First Avenger : Captain America Movie - Characters and Cast

First Avenger: Captain America is slated for release in 2011 and has not yet began production, and as such, no information on the exact characters to be in the movie, or the actors who will play them is available. The only character that can be assumed to be 100% a lock to appear in the movie is Steve Rogers, Captain America himself.

Rumor has it that the plot will involve Steve Rogers being turned down for regular military service (for an unknown reason), and volunteering for a secret test program that would turn out to be the Supersoldier program that turns him into Captain America. At least some of the movie will take place in the WW2 era, although it is unknown if the entire movie will take place there. Marvel execs have confirmed that the movie will be a World War 2 period piece, and that it will lead into the Avengers movie which will follow soon after. Since The Avengers will take place in modern day, it can be assumed that First Avenger will feature, or end on, the familiar storyline of Captain America being frozen in suspended animation and thawed out in modern times.

From the Villain perspective, again no exact information is known, however, since the movie will be a World War 2 period piece, it is obvious that Nazis will be involved. Based on this it makes sense to deduce that The Red Skull or some variation on that character will be the likely villain in the Captain America movie.
