There are times when the weight of your own success can be your biggest adversary. It's the same for most super-heroes in the comics: the more winning they are at fighting crime, the more villains they behave across seeking to become a reputation by taking them down. With the upcoming film from Marvel entertainment, The First Avenger: Captain America, the biggest adversary it might have to face could actually be the high level of expectation it might awfully well be facing because of the success of prior Marvel film projects.
This is a pretty simple theory to follow along with here. With the first Iron Man motion picture, Marvel was just starting to lay out the foundations of its (subsequently) newly adopted approach of producing their own movies which would each and every one share a common continuity. When the Iron Man movie went into production mode, there was the expected coverage as well as buzz regarding the progress of the venture, nevertheless for the most part, comic fans were waiting to observe how things each and every one shook down with the finished product and the trailers that preceeded it before getting too worked up, since Marvel had no prior established track record for making its own motion pictures. Sure enough, the important success of Marvel's Iron Man feature film of 2008 as well as the minor success of the Incredible Hulk feature film from the same year earned Marvel Entertainment a few props as a legitimate movie production company.
Since that time, Marvel has continued to build up forward momentum concerning its feature film projects and with its plans to develope motion picture projects based regarding a growing number of its stable of other characters hoping to observe them eventually turned into franchises of their own. Between the release of the first Iron Man film as well as the next upcoming Captain America movie, Marvel will be releasing Iron Man II and Thor, in addition as starting production in relation to as a minimum one more movie, the Avengers (scheduled for a Summer 2012 release). One needs to assume that with the natural progression of more early hype or buzz being seen for Iron Man II than there was for the first movie as well as the likelihood that thor will carry with it a large amount of buzz because it will be helping to flesh out the Marvel motion picture Universe, that by the time Of First Avenger: Captain America, the hype machine will be building to a a great deal wider crescendo since Captain America will likely be treated as the linch-pin feature film to the next year's Avengers flick. This is evidently a primary source of pressure that would be challenging for any potential feature film franchise to live up to.
For sure a number of other factors will likely come in to play and should so additionally be put about the table for consideration.
Firstly, even if it is a safe assumption to make that Captain America is an iconic character that has been established as such with comic book fans for scores of a decade and has a enormously rich history in comics, the character has not been the recipient of a lot - if anything - in the way of good feature film as well as television feature treatments over the years; In both movie and television, Captain America has been the victim of low budget motion picture making, suffering from weak storylines as well as (for the nearly all part) poorly executed costume designs. Examples of this less than stellar celluloid history can be situated easily enough with a search regarding the internet.
Genuinely, when the bar about a character's depiction regarding film has previously been prepared so low, it is fair to say that it should not take much to raise the bar at - least somewhat. Nonetheless the regular costume of Captain America is definitely one of those that might not translate easily onto the big screen without various careful consideration . It will be intriguing to observe if the filmmakers choose to go with the historical costume of the character that includes the chainmail or scalemail outer protective covering, or if they instead decide on to go with the more latest depiction of the character from the Ultimate line of Marvel comics that has adopted a bit more of a military look as well as feel to the costume. Myself, I believe that the costume for Captain America can be laid out in such a way as to be credible on the subject of-screen, still to achieve that effect some careful concept as well as care needs to be included within design development procedure.
Finally, the of great consequence option of an actor to portray the iconic character is one that would have to be made especially carefully. The choice of Robert Downey Jr. to play Tony Stark/Iron Man was in hindsight a stroke of genius on the subject of Marvel's part and the company will be hoping to catch lightning once again, consequently to speak, to help ensure the film's acceptance and success with its intended audiences. An actor that can effectively communicate his emotions while adorned with whatever costume he ends up in wouldn't hurt. I'm in all honesty looking forward to following the progress of the Captain America motion picture also as each and every one of the other upcoming Marvel feature film projects as they advance in to development.
