Must See: First Look At Chris Evans As CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER!!

**SAME DAY UPDATE: My friends over at Collider have some more great shots that have just popped up - check them out!

I am liking the retro look and feel for this CAPTAIN AMERICA outfit! It looks great and bang on with the era in which he starts his journey, WWII.

Here's what Chris Evans had to say about the plum role (via EW): “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!’”

After declining the part three times, Evans took a meeting with Marvel execs and Johnston and was dazzled by their plans for the movie. He still felt wary about suiting up for Captain America, but then he had an epiphany: “I was just scared,” he says. “I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear.’”

Evans signed a six-picture deal with Marvel to play the character, and he has no regrets: “I can’t believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America.”

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER hits theaters July 22, 2011.
