Cine Mercado has debuted these three cheap-looking international character posters for the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger, a film I’m told will be presented in post-converted 3D even though not even the official site makes mention of it.
The obviously most interesting poster of the bunch is the one above of Hugo Weaving as the film’s villain Red Skull and below are posters of Chris Evans as the title character followed by Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter. Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters on July 22.
Born 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.
