13 New CAPTAIN AMERICA Stills

Well Marvel movie-maniacs, are you eager for another superhero cinema outing after this weekend’s somewhat disappointing trek through the DC Universe ( sorry GL fans)? Hope these pics will get you stoked for the arrival ( in less than five weeks! ) of our favorite star-spangled sentinel of liberty, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER. Up at the top is a nice close-up of  Hugo Weaving  as Cap’s nemisis, The Red Skull. Below us is Chris Evans as the pre-Operation Rebirth Steve Rogers wishing he could join the fight against the Axis forces at the start of America’s involvement  in World War II. All photos come courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

Speaking of Operation Rebirth, here’s a photo of Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark ( Tony’s father ) , one of the scientists assisting Dr. Erskine.

Down below it looks to be a pre-Skull Johann Schmidt played by Hugo Weaving.

Taking aim below is  James ” Bucky ” Barnes played by Sebastian Stan. Is he a full member of the Howling Commandos?

And below here is Arnim Zola as played by Toby Jones. Looks like he’s sporting a Hydra pin on his jacket. Now doubt he’s working closely with the Red Skull.

Here below is the brilliant mind behind the Super Soldier formula, Dr. Abraham Erskine as played by Stanley Tucci.

Looks like Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans ) is going to be turned away from another recruiting office in this still below.

Looks like Captain America is on a mission with the Howlers. Dum Dum Dugan ( Neil McDonough ) is the point man.

I hope their safety goggles on on. Operation Rebirth looks to be in it’s final stages.

Behold the hordes of Hydra! Cap and the Howlers are gonna’ have their hands full!

Speaking of Cap, here’s our hero looking ready for action!

And here’s another shot of the Red Skull, this time showing off his Hydra uniform.

Hmmm, now how many days ( and hours ) in five weeks?  Face front, true believers!

Synopsis:

Captain America: The First Avenger will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.  As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving.)
