Captain America Is In the Hulk Movie, Kind Of
Posted at 10:12 AM Oct 13, 2008
Okay. Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrierererer is no longer a liar—Captain America has been spotted by a large number of eagle-eyed nerds with Blu-ray players who got their screener copies of the movie last week. As you can see above, there is indeed a scarcely visible Cap-shaped blob in one of the ice floes seen in the DVD's alternate opening.
I'm not sure why I'm no longer excited or impressed. I'm sure it's partially because a vague shadow of a Cap-sicle isn't exactly Sam Jackson announcing to Robert Downey Jr. he's Nick Fury. Also, until some higher-res shots came out last night, that blob looked nothing like Cap—you definitely need a Blu-ray player, HD TV, a pause button and a fair amount of time to find him. Until I saw the better pics this morning, I was prepared to announce the nerdonet had a major case of wishful thinking (obviously, I begrudgingly accept the above proof). Last but not least, I blame Leterrier. He's the one who got everyone worked up about Cap for the Hulk premiere, swearing it was definitely in there even the Wednesday before the movie opened. While I guess he's been vindicated, how out of the loop did he have to be to know know that his opening was getting cut, two days before Hulk was released?
So...yeah. Cap. I still feel empty inside. (Via First Showing)

I STILL CAME
Posted 10/13/2008 at 07:23:16 AMIt took me 45 seconds to orient my brain correctly and decipher the bullshit magic eye puzzle that this "Cap Cameo" is. It looks like someone buried a cardboard cut-out. Feh.

Posted 10/13/2008 at 08:24:22 AMi guess i dont remember the context where this scene is taking place.. but good to know just about anybody could have just sort of walked on top of this ice and took a photo with "the frozen man"

serisouly reaching
Posted 10/13/2008 at 11:02:36 AMI just watched it in the film's alternate opening (which works much better as a DVD extra than as the opening to the movie), and it actually looks pretty cool. There's little chance in hell anybody would notice it without knowing exactly where to look -- I watched it twice before Rob told me, and I never saw it -- but once you know, and you look for it... I got chills, no pun intended.
It looks like Captain America is frozen in ice, but not in a "Hello, I'm Captain America!" kind of way. More like, "Wait -- what the fuck WAS that?!" It looks totally real, and while they could have done more, I'm glad they didn't. But I do think it's kind of cool that the Hulk is responsible for Cap having been discovered, by destroying that ice shelf he was trapped in.
Posted 10/13/2008 at 11:16:46 AMI don't see it at all. It's like looking at those photos that are supposed to show Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat.
Posted 10/13/2008 at 07:09:51 PMFor those not seeing it, it's not "Captain America" exactly. It's his shield. Look at the blow up. You can see a red ring, a white ring, and a shadow over the smallest ring and blue circle.
