Captain America Crossover, Easter Eggs and Clues

Easter eggs and clues hinting at the upcoming Captain America movie scheduled in 2011 by Marvel have been sprinkled in the two last superhero movies:

In the movie Iron Man:

There was an Easter egg added by the production to tease us:

One may see an object with a familiar white star painted on, under Tony Stark's arm. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has confirmed what fans were thinking: it is indeed the famous shield of Captain America seen in Tony Stark's workshop.


In The Incredible Hulk:

General Ross mentions to Emil Blonsky that there was a World War II program that created a supersoldier serum. The general is obviously referring to Operation: Rebirth, which was seeking to develop a means of creating physically superior soldiers. And in the movie Dr. Josef Reinstein is indeed referenced as the inventor of the Super-Soldier serum: the blue liquid hold by Sam Sterns in the picture below.

Also, when Genral Bolt goes into a secret room to take the serum to transform Bronsky, one may see the logo 'Vita-Ray' on a refrigerated gas bottle , which is the second component, along with the Super-Soldier serum, of the original Captain America formula.

Besides those easter eggs and clues, there could be a real crossover scene showing Captain America in store with the upcoming DVD release of the Incredible Hulk:

"There's a point when Bruce Banner gives up on his quest for the cure and decides to kill himself. So he travels far North and reaches the Arctic Circle. You might have seen bits of it in some of the promos. The result was a very dark and strong scene, which Marvel, me and everyone else considered to be too hard to young audiences to take, so we've cut it. Having that said, when Bruce arrives at his destination he meets up with Captain America! At some point this week, we will make it available on the internet – but I cannot tell you where or when – and the material will definitely be on the DVD."

Director Louis Leterrier

Incredible Hulk DVD showing Captain America frozen in the ice: too bad they cut the scene showing Captain America! Shall wait to watch this scene then: Captain America is worth waiting a bit!

Update: we now have a screen capture from the Incredible Hulk DVD giving a glimpse of Captain America:

Hope to have a clip showing Captain America in the Arctic ice as soon as the DVD of the Incredible Hulk is released!

The First Avenger: Captain America Is A Reboot Movie!

Yeap! The Captain America movie scheduled in 2011 can indeed be considered as a reboot movie.

Actually, a low-budget Captain America movie, starring Matt Salinger as Steven Grant Rogers / Captain America, was released in 1990. But the film did not reach fans' expectations although it was rather entertaining:

Must admit that the Captain America interpreted by Matt Salinger was kind of starry eyed... If Marvel really wants the film to sell they should hire a director like Christophe Nolan or Louis Leterrier, they are both experts in movie reboot!

Captain America Movie in 2011

Captain America is one of the most famous superheroes from Marvel Comics. So a movie dedicated to the patriotic hero is but a long overdue!

Thanks to the recent success of Iron Man, Marvel has finally enough guts to undertake a new Captain America movie and is ready to provide with the cash required to make the film a blockbuster.

Nothing has really surfaced yet about the director and the cast. But scriptwriter Zak Penn who worked on the Incredible Hulk has been selected to write the screenplay of Captain America.

The movie, titled The 'First Avenger: Captain America', is slated a for a May 2011 release.

The plot:
"After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals." (source: IMDb)

Captain America will be a period piece set entirely during World War II. With Marvel scrutinizing the work done, the movie Captain America should be close to the comic book. So we may expect the presence of Captain America's greatest foe, Nazi leader the Red Skull, in the cast.

Impatient to see the first Avenger Captain America?
