It’s a movie that a lot of Marvel Comic fans have been waiting for. Captain America: The First Avenger is underway in it’s filming and there have been several teasers as to what the superhero was going to look like. With several costume test footages, concepts designs, and several behind the scenes shots that show Chris Evans in his civilian clothes, there has not really been a defined costume. Until now:

Entertainment Weekly has Chris evans on the cover for an exclusive first look at the The First Avenger. EW also sat down with Chris Evans to talk about his role and how he felt about playing such an iconic character in the Marvel Comic Book world; A role that he turned down 3 times before accepting.

At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, ‘If the movie bombs, I’m f—-ed. If the movie hits, I’m f—-ed!’… I was just scared. I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear… I can’t believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America.

Also in the article EW gives fans this synopsis for the film:

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 22, 2011.
