Captain America : The First Avenger Movie Poster, Legit or More Fan Fabrication?
A few months ago I found and was ready to post a Captain America trailer, but thought I’d do a bit of research first. I’m glad I did because the video was a hoax. A pretty good one, but a hoax nonetheless. The artist who created it even created an alternate video, and indicated that it was a bootleg of a sneak peek shown at ComicCon. He played his original creation on either his monitor or his HD TV and recorded it on his camera phone to give it that blurry, shaky, standing in a crowd of fanboys look. He even piped in cheers from the crowd. I was impressed as he fit the “pops” in the cheering with certain character appearances on the screen: Nick Fury, Black Widow, Iron Man, the Hulk.
The give-aways were the shots that were clearly from other movies, in particular images of Hugo Weaving in 1800′s period dress from the Wolf Man and flashes of Karl Ruprecht Kroenen (the masked, blade wielding, Snake Eyes-looking Nazi) from Hellboy.
Now that I’ve piqued your interest, I suppose I should post the video for your review. Click on the image of the shield to link to the video (scroll down the page to find it).

Here’s the reason for this post. I was again searching for some little tidbit the studio might have released this week and found nothing. Well, almost nothing. On one website, I found this image, a movie poster for the upcoming Captain America, the First Avenger. I’m question it’s legitimacy as it looks strikingly similar in style to the fan-made Thor poster Dan was kind enough to share with us a few months ago (jump to It’s a Dan’s World here). Whether it’s legitimate or not, it’s fantastic and I love it. Enjoy.
