Captain America Sequel Set For April 2014 Release DateFor years now Marvel Studios has been dominating the summer movie season, whether kicking things off with Iron Man and Thor's early May release dates or letting loose Captain America in late July.

The 10 Best Movie Music Moments Of 2011Much like 2010, this year was packed with not only amazing soundtracks, but also movies that knew how to use songs to perfect effect. From the synth sounds in Drive to the insanely happy tunes in The Muppets, this year in music moments made audiences feel unending joy and devastating sadness, but it all made for great times at the cinema....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-23 17:08:35comments
Captain America Blu-Ray Trailer Goes Behind The Scenes Of The AvengersThe road to The Avengers is all but 100% complete.

Check Out The Captain America Blu-Ray Trailer And What You'll Get With The October ReleaseBecause of Captain America’s 3D success, the Paramount/Marvel co-production will be available in a 3D Limited Edition combo pack (Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy), which will sport the same extras as the regular Blu-Ray. Boy, is the Blu-Ray the best way to go with this release. DVD copies will come with commentary as its only bonus feature and 3D copies will cost an arm and a leg, meaning over fifty bucks. ...by Jessica Grabert | published: 2011-09-21 10:27:28comments
Teaser For The Avengers Teaser Trailer Released OnlineComic book fans are already fully aware of how the origin story of Captain America ends, but for those not familiar with the character the ending of The First Avenger was quite fresh. It's for that reason that Yahoo!'s decision to post the final scene of the film online only one week after the film's release is quite bizarre, but it also provides us with our first HD, official look at The Avengers, so who the hell cares?...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-28 18:59:29comments
Exclusive Interview: Captain America Writers Christopher Markus And Stephen McFeelyEven before casting was announced or a director was chosen, there was audible questioning as to how one would bring the Marvel character Captain America to the big screen. From the character’s goofy origins as a propaganda figure during World War II to selling the patriotism internationally, there were more than a few roadblocks....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-26 16:55:12comments
Weekend Box Office: First Avenger Takes First PlaceHero power topped Harry Potter this weekend. Captain America: The First Avenger made a solid debut at number with $65 million. While that's a respectable opening, it's nothing to get excited about. According to rankings it's only the 48th largest opening for a comic book adapted film. Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 slipped a hefty 70% from its record breaking opening weekend (most movies drop 50% - 60%). That sort of rapid drop off is a common trend for Potter flicks, but no other entry in the franchise has ever come this far this fast. ...by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-07-24 18:34:14comments
4 Reasons Captain America Is The Marvel Movie You've Been Waiting ForInstead of mailing in a half-hearted origin story that felt like a placeholder for a future adventure, Joe Johnston went ahead and turned his Captain America film into a rousing period thriller that expands on the Marvel mythology while also working as a standalone summer blockbuster....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-07-21 21:39:47comments
To 3D Or Not To 3D: Choose The Right Captain America TicketWhen you see Captain America: The First Avenger this weekend the biggest decision you’ll face at the box office isn’t when to see it, but how to see it.

9 Things You Need To Know About The Marvel Universe Before Seeing Captain AmericaIn 2008, Marvel Studios embarked on an incredibly ambitious project. Starting with Iron Man, the company began releasing a series of superhero movies based on their own properties that would eventually be tied together in the team-up movie The Avengers in 2012. The drawback, however, is that not everyone in the world is as obsessed with the characters as their key fanbase and while the films do cater to a wide audience......by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-19 00:23:10comments
Exclusive Interview: Captain America's Sebastian StanWhen Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941, he was given a sidekick named Bucky Barnes. Much like Robin in the Batman comics, Bucky was a way for younger members of the comic-book reading audience (which is to say most of it) to see themselves in the storyline. This approach, however, would never fly in the 21st century, where fans have used their wallets to demand darker plots and characters instead of campy goofiness....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-18 16:42:33comments
Captain America Writers Talk About The Sequel, Story Will Likely Be Set In The PresentWhen it comes to movies out of Marvel Studios, the future is always being kept in mind. Whether the filmmakers are simply developing storylines that can match with Joss Whedon's The Avengers - set to come out summer 2012 - or targeting direct sequels, there's always an eye being kept on the next step. This idea certainly applies to Captain America, whose first solo film is set to be released this Friday....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-18 15:13:48comments

14 Minutes Of Captain America: The First Avenger VideoCaptain America arrives next weekend and, in a summer that’s already seen Thor and X-Men: First Class, it’s my hope that this will end up as the best superhero movie of the year.

Captain America Wields His Shield In New Fight Scene ClipIt ends with Cap in a pretty tight spot, stuck between four flamethrowers, but how much do you want to bet it turns out all right in the end. My favorite part of the clip might be the score, a kind of jaunty, slightly suspenseful accompaniment that seems to jive when the entire old school 40s feel of the movies...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-07-14 14:15:01comments
13 New Stills From Captain America: The First AvengerWhile it's a real shame that Marvel won't be hosting a Hall H panel at this year's San Diego Comic Con, the studio will have a presence, and I'm not referring to the set-up they have planned for the exhibition hall. In addition to the expo, the weekend of the 22nd also marks the opening of Captain America: The First Avenger, the last Marvel solo superhero movie before next year's The Avengers, and now we are sprinting to the finish line with 13 new stills....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-08 14:31:49comments
Go Behind The Scenes With Two New Captain America FeaturettesWhile there are those that blame fading interest in the genre while others believe that the problems lie in marketing, Superhero Summer 2011 hasn't exactly resulted in an economic boom for the movie industry. Between Thor, X-Men: First Class and Green Lantern, only the first managed to bring in more than $60 million in it's first weekend. Still, the summer isn't over yet as we still have one more superpowered individual to swoop in and save the day: Captain America....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-06 15:56:54comments
Captain America Will Lose His Name In Russia And South KoreaWe’ve heard rumblings almost since it first started filming that Captain America: The First Avenger might have to change its title for release in less America-friendly international regions.

New Captain America: The First Avenger Poster Needs More Hitler PunchingA couple weeks ago, during the LA Times Hero Complex Film Festival, the marketing people at Marvel released a limited-edition retro poster for Captain America: The First Avenger, and I absolutely loved it. Taking advantage of the missed opportunity by X-Men: First Class earlier this summer, it was a ridiculously cool design and it's a true shame it won't be getting spread around much. Now Marvel has released a new one-sheet and, sadly, it's lacking that awesome retro vibe....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-06-23 12:05:55comments

Captain America Will Be Getting A New Costume For The AvengersOne of the reasons that Captain America's costume looks so fantastic for The First Avenger is because it's perfectly suited for the period in which the film is set.
