Two new clips from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’

Captain America: The First Avenger is only a week away from hitting Australian cinemas, and Paramount have been kind enough to send over two brand-new clips from the film and the final Australia one-sheet poster.

In the first of these, we witness the birth of the Cap, or as the title of the clip suggests, his rebirth as a “taller” and stronger version of Steve Rogers. Immediately following this is a clip showing Captain America in action, with the simply titled “Shield Fight”. It shows off the fighting sequences in the film, and some of the impressive special effects we can expect. Our buzz hasn’t waned at all, what about yours?

Captain America: The First Avenger will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving).

New ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Trailer and Poster

Captain America: The First Avenger may only be a month away from release, but that hasn’t stopped Marvel and Paramount from releasing a brand new trailer and poster in the last 24 hours.

The new trailer, courtesy of Paramount Australia, comes complete with more footage from the film, a pumping soundtrack from Tool and perhaps more importantly, more Tommy Lee Jones.

UPDATE (29/6/11): We have replaced the Yahoo! trailer with the official Australian release.

The new poster for Captain America: The First Avenger isn’t quite as fun as the recently released retro poster, in which the Cap is seen punching out Hitler, but it retains a certain handmade iconic charm that has been making its way into Marvel posters of late.

First Look: 2 New ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ TV Spots

With all of the hype surrounding superhero films X-Men: First Class and the US-released Green Lantern this week, Captain America: The First Avenger has managed to quietly slip a few new TV spots, with new footage no less, in under the radar.

Based on the long-running Marvel comic,Captain America: The First Avenger, the film tells the story of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), a runt of a soldier plucked from obscurity during the Second World War and made into an American super soldier by US government experiements. As the title implies, the film will also serve as a forerunner to the spin-off film, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, tying the storylines of the recent Iron Man films, The Hulk and Thor together as the ultimate super-team assembles.

Starring Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayley Atwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Stanley Tucci and Hugo Weaving, these clips come to us from MarvelFreshmanTV in glorious HD. Both screened yesterday in the US.

First Look: ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ – Red Skull

Few Marvel comics are iconic as Captain America, the human embodiment of the American flag. Thanks to Paramount, not only do we have a look at the Australian trailer for the film, but an exclusive image of the Cap’s nemesis: the Red Skull! Red Skull will be played by Australia’s Hugo Weaving, who is no stranger to big-budget epics like The Matrix or the Lord of the Rings films.
