Captain America: The First Icicle
Not content with spoiling its own comics before they’re released, it appears that Marvel has decided to start spoiling their movies, too. That’s the only reason I can think of why there’s this new Captain America trailer which reveals frozen-in-ice Cap being rediscovered, a scene which is presumably at the end of the film (although it could be at the beginning, and the rest of the film is a flashback). In Marvel’s defense, anyone who knows anything about Captain America knows that he ends up frozen, and besides, the movie still looks phenomenally awesome. FYI, after watching that last amazing Cap preview in 3-D yesterday? I’ll be seeing Cap in 3-D. I know 3-D is still a gimmick, but if that gimmick include Captain America throwing his shield into Nazis’ faces, I am 100% okay with that. (Via Blastr)
