Captain America's New Costume Revealed

Captain America 2: Winter Soldier

The next movie in Marvel's Cinematic Universe after Iron Man 3 is Thor 2 but I'm going to skip Thor 2 and move forward to Captain America 2: Winter Soldier. Why? Because, Captain America is more interesting than Thor period.

Don't get me wrong, I like Thor but I just don't find him interesting enough specially when the events of Thor 2 will happen mostly in Asgard. Will I watch Thor 2 when it comes out? Of course, because I love superhero movies. ^_^

Captain America's New Costume

Let's forget about Thor and Thor 2 and let's focus on Captain America 2: Winter Soldier and his new Secret Avengers' based costume. I've never heard of the Secret Avengers comic books but I'm really glad that it existed because I'll get to see a different style to Captain America's costume (see picture below).

Cap's new costume for Captain America 2 is darker. It still has the famous red, white and blue colors but they're darker. The blue is darker, the red is darker and the white is kinda silvery or metallic. It also has that tougher and sturdier look and feel to it. Much like the one he wore in the first movie, Captain America: First Avenger.

What I Think About The New Costume?

Simply said, I like Captain America's new costume. The design is more modern and it looks sturdier. It has that military appeal to it but still look very heroic. It also clearly conveys that Captain America is an Agent of SHIELD.

New Costume For Captain America:Winter Soldier Leaked

I liked what they did with the costume in the Captain America: First Avenger movie. The costume designers adapted Captain America's costume to fit the movie really well. Captain America still wore the winged costume but only as his marketing or stage costume. His combat costume or uniform has more grit and looks more like a real soldier's uniform.

In The Avengers movie, the costume designers updated Captain America's costume again. I wasn't a big fan of the updated costume but, for some reason, it worked really well in the movie. Besides, it still had the look and feel of the original or Comic Book Captain America costume.

Captain America: Winter Soldier New Costume

In Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America will again wear a different costume. From what I've seen in the concept art, the new costume is somewhat adapted from the uniforms used by SHIELD Agents. It still has the STAR but it's not what I would call a Stars and Stripes costume anymore.

The color of the costume in the concept art also doesn't match any of Captain America's traditional costume colors. Captain America's costume is mostly blue with white and red but the one in the concept art has a darker color (see screenshot below, image credit: ComicBookMovie.com).

My Favorite Captain America Costume?

Obviously, my favorite Captain America costume or uniform is the Stars and Stripes. The previous Captain America (1990) movie used it and it looked very cheesy but it did match the original. It was also used in Captain America: First Avenger movie but only as a marketing or stage costume for Captain America.

Anyway, if they can update the original costume without changing it too much like what they did in Captain America: First Avenger and The Avengers movie then it will make a lot of fans happy. Of course, a different Captain America costume is welcome too as long as it doesn't look too cheesy.
