Happy Monday! Nothing starts a geek week off like a new photo from a superhero movie and an unsubstantiated supposedly-legit piece of concept art to go with it. Joe Johnston’s Captain America movie comes out in July and we should be getting close to the first teaser trailer, but for now we’ll have to cope with a new image of Huge Weaving holding the Cosmic Cube.

Along with Thor, I’m very excited about this movie, but my biggest concerns are with the choice of directors. If this is Johnston’s masterpiece we should be alright, but if it’s anything close to his typical film than it’s in the wrong hands. Regardless, Huge Weaving was an inspired choice to play Red Skull. I may have no idea what the Cosmic Cube is (let me know in the comments), but it’s a new image from the movie and that’s good enough for me.

I haven’t posted anything about the Captain America casting frenzy because it seemed like everyday the shortlist changed. SlashFilm is reporting that Marvel has officially hired Chris Evans to play the star-spangled Avenger in a 9 movie deal.

Evans of course played Johnny Storm in the not-so-awesome Fantastic Four movies, as well as Casey Jones in the CGI TMNT movie. Fox is hanging onto that license with a kung-fu grip for as long as they can (think reboot), so I don’t think that will interfere with Marvels red, white, and blue plans for him, but we’ll see.

I’m pretty exited about a period Captain America movie, so we’ll see how well they pull it off.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the horrible thumbnail image features the awesome Captain America Hoodie from 80sTees.com.

It seems like Hulu gets all the movies I rented constantly as a kid in the 90s. One of their newest additions is the guilty-pleasure Captain America movie from 1990. I loved this as a kid, even though I knew it was horrible.

If nothing else, it will get you pumped up that they’re finally making a real Captain America movie soon.

Check out the details on IMDB, and thanks to SlashFilm for the tip. Oh, and Happy New Year!
