After revealing the first glimpse at the Superbowl last month, Paramount have released the first full-length trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger; and it’s still looking pretty good. Pre-muscled cap steals the show, the effects both convincing and subtle; Tommy Lee Jones looks more grizzled than ever and we even get a nice glimpse of Howard Stark. It looks like the period setting will really make this film stand out from other summer blockbusters this year; the production design looks nicely detailed and nostalgic.
The music is a little dull (how many drums does it take to make a Paramount action trailer?) but hopefully we should hear the first parts of the score soon. They’re still holding out on any real footage of the Red Skull, so keep a look out for trailer 2.
