Captain America Does Battle With … A Man in a Mo-Cap Suit

17 Aug

The ubiquity of phone cameras has made it increasingly difficult for studios to maintain a shroud of secrecy over their projects – we’ve had images from the set of Superman, The Dark Knight Rises and now you can feast your peepers on sneaky peeks of The Avengers. The Joss Whedon helmed culmination of the recent slew of Marvel superhero flicks has been filming in Ohio this week, with Cleveland doubling as New York. The scene is question features Chris Evans’ Captain America doing battle with – well, he’s doing battle with a man in a mo-cap suit, as you can see after the jump.

What is there to say about these images? Well, the mo-cap suggests that the foe that Captain America is doing battle with is going to be entirely rendered in CGI. It also looks like we’re going to be treated to some futuristic weaponry if that funky rifle is anything to go by.

I have mixed feelings about the film. The first Iron Man and (to my surprise) Thor were excellent fun whereas Iron Man 2 and Captain America were less successful. The teaser trailer at the end of Cap was pretty disappointing, but there wouldn’t have been much in the can that could have been drawn upon. Joss Whedon was a great choice as director and, given his presence, I’m cautiously optimistic. The Avengers hits screens on May 4, next year.
