It doesn't seem good. I'd give it the benefit of the doubt until I see it, if I had any faith left in the franchise. I don't though

So if go by X-Men movie continuity, between First Class and X-Men the members have all aged maybe 5/10 years, except Pro. X who'll have aged 30.

Almost guarantee First Class will shit on continuity. Not saying it'll be good or bad, but they take liberties like a mother fucker.

Wonder who'll play young Magneto. And based on what they pulled in X3, there's no reason to think they couldn't have Patrick and Ian back. Ugh.

I agree with Kalyx that they will probably shit on the continuity.
It does make me question if they will have two different timelines going then. Will Wolverine Origins keep going its own way or will it "merge" with the First Class?

Josh Holloway may have a role in Avengers, as who nobody knows. Holloway's been a popular fan casting for Gambit, but it looks like he'll enter the Marvel universe as another player. Hawkeye?

Some guy seen Cap's costume in First Avenger:

Quote:

...While I can't pass along anything here, I can describe to you what I saw.

Captain America will have two different costumes in the film, according to Johnston. He told the LA Times that he'll have a costume designed by the Army for his initial USO appearances that's slightly more flashy and a nod to the original design. As he gets called into active duty though, Steve Rogers (who hated the original suit design), creates a new costume that's more battle-ready. This second costume is the one I saw and will the primary costume for the film.

The first thing I noticed is that the trademark wings that flank the side of Cap's hood are gone. In fact the "hood" is gone entirely. In its place is a more traditional M1 Army helmet though this helmet does come over the eyes to give Cap a traditional "domino mask" look. Still present is the white "A" in the middle of the hat (nothing fancy, this is the traditional font), though like the rest of the costume, the blue of the helmet is much more muted than the blue in the comic costume. A thick black strap comes down over the ears and connects under the chin.

Cap is wearing a blue neck piece but from what I saw, it's hard to tell if this is connected to something under the helmet or whether it's something like a turtleneck (I'm gonna guess the latter).

On his chest still lies the white star though it's not as prominent as the comic version. The costume is still split horizontally through the middle with blue on top and red and white stripes on the bottom. But instead of stripes, it's actually just a white base with two red utility straps acting as stripes. (Exactly what I would have done) These straps affix to a metal loop at the midpoint of the chest and a black strap extends up to the shoulders from that point.

His shoulders have pads over them that extend down to about mid-bicep and are attached via a brown strap under the arm. The sleeves (for lack of a better word) are white with a fairly standard brown glove.

The fabric of the costume doesn't look like the scaled material of SPIDER-MAN but more of a leather fabric, like something you'd see on one of the X-MEN. Cap wears an old school utility belt, the likes of which we haven't seen much in modern superhero movies. Utility belts were a staple of comic superheroes but haven't made the transition but here Cap sports a rather thick belt made up of brown pockets with a silver buckle. (It actually looks something like the belt on this Captain America toy.)

As you might expect, there's no codpiece to be found and Cap is wearing blue pants tucked into brown utility boots. The pants aren't skin tight but they aren't baggy either. And for those who are curious, the pants actually have a fly so Cap can take a leak if he needs to.

The suit actually has a practical WWII military look to it with some of the obvious Captain America flourishes that we would expect. It's hard to really pass judgment on a costume until you see it properly lit, in motion and doing what it's meant to do. But based on what I saw, I'm pretty impressed with how they were able to adapt the costume for the film.

As for the shield, it actually hews very closely to the classic design of red/white/red rings with the white star in a blue circle at the middle.

Exclusive Captain America pictures from the up coming movie.

SPOILER: show

Sounds like they've taken influence from the depictions of Cap's costume from the WW2 sequences of The Ultimates, which can only be a good thing.

Of course his shield shouldn't be round to start with if the film's set in WW2, but surely only petty fanboys will complain about that. Right? :shifty:

That is what it sounds like to me too.
No complaints from me..I love that costume.

Still wish they slipped us a silhouette of him during the D-Day scene in Origins Wolverine.

That would have been gay.

Sawyer in Avengers? This keeps getting better

Read recently (feel like it may even have been posted much earlier in this thread) that Jeremy Renner might be already signed to play Hawkeye.

Sawyer to play Ant-Man.

(Miles to play The Wasp)

How any of you can already write off the new X Men film when it has only just been mentioned is laughable.
You all got insider knowledge that no one else knows about?
Didn't you see the director with the good track record?

This looks cool, but I won't get too excited. Since the 90's X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons, no Marvel cartoon series seems to last more than a couple of years (dunno how long X-Men Evolution lasted, but whatever).

NOt to sure bout the Wasp design but hey...could last.

so cap gets fourth billing after iron man, giant-man and wasp?

suck out my farts, marvel

That Avengers cartoon totally snuffed Cap. Sign of things to come?

A lot of comments I read that claiming that it's loosely based on the film, in which Iron Man will be leading. :nono:

Well considering that there hasn't been a GOOD X-men movie since the first, is it really that much of a stretch to expect this one to completely suck as well?

You didn't like X2? Welcome to a small minority.

Unlikely, this cartoon was in production for a long time, way before any movie outline was around. The movie would be based on the cartoon if Iron Man ends up leading.

80% legit. And if it's just a work based on the recent textual descriptions it's a) a damn fast, high quality render and b) something they should use regardless because it's badass. However, I have a gut feeling that this is in fact the Cap's costume.

It is, however, rather 'advanced' in a way - which raised suspicions as to which movies it's supposed to be for (a certain team-up maybe).

OR it could be some cool random fanart, what do I know.

My picutre was legitter. It actually happened.

Given the shield, the chest emblem, and just about everything else he's wearing, I don't think it would be so ridiculous to include the wing emblems on the sides of the helmet.
I don't care enough to bitch about it, but to act like that's unrealistic and doesn't fit compared to everything else is pretty ridiculous

Saw it on Kotaku. The pants look a little silly, the rest of it's fine. Do sorta want the wings back, though... helmet looks a little empty.

Perhaps white wing symbols where they would be traditionally, not actual wings.

That costume looks fucking badass!

Cannot wait to see what it'll look like in the actual movie.

The "Leaks" Don't End With Cap:

With the render style being similar to Cap's pics, I'd reckon that this is Marvel feeling transparent about their next two big heroes coming to screen. The design of the hammer reveals that the one seen in Iron Man is the same (I thought that they were allowed to use an early prop). Looks good, and we can imagine better how these heroes will look together. There seems to be a stylish aesthetic between Cap and Thor, maybe to have them mesh with Iron Man better. Overall I'd say Cap had a better transition than Thor, but they both look good.

Not a huge fan of Thor's look there, if that is indeed legit. He looks a bit plain. In fact, he looks a bit like Magneto from the first X-Men film, aside from the head and hammer.
I would assume there will be another costume for his medieval armor? I would hope so, since that getup looks modern as hell.

X2 was alright I guess. The 3rd and 4th films were just so bad that I guess it taint's my opinion a bit.

I like Thor's look. It's kind of a cross between his recent outfit, and his ultimate look. They definitely look like they are being designed to mesh well, into iron man's semi-realistic universe, which is good.

Also, Jeritron, throughout most of Thor's history, a lot of asgardian technology and costumes have looked very high tech, and almost alien, with a bit of viking flair. So it's not really far off from the source material.

Cap's shield and Thor's hammer are gonna go big in merch, though I don't think they'll hit Hulk hand levels. Where's those Iron Man Repulsar gloves at?

No headgear of any kind for Thor?
