Chris Evans Talks About The Captain America Costume

Chris Evans who will be playing Steve Rogers/Captain America in Marvel's upcoming "Captain America: The First Avenger" movie sat down and talked with the folks at Empire Magazine about the costume he will be wearing for the movie.

"It’s an amazing costume. Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it’s tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top – and given the fact that the movie takes place in the ‘40s and ‘50s – they’ve done a really good job of making it look really cool."

"I think everyone that’s going to see it is going to say, 'Okay, well done. Well done. I think they got the costume right. The casting they completely ruined, but the costume they nailed!'"

When it comes to Cap's famous shield Chris said that they had been testing a lot of shields to find the one that feels best for him. "The thing is pretty heavy, so I’m not sure I can throw it that far! I’ll give it my best shot, but hopefully they’ll have some sort of stunt shield when it comes to actually chucking it!”

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce "Captain America: The First Avenger." Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, Nigel Gostelow and Louis D'Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the U.S. on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
