Hints About Captain America’s Movie Costume

Posted by Craig Byrne | Captain America | Tuesday 1 June 2010 8:19 pm

Mike Sampson at JoBlo.com has apparently seen the Captain America movie costume, and although there’s no photo, he has offered some hints as to what to expect:

As you might expect, there’s no codpiece to be found and Cap is wearing blue pants tucked into brown utility boots. The pants aren’t skin tight but they aren’t baggy either. And for those who are curious, the pants actually have a fly so Cap can take a leak if he needs to.

The suit actually has a practical WWII military look to it with some of the obvious Captain America flourishes that we would expect. It’s hard to really pass judgment on a costume until you see it properly lit, in motion and doing what it’s meant to do. But based on what I saw, I’m pretty impressed with how they were able to adapt the costume for the film.

You can read Sampson’s full article, complete with more details, at JoBlo.com.
