Cap America plot!

Marvel appears to have revealed a plot synopsis of sorts for THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA. While it could still ultimately deviate from this, it’s nice to see that at least at this point, it looks like they’re staying pretty close to the original mythos.

“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-Soldier 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 and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and leader of the Avengers.”

So now the question is who will play ol’ Cap. I still like Matt McConaughey but what the hell do I know. I lost a sizeable amount of my savings on the Oscars and Amy Ryan. I also bet on WALL-E to be the biggest earner this Summer. I am not the person for film-related predictions. What do I look like a freaking psychic??
