JFX Online (yeah, me neither) has “spy” photos from the set of the now-shooting “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” that would appear to reveal that Cap’s look has undergone yet another overhaul. I’m putting it below the jump for the especially spoilerphobic, but if you want a basic idea it’s pretty-much that dull number he was wearing in the “Heroic Age” books while Bucky Barnes was still the “acting” Captain America but with a Cap hood/helmet added. The crucial “missing” detail is the lack of identifying red/white stripes at the midsection (there’s some red-ish armor plates, instead) so mostly it just looks dull and anti-iconic – to say nothing of mildly irritating in a story sense: The getup he had in “Avengers” was A.) a variant on the one he designed himself in WWII and B.) was itself designed in part by the late Agent Coulson – you’d think that out of all the Avengers, Steve Rogers would be the one who’d be sentimental about that kind of thing…
