Yesterday, AICN revealed what may be the conceptual artwork of actor Chris Evans in the Captain America suit for the movie. Many have speculate whether these were legit or not, but even with AICN claiming it is, there is still much to debate about. One thing fans are not debating over is how fucking rad the costume really looks. Staying true to the comics, the conceptual art of Cap sports the patriotic red, white, blue. Unlike, the X-Men movies, the costume designs were not “reimagined” for the big screen. Even after all that hub-bub regarding the legitimacy of the art, Collider dropped the conceptual art of actor Chris Hemsworth in the Thor costume. CRAZY! Comparing the two, it is obvious that the art was done by the same group and there is still no real official word coming from the studios or Marvel whether these are real, but you can only hope.
Iron Man can be a great example of a truly beautiful recreation of a costume from the comics. Adi Granov modern Iron Man artwork has been responsible for what we see in the theatres today. Of course an red and gold Iron Man suit seems a bit more realistic than a red, white and blue tights or a hammer wielding dude in a cape and helmet, but you have to believe that the creative minds behind these movies are going to do their best to make the films right. On the other hand, there was Elektra, Daredevil, Punisher War Zone, etc. etc. etc….. Orz.
