"You win wars with guts."
The newest trailer for the Captain America: The First Avenger film, complete with a lot more dialogue than previous trailers.
Legality:
The trailer. Thoughts:
- Increasingly, I'm thinking this might be the best superhero film of the summer (and I liked Thor and X-Men: First Class quite a lot).
- There's a lot more character stuff than previous trailers; in particular, Peggy gets a lot of dialogue, and I think she's shaping up very nicely. Hayley Atwell I already knew was a good fit for this period in history (Brideshead Revisited), and unlike a lot of superhero love interests she's gorgeous while not looking or sounding like a bad fit for her supposed occupation (hello, scientist Jessica Alba).
- I also like what we see/hear of Erskine. Despite being such a pivotal figure in Steve's backstory, he's a pretty undefined figure in the comics. I assume Howard Stark is there to take over as Steve's Q after Erskine dies.
- The role of army colonel, whatever the era, fits Tommy Lee Jones like a glove.

Prof. Erskine...
Definitely going to help flesh out the character for modern audiences, much like Shaun Toub did for Yinsen in Iron Man.
"I'll probably be dead in a week."
"Then this is a very important week for you, isn't it?"
Re: Prof. Erskine...
The supporting crew is ROCK SOLID.
