Sinopsis oficial de The First Avenger: Captain America

Cuando se estan realizando los screen tests para seleccionar al actor que dará vida a Steve Rogers alias Capitán América, Marvel Studios ha difundido la sinopsis oficial del film:
"Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment... Operation: Rebirth.
After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Solider Serum and bombarded by 'vita-rays.' Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and as leader of the Avengers."
En estos momentos los actores Mike Vogel, Chace Crawford, John Krasinski, Scott Porter, Michael Cassidy, y Patrick Flueger estan realizando las pruebas de casting que está conduciendo el director Joe Johnston.
El film debe empezar su rodaje el 28 de junio con vistas a su estreno el 22 de julio de 2011. La película cuenta con un guión de Christopher Markus y Stephen McFeely que ha sido elogiado por el director de producción de Marvel Comics, Joe Quesada.
