It's not going to be 'Captain America and friends', Cap simply has the most unique and naturally engaging POV as a narrative anchorage point, with him both coming to terms with being displaced from time, having lost all his loved ones, and now trying to prove himself as a leader. Also his relationship with Tony is probably one of the most important things for them to establish in the first film. For later films, they can and I fully expect them to focus on other characters a little more (like the X-Men films kinda did in X2 with Ice-Man and Rogue and Storm and Nightcrawler, and should have with Cyclops).

I would say each character needs to have a certain narrative outcome from this movie. Cap needs to become the leader and adjust to this time, Tony needs to learn to work with others and learn humility (which has been a slow progress for him so far) Banner I think simply needs to stop running and come to terms with himself, maybe accept the Hulk and for Thor I would say whatever resolution can come of the Loki situation but also this movie should cement Thor's commitment and dedication towards Midgard. I don't mind if they kind of leave things hanging with Thor though, because from a character point of view, that could definitely be more interesting for Thor 2, if the movie starts with him in a character transition point or something. I would love to see Thor 2 involving some Thor/Odin conflict over his love of Midgard so if they set that up I'd be thrilled.

But regarding Cap, I think out of all the solo films, Cap's is the one with the most heartbreaking ending and it's hard to to watch that ending without desperately WANTING to know what happens next with him. Focussing on his story is perfectly natural.

Well said.

These guys are the reason for the missing trailer

 

[Godzilla2000]

You know, I've deduced the reason that we're not getting a trailer so soon after the previous one is that we have so much more time to go before this movie opens, even longer if you're a poor sap, like me, that lives in the United States.

It's an agonizing wait

On a brighter note (for me anyway), the UK cinema I work in just had the character banners of the Avengers delivered in yesterday. I'm telling my managers how important it is to put these badboys up as soon as possible, if only for my own enjoyment of course t:

 

[Liam_H]

So happy that all this marketing focus on RDJ is just that. Gives me greater hope Rogers will become their leader by the end of the film at least.

 

[Quasimod0]

Well somebody has to shout Avengers assemble

 

[HULKFish]

I love Avengers Assemble, but it would be pretty tough to make it work in a movie... We'll see though. What an epic movie this should be!

Nice one.

one hell of a party...lol

The more i see of the suit for Avengers, the more i kinda like it.

 

[sabetoonth]

I think the books look a little funny but it is startin to grow on me too

 

[Iron_Stark]

This better not become Captain America and his Avenging Friends.

 

[The Morningstar]

His right boot looks like it's come undone.

 

[CaptainCraig]

This better not become Captain America and his Avenging Friends.

*SIGH*
Even the comic books focus on one or two characters at a time as it connects to the foe(s). I swear some people just want to Fitch.
They shifted from Iron Man and Pals to this.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

That looks freaking amazing...

Double post, moron. God I hate you.

 

[Iron_Stark]

That Cap pic looks pretty nice.

 

[Donut]

It would be nice to see more of the other characters lol. Whats next a Poster / Trailer / TV Spot with just Steve & Thor ?

 

[BigThor]

Trust me it won't, this film won't even have a "main character" so to speak.

"Whedon also said that just because its told from the perspective of Captain America, don't expect him to be the main character. Going on to say all the characters have an equal share in the movie, and that they will have to work together to solve the problem at hand."

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

OOOh Dat Cap!

 

[Compi716]

I love how the boots sort of have that "pirate boot" shape. Great nod to the comics.

 

[BigThor]

This is one of my favorite Cap pictures yet, I've never really a problem with his costume either.

 

[samsnee]

I love it. First, everyone was worried it would be Iron Man and the Avengers. Now they're worried it's Captain America and the Avengers. You guys are going to be really disappointed when Whedon edits it to be Black Widow and the Avengers.

Anyway, Cap suit looks good when its' been through a little wear and tear. I think that's true for most of these looks. Even Hulk -- if he's too green and clean, it looks fake. But dirty him up, and he blends in more seamlessly with the real stuff.
