It has a teaser trailer* so now it can have a thread.
Shame we only get a small glimpse at Red Skull, that's my main draw to the movie. Hugo Weaving is a pretty cool guy.
I like how scrawny they got Chris Evans. Still gonna find it'll be weird him playing two Marvel heroes.

*Why don't use US folks tell us these things, it was on during the superbowl, we don't have that.

Will not be able to watch this due to the fact that I consider this character to be a second world war propaganda throw-back that has aged woefully. You might as well say that Uncle Sam's hat is made of adamantium, have him hurl it at people Oddjob style and make a movie of it.

 

The shield actually serves to make him look like more of a pussy than the non-supers around him. The GI's are running around with flack jackets at best, charging towards gun wielding baddies while Cap is prancing around with an impenetrable shield acting like he's some sort of badass.

 

EDIT: ^^In my opinion.^^

I feel like the shield actually makes him more badass. It's more than some protective measure; it's also his main weapon, and seeing him throw/smack it is pretty awesome. During the Quick Look for the game over at Giant Bomb, watching the shield hit three or four people in one throw, with a satisfying metallic clangy sound, made me want to buy midnight tickets to the movie.
