After a couple weeks of Marvel Studios and Paramount releasing official pics from the set of Captain America: The First Avenger we finally get to the first official film poster for the film. The poster itself is all about Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in the Captain America suit with the shield. The helmet is nowhere in sight, but previous released pics have already shown it and this image picked for the poster really shows off the suit.

The poster’s image is grittier in nature than I was expecting, but if one believes the rumors about which Captain America writers have influenced the script then the gritty look fits. It definitely brings to mind much of how Ed Brubaker of Marvel wrote the character just a couple years ago right before his death after the Civil War crossover in Marvel Comics.

So far, all the things Marvel has released about this film has done nothing but assuage whatever doubts fans may have about the film. Here’s to hoping that these pics and releases of information about the film will lead to a successful film.
