Some new promo art for the Captain America costume has surfaced, and it reveals that the costume does indeed pay homage to the tiny wings that are found on the mask of the comic book version of the character. These wings aren't actually real wings stuck on either side, but rather painted onto the sides of the mask. It's thought that this particular promo art might reflect the Captain America costume that the character wears in the present day, which means it might be his main costume for The Avengers. That, however, is just guesswork, and in fact those same wings were spotted on a stunt-man's mask during filming a few months back, so this may well be pretty close to the World War II version of his outfit.

Thanks to ToilesHeroiques on the SuperHeroHype forums, who revealed those details from French magazine "L'Ecran Fantastique" yesterday, for the further details revealed below. Remember, read no further if you don't want to see any spoilers!

***SPOILERS***

Steve and his friends continue the fight in the plant [to release Bucky], and this is when the film that we discover who is really Johann Schmidt: under a plastic mask imitating the flesh lies the facies Red Skull.

The armament and machinery will be important. Red Skull uses the cube to power these machines (huge tank, bomber).

There will be a quick montage with several missions of Captain America: for example the sabotage of a train of Hydra. Cap and his crew rappel down a mountain and atterrisent on the roof of the train.

In his show music hall (at Radio City Music Hall in New York), Rogers ended his show by hitting an actor dressed as Hitler (like on the cover of Captain America 1).

Further details: Steve Rogers is a mascot used by the military to sell war bonds (fund effort of war).

Massive Spoilers from the film!

Past and Future: 90% of the film takes place during the period 1939-1945, but the beginning and end of the feature film takes place today ...

The first scene of the film: As an introduction, so today, we see an exploration team discovered the remains of a giant bomber, under the snows of the Arctic. Flashback (true beginning of the film): attack on a village in Norway (Hansberg) by troops from Hydra. Johann Scmidt is present (Skull): a passion for Nordic mythology, it looks for an object, the cube [cosmic course! Undoubtedly, this scene will continue with the excerpt aired at Comic Con: the discovery of the cube in a castle on Earth Asgardian ...].

The character of the[Red] Skull: former Nazi party member, he left to found the Hydra. The vehicle of the wicked will be most impressive is the "cut" is a car nine feet long, shielded and armed ... Its secret base is located in the Alps, and he worked on controlling the energy of the cube. The object is able to open a portal to "other dimensions of space-time [?]. His face "human" is just a mask hiding his true appearance: Red Skull.

Before Captain Steve Rogers: A young man puny victim of mockery by thugs in Brooklyn. The body of actor Chris Evans will be digitally processed to give it that. Steve is already friends with Bucky Barnes [his sidekick, future Winter Soldier]. Unlike Steve, he was accepted into the army and he was preparing to leave.

The return of Stark: The two friends visit an exhibition in New York, "The world of tomorrow." Among the exhibitors? Howard Stark (Tony's father)! There has anti-gravity boots ... Furthermore, it has a fraction of the energy of the cube. It is he who will create the shield of Cap.

The debut of Captain America: After its transformation [all this, we already know: experience in a laboratory hidden in an antique shop, the projesseur Erskine, his murder shortly after the operation by a Nazi spy, his flight submarine], Steve Rogers is used as a mascot, cinema, theater, performing in a music hall! He became a celebrity and down to earth once sent to Europe, where he learns that Bucky was captured in a weapons factory in the Hydra. During this first mission, he frees a group that will become the Invaders [there must be an error, the Invaders are a group of superheroes helping the Cape, but absent from the film. Probably an inversion with the real name of this group: the Howling Commandos).

The final scene [?]: The purpose of the Skull is to build a huge bomber, containing planes carrying bombs, which are destined for London and U.S. cities ... There will be a great battle between the Red Skull and Captain America in the plane [and if the photo of the magazine empire was after this scene?], Which eventually crashed in the Arctic.

Captain America 2: Heinrichs evokes the possibility [that is his personal opinion, nothing official] a film blending the past and the present [as the current Ed Brubaker stories]. Especially at a time of the interview, he speaks of the Hydra as an organization still in existence, as Nick Fury fighting [he is well aware !].

The first shot of the Cosmic Cube from this summer's Captain America: The First Avenger is now online, courtesy of SFX Magazine and our very own SHH! Boards poster Dr. Lee, who scanned the image as it appears below.

The cube is a mystical device in the Marvel Universe, capable of ultimate power and transforming wishes into reality. While we're guaranteed to see the cube appear on the big screen come the July 22nd release, there has been some speculation that the cube may make an appearance even earlier as one of the items in Odin's vault in Thor.

After yesterday's sneak peek at the Cosmic Cube, here's a first look at Captain America's perpetually blushing foe the Red Skull. This is already an improvement on his "mutated beet-man" look from the 1990 Captain America movie. [CBM]

the costume looks great, admit it rappy. i cannot wait for thor, this and the avengers!

Are u serious? I was hoping to see a custom similar to Spiderman, attached to the body. But the one above looks like a custom for a halloween party :laugh:

some of you just bash this movie because chris is captain. :sleep:

every comment i see loves what they see soo far. i personally think the new spidey suit looks horrid. too rubbery.

the costume looks great, admit it rappy. i cannot wait for thor, this and the avengers!

I want to admit it I really do BUT it still looks corny and camp I will hold off the proper thought until a trailer which will be around Superbowl!

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
