CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER New Set Photos

By  | 

Yahoo! Movies has these latest set photos from next summer’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER.

Photographers in London caught the first shots of Chris Evans filming CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER. Evans has longer and much lighter blond hair than he usually sports, and he’s bulked up considerably to play the superhero. Also unusual are the fake feet he’s wearing so it looks like he’s barefoot without risking injury. Below are more shots of the star at work, plus a sneak peek at Captain America’s costume.

Here Evans is running down a London street — this is where fake feet come in handy. The movie takes place during World War II, which is why he’s flanked by classic cars from the ’40s

Cap is being chased by masked goons from HYDRA, the villainous organization commanded by the Red Skull, played in the movie by Hugo Weaving. The HYDRA logo can be seen on the side of their high-tech bikes.

This is the first actual photo of Captain America’s costume, but it’s a stunt double wearing it, not Evans. The suit is less streamlined and more utilitarian than how Cap is usually depicted in the comics, but he does have his classic shield slung over his back. He rides an American military motorcycle from the WWII era.

Evans is joined in this shot by British actress Hayley Atwell, who plays Captain America’s wartime love interest Peggy Carter.
