Filming for "Captain America: The First Avenger" is underway in England, so it was only a matter of time before more photos from the set began to hit the 'net.
Previously, we got a look at some USO-style set pieces, including a tank, medical tent, and a big ol' stage. This time around, we jump straight to the real goods: Captain America in costume and in action, and a shot of some suped-up motorcycles ridden by black-suited henchmen (HYDRA?).
Posted over at The Daily Mail, the six photos don't show "Captain America" lead actor Chris Evans in the familiar red, white, and blue costume, but they do show his stunt double in the star-spangled suit (with shield), both on and off a US Army motorcycle.
I've posted two of the most interesting images here, but here are some of the elements worth noting about the pics:
- It looks like Cap's fans were heard when it comes to the wings on the side of his helmet.
- The presence of a holster on Captain America's uniform and the rifle strapped to the motorcycle would seem to indicate that Cap is back to his gun-slinging roots for this 1940s origin story.
- Cap's shield seems to have taken a few shots. I can't help wondering how this shield relates to the one seen in Tony Stark's office in "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2."
- And is that a Red Skull patch on those black-suited motorcyclists' sleeves? Also, the symbol on the side of the bikes looks an awful lot like the HYDRA emblem.
