Empire Magazine's new Captain America cover

New Captain America Picture
Steve Rogers is our new cover star

It's that time of the month, the day we reveal the new Empire cover and its stars-and-stripes covered star, Captain America: The First Avenger. Doesn't he look upstanding and anti-Nazi-y? Roll on World War II, we say.
The film, of course, tells the story of skinny, weak Steve Rogers (Chris Evans. plus a bunch of digital trickery), who is determined to fight in World War II despite constantly being turned down for service on medical grounds, and who becomes a volunteer for a Super Soldier Serum formula which turns him into the ultimate soldier (Chris Evans, plus a weight regime that would kill lesser men). Only problem is the fiendish Nazis he's going to have to fight, led by their ruthless commander Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) and his men.

“Scripts had been developed that took place half in World War Two, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man,” says Marvel chief Kevin Feige. “So we finally said, ‘If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?’ Well, we’d set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-ass Captain America movie we wanted to.”

“I’ve always loved Raiders and the tone that it had,” says director Joe Johnston. “It was period but didn’t feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we’re doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It’s funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action.”

And he's not just an American hero, argues Evans. “I think he’s the ideal human,” says Evans. “Not just American. It’s what being a good person is. Steve’s managed to overcome all the shortcomings he’s had in life and he does what’s good and what he believes is right.”

'Captain America' Actor Sebastian Stan Expects Re-Shoots, Raves About Chris Evans

Sebastian Stan is back in New York after months spent in the UK filming "Captain America: The First Avenger." But Stan won't have to wait for a potential sequel or role in "The Avengers" to jump back into character as Bucky Barnes. That's because the 27-year-old expects to be called back to set for re-shoots in the coming months.

"It was from July up until December. We're finished for right now," Stan, who was honored as one of MTV News' 11 to Watch in 2011, said about the shoot. "The possibility of re-shoots is definitely a high percentage. But I think that always helps, because you can come back to it and see what it is that needs to be added or taken away. I think we'll have a little bit of that too."
Re-shoots on such a massive production, of course, are par for the course, and Stan certainly isn't complaining.

In a wide-ranging conversation this week, the actor spoke glowingly about the project, never more so than when he touted his work alongside the Captain himself, Chris Evans.
"You always hope that you're going to be able to work with people that you get along with. Chris and I got along so well," Stan said. "I love that guy. Not only did he really fill out his shoes in terms of being a leader and taking the movie on his shoulders — he did that very naturally, he's a natural leader — but we also got along so well."

Stan revealed that the majority of his screen time has him acting opposite Evans and that the two guys struck up a close, collaboration-friendly working relationship.
"Most of my scenes are with him, so I had the great ability to go to him to talk about the scenes," he said. "He became my right hand man throughout the process."
