Captain America: The First Avenger First Look - Chris Evans as Captain America Hi-Res Photo

The November 5, 2010 issue of Entertainment Weekly gives the world its official first look at Chris Evans as Captain Amierca. While the cover image looks great, of all the upcoming big budget super hero films on the 2011/2012 slate, The Blot’s the most worried about Captain America: The First Avenger. Click on the high resolution photo below for an incredibly detailed look at Marvel Comics' First Avenger:

There’s just something about Captain America: The First Avenger and the early still photos I’ve seen that leaves me with an uneasy feeling. At the end of the day, I really just hope this film doesn’t wreck Marvel’s upcoming Avengers franchise of films.

Marvel Comics’ live action Captain America film is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 22, 2011.
