It looks like Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) has taken the lyrics to Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” a bit seriously as four new clips from Captain America: The First Avenger have arrived featuring Chris Evans as the titular character jumping on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers, coming out of the steroid chamber, picking his shield and then using it to full effect.
Captain America: The First Avenger will hope to dethrone Harry Potter at next weekend’s box-office, but until then why not check out four clips from the film and get a taste of what it’s cooking.
I have added all four clips in what I assume to be the film’s chronological order so they make at least some sort of sense when viewed back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
orn during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment… Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the ‘Super-Soldier Serum’ and bombarded by ‘vita-rays.’ Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and leader of the Avengers.
