Which costume should be used in 'The First Avenger: Captain America'?

Forget the debate over who should play the star spangled Avenger! More importantly, which costume should he wear?

I created this article despite all of the debate around who should play Captain America. It seems we are forgetting the other big star of the movie...his costume! For example, should he have the round shield or triangular shield? Should Cap have the same costume in WWII, and then a slightly updated version for 'The Avengers' or two entirely different costumes? Here are five of the characters most well known costumes most likely to appear in 'The First Avenger: Captain America'!

Classic Captain America

Classic WWII Captain America

20_captain_america_601_djurdjevic_70th_anniversary_variant_

Ultimate Captain America

WWII Ultimate Captain America

WWII Captain America: Reborn

So, which would you most like to see? Vote for your favorite in the poll above and don't forget to explain your choices or even suggest a few of your own in the usual place!

	Gotta go with the original. It's what I grew up with, and what I know and love supermarioworldE - 10/20/2009, 3:59 PM
	Way to put out another CAP article lol! An the modern ULTIMARE (Lmao) CAP sucks! Dude i dont get this POLL?? He should have the modern look and the WWII look coz he's in WWII and the present?? LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 4:01 PM
	I voted CLASSIC CAP @ JOSH @ But i think we all want a version of WW II CAP too! LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 4:03 PM
	LEE: The point of the poll is that there are FIVE costumes he could potentially wear - all of which are unique in their own way! Thats pretty straighforward if you ask me! I voted for the WWII Ultimate costume because its the most realistic for a period movie. As for The Avengers, I'd like a mix between the classic and Ultimate costumes seen in the most recent comic books! joshw24 - 10/20/2009, 4:13 PM
	From what I've come to understand, it's going to basically be 616 Cap in the Ultimate Origin, so I guess the Ultimate one. Then have 616 Cap's costume in the Avenger movie. But maybe they could mix it up a bit with the Reborn costume. MovieTheaterLad - 10/20/2009, 4:15 PM
	How is it straight forward when he has to wear TWO COSTUMES in the [frick]ing movie???? Lmfao man, u kill me!! ; D My the way a mix would be good! ; ) LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 4:15 PM
	LEE: Dear God, you're not all that bright - every bit of news so far has pretty much said that the whole movie will be set in WWII! The question is, which of these costumes should he wear in that movie!!! For all we know they might use one of the modern costumes or one of the WWII ones! Jesus...sometimes i wish i could kill you....! This article is just to see which people would most like to see in the movie, 'The First Avenger: Captain America'!! joshw24 - 10/20/2009, 4:27 PM
	uuummmmmmhhh... what's going on in this article Josh & Leee You two can't get along. I personall would like to see the Ultimate WWII uniform, and then the Classic Cap in the Avengers. The Ultimate uniform actually looks pretty neat for the period piece, and would fit well into film. StrangemannX09 - 10/20/2009, 4:51 PM
	I think the reborn one, its a good mix of classic and ultimate......uuuggghhh i just have a hard time swallowing Ultimate stuff and dumplins ..bah :P Nice stuff Josh :) teabag - 10/20/2009, 4:59 PM
	@Teabag So long as they give him Ultimate pants. Those shorts are kinda funny looking. I just love saying that.... "Ultimate pants". MovieTheaterLad - 10/20/2009, 5:07 PM
	i voted for the WWII Ultimate Captain America since it looks more like a ww2 uniform for cap flames809 - 10/20/2009, 5:26 PM
	Deffo Ultimate WW2, morphing into a combination of Classic and Ultimate in modern day. Rorschach01 - 10/20/2009, 5:28 PM
	hehehe Pants mean Trousers right lol teabag - 10/20/2009, 5:28 PM
	Ultimate WW2 Cap for sure. It's awesome, and the movie takes place in WW2. Kinda makes sense doesn't it? InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/20/2009, 5:31 PM
	JOSH @ [frick] YOU! ; ) LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 5:38 PM
	You know im kind of want there own vision of the suit...it will be interesting to see :) teabag - 10/20/2009, 5:40 PM
	No one knows nothing about the plot or anything, news reports say other half of the movie or three quarters will be in WW II, not all!!! LEEE777 - 10/20/2009, 5:40 PM
	Ultimate... @Leee - Judging it from the director (Rocketeer, Jurassic Park III) It will have a brief extent of WWII Cap, then go in to the future and battle the red skull their as well?.. ;) Minotauro - 10/20/2009, 5:44 PM
	Actually, Lee, they have said that the movie will be in WW 2 for almost the whole movie. It might not be the whole entire thing, but pretty damn close. So still, Ultimate Cap WW2. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/20/2009, 5:44 PM
	The premise is said to be WW2 and like Raiders of the lost Ark but with more gadgets...mmmmm i think we are gonna see something very differant :) As for the Avengers i was all for classic cap but im begining to warm to this forgotten gem..... teabag - 10/20/2009, 6:00 PM
	Thanks for all the comments so far guys! :) Classic Captain America 16 Votes (24.24%) Classic WWII Captain America 3 Votes (4.55%) Ultimate Captain America 8 Votes (12.12%) WWII Ultimate Captain America 20 Votes (30.30%) WWII Captain America: Reborn 17 Votes (25.76%) Other 2 Votes (3.03%) It seems like the Ultimate WWII version is the most popular choice right now - it makes sense really as its easily believable it would have been around in WWII! Still, it might not hurt to add a little of the normal Cap costume into it so its a little more recognisable to the non hardcore comic book fans! teabag: Im also a big fan of the Reborn costume! Thats the one Id actually like to see the modern Cap wear as it mixes the best parts of Ultimate and Classic! Thats a cool outfit in that pic though...any idea where its from? joshw24 - 10/20/2009, 6:09 PM
	Josh@ it was from a Secret Invasion offshoot from one of Fury's files :) teabag - 10/20/2009, 6:15 PM
	Definitely Ultimates WWII....and they should start off with the original shield on his first mission, which turns out to be a piece of crap and Mr. Stark gives him the round one which Cap loses in the explosion only to be found by the Howling Commandos and returned to Mr. Stark, who in turn, hands it down to his son Tony and ends up on his worktable. Speaking of Stark, that suit that teabag posted looks like some sort of jumpsuit that he (Tony)would create. I don't care too much for the Ultimate Cap uniform. That gray stripe that runs down the side makes it look like a football jersey and the stars on the shoulders are too reminisent of the winter soldier and you've got to have wings...... wdbeckiv - 10/20/2009, 6:24 PM
	You know? Come to think of it, they should have used the one teabag posted for the new Captain America. Alex Ross's version just doesn't cut it in my opinion. wdbeckiv - 10/20/2009, 6:27 PM

	Without a doubt the Ultimates' WWII Cap. Then, in the Avengers movie, Fury can issue Cap a modern uniform. That gives Marvel three years to design a costume that would work well on screen. MultiPurposePoni - 10/20/2009, 9:11 PM
	I think the Ultimate's WWII uniform is more fitting for the 1st film. I mean most of the movie is set in WWII already so what's the problem? Geekautomaton - 10/20/2009, 10:12 PM
	Ultimate WWII for most of the movie, and then classic cap sometime in the end. Macksimus - 10/20/2009, 11:05 PM
	@teabag: I absolutely love the Secret Invasion offshoot!!! Much more practical in the sense that it would really work live action. It's very Olympic like. A couple of (very minor) tweaks here and there and we have ourselves Captain America for the Avengers movie! Bravo man!!! IronClad - 10/21/2009, 2:58 AM
	Definitely WWII Ultimate Captain America for "The First Avenger: Captain America", though. For the period in which The First Avenger will take place it definitely makes the most sense. IronClad - 10/21/2009, 3:03 AM

	It has to be the WW2 ultimate cap, it just fits the period piece that should be the first avenger. However I'm really digging the helmet the cap is wearing in the reborn pic so maybe a mix of the two. thwhtGuardian - 10/21/2009, 10:06 AM

	thwhtGuardian: Yeah, thats the one thing that I would change about the Ultimate WWII costume - with the reborn mask/helmut it would look enough like the Captain America that most people know whilst also being an authentic looking perid costume! joshw24 - 10/21/2009, 10:09 AM
	ComicBookMovie: Im not sure that Id even count that abomination under "other", lol! :) joshw24 - 10/21/2009, 10:12 AM
	Without question you use two seperate costumes. Marvel has already stated that The First Avenger will take place in the '40's. Therefore, it's obvious they should stick with the classic WWII costume for the first flick. Chances are he'll be frozen by the end of it, so wouldn't it make sense, once found and revived in modern times, to update the costume to...wait for it...the Ultimates version! With Hulk and Iron Man, and the way these stories have been playing out, they are obvious reflections of the Ultimates to some degree. They need to keep these stories and films grounded in reality if they are to keep the credibility there for super hero movies such as these, and that's what the Ultimates were all about. That being the case, Classic WWII Ultimate costume, then into the Ultimates getup in Avengers. It's the only way. Unless of course you consider the one obvious forgotten costume posted to this site that I can't believe no one has put on...the one where Jensen Ackles is wearing an American flag speedo, mask, and shield for all the tools that still think he will be playing Cap...

	Teabags cap suit was in fury's secret war in 2004. This series is where fury leaves shield and goes underground. I could see it working for the avengers movie but would like to see WWII: reborn in the cap movie Stubbyswof - 10/21/2009, 10:21 AM

	Tea@ wish they would have used those costumes more in the comic. It seemed the artist spent a lot of time designing them for just a splash page. Stubbyswof - 10/21/2009, 10:37 AM
	I voted classic WWII, but I'm sure they'll probably go with one modeled after the Ultimates one. They just need to keep the pointy shield for the beginning, and the suit needs to have chainmail.ive him the round shield sometime before he gets frozen, but start with the pointy one....... BubbaDude - 10/21/2009, 10:39 AM

	Definitely Reborn. ClintEastwood - 10/21/2009, 10:53 AM

	I say WW2 Ultimate Cap for First Avenger and then, the Reborn suit for Avengers but without the helmet. Use the Ultimate mask with no wings instead. I just hate the ultimate pants. I LOVE the reborn helmet but it would look ridiculous on screen in our day and age along side the other heroes. Shaman - 10/21/2009, 11:03 AM
	I say Ultimate ww2 Cap0 for First Avenger and for Avengers use the classic Cap suit maybe with a few Ultimate elements, saying that though i freakin love the feathers on the head Ryden - 10/21/2009, 11:05 AM

	If I am not mistaken, the guy playing Cap in the 1970s TV series is the same guy who played the muscle-bound lead in the Canadian Galactica rip-off "Space Mutiny". Anyone else see that one? The 1970s Cap turned me off immediately because they turned Cap into a motorcycle rider....and no real shield (just the bike windscreen). bropous - 10/21/2009, 11:31 AM

	I've been reading Cap comics since the 70's. Still have one that I bought in 1977, and somehow still have today. That said, I could live without the helmet wings, but he must have chainmail. ...and the guy who played Cap in the tv movies was Reb Brown, most famous for playing the demolitions guy in "Uncommon Valor" BubbaDude - 10/21/2009, 12:41 PM

	Banner123 - Classic Avengers or none at all! I do NOT want to see an Ultimates movie!!! God, I wish they hadn't used Ultimate Nick Fury in the Iron Man film! Arrgh! joshw24 - I think several costumes should be used to denote progression and development! Cap had a few slight variations on the original anyway! This isn't too big of a deal to me, as his mainstream continuity uniforms have the same basic design! I actually think he should start in fatigues and gradually move forward to the more familiar classic look! By the time he's with the Avengers, he should adopt the outfit we're all most familiar with, or close to it. Start wirh the triangular shield and progress from there! bropus - Cap DID used to ride a motorcycle back in the 70's! It looked waaaay cooler in the comics! It was a regular, red bike that came out of the back of his van! The TV movies didn't quite get it right unfortunately! JonF - 10/21/2009, 1:08 PM
	I honestly like the WW2 Ultimate outfit. Especially for the first movie since they have to tell the whle back story on how he became Captian America and fought in WW2. FlashThompson - 10/21/2009, 1:10 PM
	@teabag Im sorry dude, I love the wings in the comics but if the movie has them, nobody will take it seriously. Remember us comic book fans will only be a small part of the audience. Non comic book fans will laugh at Cap if he has the wings. I already have a friend who is not a comic book fan who loved Iron Man but wont go to see Cap because he thinks he looks stupid. I do not share his view but its just an example of how this movie also has to be accessible to the general public if it is to succeed in the cinema dancingmonkey08 - 10/21/2009, 1:10 PM
	MULTI: That looks excellent!!! Any idea how much it will have cost you to make by the time you finish? JonF: You make a good point about the progression of the suit though Id prefer to see a cross between the classic/ultimate outfit in The Avengers and stick to an WWII Ultimates style costume for Cap's movie as it will look far more realistic IMO! dancingmonkey08: I get your point about the wings! It would be good if they could find a way of keeping them but if not then the 'Reborn' style painted on wings might work a little better! joshw24 - 10/21/2009, 1:49 PM

	They should just put him regular military uniform and no shield. It should be about the character and not the costume. In fact they should not call him Captain America at all.

	Stubby@ your right how selfish of me..... teabag - 10/21/2009, 5:04 PM
	Either of the first two costumes would work fine by me. I'd lean more towards the "classic" WWII costume mixed with the round shield (just because we all want to see Cap throwing that shield at some point, and the round one would make a better visual for that). As long as he's not wearing that gay looking helmet, Cap should look fine on-screen. The helmet makes him look less like Captain America and more like a leftover from a 50s biker gang. As for anyone "laughing" at Cap if he has the wings, [frick] what some wannabe posers at Hot Topix think! The wings are an integral part of the costume, and part of what makes it work in the first place. comicb00kguy - 10/21/2009, 5:08 PM
	@teabag: That looks like my neighbor. . . but hot @comicb00kguy: He shouldn't get the round shield till the end of the movie, but he should throw it at the first person that laughs at this wings :) MultiPurposePoni - 10/21/2009, 5:14 PM
	This is what I think would work for the movie: Steve Rogers settles for a job as an Army illustrator because he's not physically fit to serve in combat. Volunteers for the Super Soldier Program thinking it's his break to actually serve in a theater of war. After the experiment, the government parades him around in the Classic WWII suit solely as wartime propaganda. He doesn't want to play that role anymore, and forces the military to send him to war. He takes up a persona of a regular troop wearing standard issue fatigues and gear (no shield). He realizes that the soldiers on the front lines don't just need a leader, but a symbol to keep their moral high. The military sees that he does more good on the front lines (as it serves their propaganda agenda as well) and they ask him to don the costume again. He modifies the Classic costume into one that suits a war fighting mission (Ultimate WWII with pointed shield). Before the final battle, he is issued his new uniform and round shield (Classic costume). Frozen in ice. FIN MultiPurposePoni - 10/21/2009, 5:36 PM

	From what I've seen him in, yeah. He's never had a staring role in a movie before, but his secondary and tertiary roles have been good. Off the top of my head: The Break Up, Wedding Crashers, Las Vegas (TV) MultiPurposePoni - 10/21/2009, 8:02 PM
	@multi: That's right! I remember him in The Break Up. Not only do I think he has that square jaw all American look to him, but I also think he's unkown enough to draw you in and make you believe he's Captain America. Kinda like Chris Pine as Captain Kirk; yeah you've seen him in other things, but nothing prominent enough to evoke other characters they have played. Which, in my opinion, is exactly what you need for a character the magnitude of Captain America. IronClad - 10/21/2009, 8:14 PM
	@IronClad: Exactly. They really should go with someone that can be associated as the Cap without the baggage from other leading roles. BTW, are you new here? MultiPurposePoni - 10/21/2009, 8:17 PM

	hahahaha lee!!! the wwII ultimate makes most sense realistically, but comeon pretty much the whole general public only knows the guy by his classic costume, the ult ww2 one may throw people off. itll probably be a cross between it and the classic, hopefully leaning more toward ww2 ultimate. nice idea multi! and whoever came up with the story of stark's dad and the shiedl thing...that was sweet thinking too. sorry too lazy to scroll up and see who it was hahaha!

	I have an idea for the movie. Wrap your heads around this. The film is from the point of view of a couple grunts who are around when a red and blue blur runs into battles yelling American propaganda and kicking the crap out of all kinds of baddies. you never really see Cap but you know he is there somewhere. I think it could make hundreds of dollars. weapon925 - 10/21/2009, 9:54 PM
	Reborn looks the least gayest. HavokNinja93 - 10/21/2009, 11:48 PM
	FlashThompson Love the Liefeld pic! I forgot how bad he was. How in Hell did he ever get a job illustrating. Cook - 10/22/2009, 3:54 AM
	@multi: let's get this thing rollin' for Geoff Stults as Cap!!! Perfect look, acting chops, height, athletic (former pro football player), non puss (clears throat Ackles, Barrowman, Lewis AND DiCaprio) and he's relatively unknown. Stults for Cap!!! Stults for Cap!!! IronClad - 10/22/2009, 3:59 AM
	MULTI: Thats a great story idea for Cap! Him deciding that he needs to become a symbol of hope by wearing a costume could lead to some excellet scenes! weapon925: Lol, thats a great idea! And instead of calling him Captain America or making him anything like the actual character they should just call him "The Red-Blue Blur"! ;D IronClad: Not a bad idea at all! (and definitely a better choice visually that either Worthington or Lewis) Im just not convinced he has enough acting experience to play Cap though. joshw24 - 10/22/2009, 4:14 AM
	also... stay w/ me on this... he (Geoff Stults) is one of the stars of an upcoming ABC show called Happy Town (check out the preview over on youtube). now, isn't ABC in cahoots w/ Disney??? And, isn't Disney now in cahoots w/ Marvel??? see where i'm going w/ this??? me neither... never mind. IronClad - 10/22/2009, 4:16 AM
	Well, I never expected this! The poll has had almost as many votes as the actual Captain America one did! As its been a slow few news days I'll hold off on announcing any final results just yet but here are the results so far... WWII Ultimate Captain America 503 Votes (28.27%) Classic Captain America 410 Votes (23.05%) WWII Captain America: Reborn 375 Votes (21.08%) Ultimate Captain America 368 Votes (20.69%) Classic WWII Captain America 78 Votes (4.38%) Other 45 Votes (2.53%) joshw24 - 10/22/2009, 4:18 AM
	@joshw: the fact that he doesn't have the experience is the best part!!! how much 'experience' did Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford have when they played their respective characters in that one movie??? what's the name of it again??? again, the size of this role needs someone who doesn't make you think of another character. plus, that lack of experience means he's soft clay (ie no inflated ego... i assume) in Johnston's hands! think about it. IronClad - 10/22/2009, 4:24 AM
	IronClad: Touché good sir! Thats a very good point! I'll have to see if I can find a few clips of the guy on YouTube. I read on his Wikipedia page that he was in an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond so I should be able to find that episode somewhere online as well! As he's an unknown he might definitely fit the bill as to what Marvel are looking for...and as I said above he's a much better choice that Whispering Worthington or Bum-Chin Lewis, lol! Still, my no.1 choice remains JENSEN ACKLES!!! :) joshw24 - 10/22/2009, 4:31 AM
	@joshw: to each his own sir... to each his own. in my humble opinion, Ackles is too boyish. another great thing about Stults is he's an even mix of--god i can't believe i'm about to say this--boyish and rugged. IronClad - 10/22/2009, 4:38 AM
	Iron Clad@ i like your Pick...il check him out :) teabag - 10/22/2009, 5:15 AM
	Multi@ costume is commin out great...cant wait 2 catch the finished product.. FlashThompson@HAHA man its alwayz a hit or miss with liefeld...that was by far his worst...what the hell was he thinking???..I liked his original run on X-force..but think he has gotten worse rather then better over time... ~X XmutantX - 10/22/2009, 5:38 AM
	since the movie will apparently take place mostly in wwII,they should use the original marvel wwII steve rodgers out-fit. hopefully we might get to see cap inter-act with wwII nick fury,but since they already chose the ultimate route with him,it seems unlikely. once it gets to modern times,they should definetly use the modern out-fit with the "wings of freedom" attached to his cowl. and definetly the round,indestructable shield. captain0vell - 10/22/2009, 6:15 AM
	I say use Reborn, but with the badge shaped shield to start with, and then graduate to Classic with the round shield later in the film and for Avengers. DarthMulder - 10/22/2009, 6:36 AM
	Geoff Stults for Captain America! - Born in Detroit, Michigan - former pro football player - Height: 6'3 - relative unknown actor - recurring roles in 7th Heaven and October Road - staring in new ABC series this year PLUS, he dated Stacy Keibler Now THAT'S a role model :) MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 7:30 AM
	Poni - I agree, Ultimate WWII Cap is the way to go. Rest of the costumes looks like PJs. This is a period piece and it should look like one. SirPrize - 10/22/2009, 7:34 AM
	huh. Good pick Multi. I could see it. And to me that show looks pretty interesting also DarthMulder - 10/22/2009, 8:16 AM
	Darth@ i agree the show looks cool :) Multi@ he aint Ackles..lol jk...He looks good to me bud, much better choice than Leo,Valley or Eckhart :) teabag - 10/22/2009, 8:33 AM
	@teabag: IMO they should put the top three Cap candidates in a cage and have them duke it out for the role :) @Darth: The credit is all due to IronClad, he brought up the idea :) MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 8:35 AM
	Who's GEOFF??? LEO wants to know??? LEEE777 - 10/22/2009, 9:10 AM
	@LEEE: As much as I think Leo would do a good job, he's not one of the top contenders. I guarantee the studio wants an actor that will solely be identifiable as the Cap. MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 9:15 AM
	GUYS, there are two important updates to the COSTUME CONTEST! Go check them out :) MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 9:46 AM
	@multi: thanks for giving credit where credit's due man! also, thanks for helping get this thing rolling. if we want to get someone up there as Cap that isn't any of these girly boys everyone else is talking about we need to make some noise!!! I plan on making some more noise later. but for now... I gots to gets readys for works! IronClad - 10/22/2009, 1:46 PM
	Sorry IronClad but the guy isnt a scratch on Jensen Ackles!!! joshw24 - 10/22/2009, 1:58 PM
	@josh: Really? And why shouldn't be be considered along side Ackles? I would like some valid points besides 'Ackles has blond hair and blue eyes' MultiPurposePoni - 10/22/2009, 2:14 PM
	@josh: maybe the Stults isn't a scratch on Ackles 'cause Ackles doesn't have a scratch on him! he's way too squeaky clean. IronClad - 10/22/2009, 3:30 PM
