look 1940's appropriate (which is the biggest difference between the two suits).

2.) Think of this from a studio standpoint. They're not going to want two suits that look that similar. More suit designs=more marketing/toy/poster money. The more suits and more designs, the better it works out for them.

Sound logic. I am in agreement with you, Infinity.

I sincerely hope that the first concept art is not used in the movie and the suit in the second art is, because if the suit in the first concept art is the modern day suit I will not be pleased. It's a horrible translation of Captain America's suit from the CURRENT comics or even the Ultimate Comics to me. Not enough red either.

I disagree. Just on the toy/licensing thing alone. We've seen pictures posted of the official Cap action figure and he looks exactly like the first drawing with the odd looking boots and strappy/pouched gloves etc.. This looks to me to be an official costume.

Plus... if one is the WWII costume... why would the have Cap stray too far from that look. Cap's look is supposed to be iconic...so radical changes wouldn't make sense.

The first pic looks purely WWII. I mean, look at it. That's what he'll wear in the first movie because it will be set in WWII. I think they'll change it when he's in the modern day. I don't know if it will be the concept art we've all seen though.

Will the modern costume have wings?

 

[Anubis]

I f**king hope so but I doubt it.

well we already know there is at least 2 or 3 costumes in the film. The uso suit, a secondary suit, and a possible 3rd and final suit. i cant wait to see how they all ultimately turn out. The concept artwork/ and that poster from comic con all look good and i really cant wait to see how the suits look on screen and on evans.
