In addition to the Entertainment Tonight preview yesterday and the little snippets released by Paramount today came the announcement that the first theatrical trailer for the highly-anticipated Captain America: The First Avenger would be released tomorrow. Apparently somebody got their hands on it 24 hours early.

Paramount has released the first full trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger. Directed by Joe Johnston, the film tells the story of a patriotic young man unfit for military service due to his small stature and frailty. Wanting to fight, however, he volunteers to undergo a procedure that turns him into the perfect human specimen. Donning a costume and mask, he heads to Germany to fight the Nazis and the villainous Red Skull.

Check out the trailer below.
