Another New 'The Avengers' Image: Strutting Cap and Company

Good news, everyone.  The start of another week brings a new still to add to your flipbook version of The Avengers, a low-tech solution for anyone struggling with an addiction to teases of the titular heroes hanging out in what look like SHIELD facilities. 

Last week closed out with a look at Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, but now we've got other big Chris, Chris Evans, in full Captain America regalia.  He's flanked by Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson as SHIELD operatives Hawkeye and Black Widow, all of them putting on mean faces and strutting like they're in The Right Stuff.

The image below debuted in the print edition of Empire, but the scan was made available by the good folks at Coming Soon.  As you can see, those members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes whose sartorial choices are made by SHIELD tent to sport elaborate boots complete with many a buckle and strap.


The costumes in the film are designed by Alexandra Byrne.  She's an Oscar winner for her work on 2007's Elizabeth: The Golden Age, though she's also been nominated for Finding Neverland, Hamlet, and Elizabeth.  She made her first comic book contribution last year with Marvel's Thor.  Tasked with updating Cap's outfit from the WWII costume of Captain America: The First Avenger, she streamlined and modernized nicely, though the helmet looks a bit goofy.

The Avengers, as written and directed by Joss Whedon, is set to hit theaters on My 4th.  Then you'll be able to see the three characters above facing off against Tom Hiddleston's Loki and whatever malevolent forces he's called down to Earth.  Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, and Cobie Smulders also help out to fight bad guys and make a lot of money for Marvel.
