Just after new pictures from the production surfaced, Yahoo has premiered the very first poster for Joe Johnston‘s Captain America: The First Avenger. The superhero blockbuster stars Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Hayley Atwell, and Samuel L. Jackson. Check it out below and Yahoo will premiere the Superbowl spot on Sunday.
Plot: The year is 1942, and Steve Rogers is a scrawny lad who desperately wants to fight Nazis for his country but can’t because he’s been deemed physically unfit. His fate — and his physique — is radically transformed when he signs up for Project: Rebirth, a secret military operation that turns wimps into studs using drugs and assorted sci-fi hoo-ha. There’s a love interest (Major Peggy Carter, played Haley Atwell), there’s a sidekick (Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stans), and there’s the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Hitler’s treacherous head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a magical object known as The Tesseract (comic fans know it better as The Cosmic Cube).
Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters July 22nd, 2010.
