Chris Evans is set to star in the upcoming film Captain America: The First Avenger. Here’s what he had to say about the costume and shield.

“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!’ …

We’ve been testing a lot of shields. Last time I was in London they had six shields and I had to hold each one, see if I was comfortable with each one, see which one we all thought had the right look. 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!”

Sounds like he’s pretty excited to be the iconic character. This movie is really going to be hard to pull off without being cheezy, hope it works! Look for this movie in theaters July 22, 2011.

Chris Evans has been cast as Captain America in the upcoming film The First Avenger: Captain America.

Marvel Studios is moving toward a deal with Chris Evans to star in The First Avenger: Captain America, the Joe Johnston-directed film that had every hot young actor in town trying on the red white and blue uniform. This was a world class bake-off, though I heard that Channing Tatum and Garret Hedlund passed. Now it’s down to negotiating, where Marvel plays hard. They originally told reps of candidates who tested that the first movie would pay around $300,000 and any deal would come with nine options to play Captain America in future Marvel movies.

Seems like he’ll work, he’s certainly all-american looking. Nine possible films? That’s a lot of potential for Evans, hopefully for him he doesn’t get typecast as a superhero. Wait, maybe that’s already happened. In any case, the fact that they have picked somebody moves the movie forward in a big way. They better get cracking, it’s due in theaters on July 22nd, 2010.

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.

I know this is a big deal because it’s Tennessee Williams and everything, but I just don’t think this movie will be one I could sit through.
