Previous Post Ain't it Cool News has the concept artwork for the movie version of Captain America's costume. No wings on the head. It actually is pretty close to the Ultimate Cap look. I hate the extra stars on the shoulders... They serve no good purpose other than to clutter up the design. Plus, the material seems ultra modern, considering the movie is set in the 40's. Still, not too bad. It's definitely recognizable as Cap. Just put some wings on his noggin. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45326

I don't understand why Hollywood feels the need to make every superhero costume so "busy". There is a lot going on here and I think a simplified version would work just as well.

On the whole though it's not bad. We could have ended up with black as the primary colour instead of blue, so I'm glad to see it's still a fairly bright costume.

As I look at it it has kind of an armoured look to it, which I don't mind. I do hope that this look is the "modern era" look for Captain America; this outfit looks too high-tech for a movie set during WWII. I actually wouldn't mind seeing them use the Ultimate Cap's costume from the war in the movie; I thought it looked good for the period.

The wings missing really stands out to me; I would be fine with them just being painted on, but that contrast is needed on the helmet I think. And how else are the Avengers going to call him "Winghead"?
