Marvel Studios executive Kevin Feige explains they chose to shoot the movie in Europe - causing Manchester and Liverpool to double for 1940s New York City - because that's where the majority of the movie takes place anyway, once the action shifts to World War II. He also discussed the look of the Red Skull, as played by Hugo Weaving:

Hugo Weaving has been in the Red Skull effect, in costume for a couple of weeks now and it's a hell of a lot of fun. We gave people a little taste in San Diego about what his character will look like but now that we've started to work with the actual skull it's going to be a lot of fun and a rather frightening villain.

A new crop of gloriously patriotic pictures have emerged from Captain America: The First Avenger set showing Steve Rogers, his enemies, and a lot of sexy-time period whips.

Marvel Studios/Paramount Pictures have released two cool ass Comic-Con posters, a Captain America: The First Avenger poster and a Thor poster as well.

These posters come out a day before the big event in San Diego kicks in to gear for the big weekend.

Well, it has to be better than the two made-for-tv movies of the 1970s as well as the movie that came out in 1990. Although this will be the 3rd movie to hit the silver screen. Anyways, two more pictures:

If you haven't spotted it yet, one of the signs adjacent to "Vernon Photos" is the "Excelsior Cigar Shop". And as many of you die-hard fans know, Stan Lee (Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and the X-Men.) is known for his catchphrase, "Excelsior!", which he used at the end of every "Bullpen Bulletins" column for the comic publisher.

Stan explained a while ago in uncertainty, the lack of time in his busy schedule to join the Captain America crew in England. And seemed sure that parts of filming would take place in the US, where he'll get the chance to shoot his cameo. So the shop sign could simply be a reference to the legend.

Anyhow, the big-budget adaption of Captain America: The First Avenger, which actor Dominic Cooper(Howard Stark) tells ET Canada he could get use to, in theaters July 22, next year.

Last week I joined a select group of reporters and blogger-type folks on a secret mission: visit the "Captain America: The First Avenger" movie set in England. To say it was an amazing experience would be an understatement.

I swore an oath on Cap's shield that I wouldn't reveal too much about my visit too soon, so I beg you merry Marvelites to take my tantalizing teases about all the thrilling things I saw and experienced in stride--all will be revealed in time!

Some choice tidbits from my visit to the Cap set:

* I ate lunch with Hydra soldiers.

* I learned who and what has influenced star Chris Evans in his portrayal of Steve Rogers aka Captain America in the film.

* I talked with Hugo Weaving who plays Red Skull/Johann Shmidt in the film while he was in full Red Skull makeup--AND IT WAS AWESOME!

* I watched director Joe Johnston film a scene, experiencing the magic of the movies up close. All I can say is "wow."

* I had my mind blown several times by visiting the art department, the costume department and the prosthetics workshop as well as seeing many of the props in the movie.

* I posed with one of the actual Captain America shields used in the film--as you can see in the photo above.

SpiderMedia have gotten their hands on more details about the easter eggs hidden within the special features on the Iron Man 2 DVD and blu-ray which will be released in the US on September 28th and in the UK on October 25th.

Apparently, the Red Skull is interested in finding the Terrasect. Little is known about this mysterious object although it appears that Howard Stark has notes on the object in his diary.

A prototype of Captain America's shield is shown and referred to as a "Defense Armament Prototype for possible Infantry deployment".

Courtesy of the Captain America/Manchester Filming Blog, new set images for the Captain America movie reveals the first look at actress Hayley Atwell in character as Peggy Carter, the potential love interest of Steve Rogers, Chris Evans.

The Daily Mail have been allowed on the set of Captain America to get some great quality photos of the authentic looking WWII set including a look at the aftermath of the explosion we saw being filmed earlier today! Most intriguing though is the fact that they mention: "Tommy Lee Jones, Dominic Cooper and Samuel L Jackson are 'oop north' on location for the blockbuster." If this set is indeed where "Project: Rebirth" is taking place, it would certainly make sense that those three actors would be there!

Here?s your idle question of the day: are these pics of a sub from the set of Captain America: The First Avenger depicting a bit of tech that will be in use by the good guys, or is it a deadly device created by Hydra? Based on the design, I?d guess the latter. (It looks rather like the Hydra motorcycles we saw in photos a few weeks back.)

The Liverpool Post has the images, but only tells that they were snapped at a dock dressed out to look like it is located in 1940s New York.

Oooh Rappy - don't rile the beast!! It's The Liverpool DAILY Post and the only reason I mention it is because the wife works as a sub there! Funnily enough she was going to for one of the extra parts but they were filming for the last 2 weeks and we've been on holiday in Cornwall. Typical innit? You wait for ages for something cool like this to happen and when it does you're at the other end of the country!! :D

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
