you know what's weird, captain america's sheild was in Iron man. But Iron man came out before the incredible hulk.

darrin on Oct 11, 2008

If Captain America is going to be set in WW2 how would Stark build his shield for him? Does Stark also build a time machine? Whatever.

Who cares about this 'cameo', Two other things I read in this post made me worried.

"crossovers—it's the future of movie making."

"If you thought The Dark Knight had one hell of an opening weekend, just wait until The Avengers opens on July 15th, 2011."

Seriously? Crossovers are the future? They're dodgy, jarring GAGS which do nothing but destroy the world a character is supposed to be rooted in. And as for The Avengers movie actually being good? What the hell are you smoking? Joint superhero movies absolutely cannot be done right. The only reason superhero movies can survive on their own is because the world they're set in can be toned and structured to make it all seem plausible. Each superhero needs their own world with their own terms of technology, society and realism. Mixing them all together just throws any immersion out the window and turns it into one, giant, 8 year old's fantasy.

…yeah whatever Brad. Discredit things before its made, fan-tastic. Might as well give it a chance, what the hell is it going to hurt?

@ 6, you can see the circular shield on Tony's work bench when Pepper walks in on him trying to get out of his suit. It's on the right side of the frame, almost looks like its not completed, there's a stripe missing. It IS plain as day Cap's shield though, I saw it on my second viewing in the theater. Could be Favereau is hoping they'll use that like Starktech gives Cap his new circular shield in the Avengers film.

However, I don't see crap in this photo. Of course, I couldn't see the shield in the Iron Man still reported on all the sites before either. So maybe he's there.

Matt on Oct 11, 2008

15

Thats pretty cool find.

As for the Captain America movie, It has to follow the comic book storyline where he grew up in WW2 and then by the end of the movie hes frozen in ice.

TigerClaw on Oct 11, 2008

Fanboys are funny…

Ronald, the boy on Oct 11, 2008

17

@ 11, Like I was getting at, Cap should have a shield that is shaped like a…badge? Look up Patriot, he's got the original shield. Cap got a new one when he was thawed out.

Matt on Oct 11, 2008

18

That reminds me of the photos of "Noah's Ark". In other words: We'll see.

Quanah on Oct 11, 2008

trying to boost dvd sales huh? movie doesnt even deserve a rental just to see this. sure it was much better than HULK but it still sucked hard.

Al on Oct 11, 2008

20

That's definately him

I can see him smiling - musta been a good time getting frozen like that.

The "shield" in captain america is barely a shield, its WAYY to small to be Cap's and doesn't looke complete. How at that point would he be designing a shield with that colour scheme? I don't buy it

Rob on Oct 11, 2008

21

Okay here is the story that I still can not understand, WHY THE FUCK is this not on the BLU RAY? This shit doesn't make sense at all. PIC looks like they just fucking posted it there cause the french dumb ass director said Captain America was there and then the producer of the film said they never shot him and then this shit pops like they just put there to make the director look and make DVD sales only. The smart thing to do was to also put on the Blu Ray, for now this shit looks like a fake or they just added that at the last minute.

honestly it looks photoshopped and fake.

im a noob when it comes to captain america, but why is he frozen anyway? does that make sense at all? and why is his shield frozen in the arctic when at the same time it is in tony starks lab?

retarded.

mortuus on Oct 11, 2008

….come on now

djw on Oct 11, 2008

25

Heya Brad,
Corssovers are "Dodgy and jarring GAGS", huh? Did Ray Nicolette in Out of Sight startle you out of the movie or was it a nice nod to the Elmore Leonard world where Jackie Brown and Out of Sight took place? Crossovers do more to BUILD a world where characters are rooted, not destroy it.
And why, exactly can a joint superhero movie not work? All the characters are established from their own flicks. I agree that if Maarvel had started off with an Avengers flick and spun off the characters from there, it woulda been ass. Building up to it like they are is genius and gets the movie going public up to speed on who this superteam is.

That having been said. I can make out the shield, but the smudge is the worst "cameo" I have ever seen. Nick Fury had a cameo, this under the snow dark shape thingy is a featured prop. A prop that was featured better in Iron Man.

ScottyR on Oct 11, 2008

26

Wow, come on where is the belief that anything is possible, so the shield can be seen on Stark's work bench, and its seen here is this photo, maybe Stark is designing a type of shield, not for Cap'n America, and the shield in this photo is an older model? Get with it. Yes Cap'n America is based in WWII but he get's frozen, and maybe when they do the C.A. movie it will tie in, something goes wrong after Cap'n does something incredible, and he accidently gets frozen, then Banner tells Stark that he saw something in the frozen waste of the Artic Circle, there just use your head.

If I'm wrong oh well (Bring on the snarky comment's) I'll wait for the D.V.D to a actually good reboot of a let down (Sorry Eric Bana) then we shall see if this is a genuine or forged photo.

Xerxex on Oct 11, 2008

27

Well, look, the director said that captain america was in it, its an "easter egg" that you have to search for. why is this in question? they couldn't show a close up of a captain america who has NO actor yet, thats committing someone to a role that isnt even filled yet. Nick fury had his cameo because Nick Fury was designed around Sam Jackson, in the ultimate universe, look it up. he was created for that actor to play the role, captain, no one is really casted yet.

Taurinh24 on Oct 11, 2008

28

A question here… Isn't that the frozen Captain America shield is not round. When WW2 Cap.A been frozen in the ice, on that time his shield should be not round shape right? But the picture looks like the shield is round shape.

Giggsy on Oct 11, 2008

only one thing left to explain…..how does tony have cap.'s shield, if banner just waklked past it…..

theori on Oct 11, 2008

If you go to Simplyscripts.com you can read Edward Nortons version of, "The Incredible Hulk" Where it has the intro where Bruce Banner is in the Artic.

The_Phantom on Oct 11, 2008

31

Matt, Phantom….your right! It is Cap. The next Shield is being constructed by Stark. it is all in front of you. Why do you not believe? This is true cross-over and buliding the Marvel Universe in film. Like X said "Use you head".

Tim "Cloverfield" on Oct 11, 2008

32

I cannot see anything in that photo…even printed out with a magnifying glass

Peloquin on Oct 11, 2008

33

Ok all of you guys that keep saying "How does Tony have his shield if The Hulk came out after Iron Man?" If you wern't retarded you would remember that at the end of the Hulk Tony Stark tells General Ross that He can help him with his big green problem-MEANING Iron man was set AFTER the hulk you dumbasses. And then some of you keep saying THIS IS THE WORST EASTER EGG EVER THEY DIDNT DO IT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR IT TO LOOK LEGIT-the guy a few commdents above me was right THEY COULDNT DO IT TOO CLOSE BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE FORCING SOMEONE TO CAPTAIN AMERICAS ROLE WITHOUT ANYONE BEING SIGNED ON YET. and then…..some idiot above me said a cross over movie would be ridiculous because you cant have that many superheroes together. Bryan Singer of all people managed to pull it off with the Xmen. Im PRETTY sure that if Bryan Singer can do that, marvel can afford a much better director who could pull off the Avengers. Jeesh please think before you post comments on here.

KG(kilogram) on Oct 11, 2008

I see somethings similar to his shield but its the same type of similarity that you fabricate by looking at images made of clouds. Could just be my mind making it up.

bret on Oct 11, 2008

Does that look like just a wrong to anybody else? Is this cloud talk?

AK on Oct 11, 2008

Very Cool. I'm going to have to see this next week.

Film-Book dot Com on Oct 11, 2008

37

Okay, i gotta say, this seems like grasping at straws.

King Medicine on Oct 11, 2008

38

This isn't grasping at straws! This isn't even questionable! This is confirmed! Did you read the article above?? The director of the movie himself said numerous times that Captain America is in it. He even explained exactly where he was, but the scene was cut. Did you read this too? There's no questioning this…

It's not like someone was randomly sitting at home watching this and said "oh man that blur!" They went looking for it because Louis Leterrier said it was in there. And it makes perfectly logical sense because Captain America DOES get frozen in ice in the comics! And if you look closely, you can see a shield. This isn't something we just made up today, it's official, accept the truth! It's not that hard to see it there!

Alex Billington on Oct 11, 2008

39

To everyone saying that it can't be possible that Cap has his round shield and Stark has it too, I agree. But keep in mind: THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN!!! It was cut from the movie, thus it CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be taken into the timeline or whatever. Not to mention, they are Easter Eggs, which means they are EASILY rolled over if need be. Getting upset because of an easter egg disagreeing with a whole movie is like someone getting upset because they use the Wilhelm scream multiple times in Star Wars, and it is pretty impossible that scream would happen more than once, haha.

And btw, I definitely think it is him. I mean, you can even see multiple colors in the body shape, not just the shield.

But I find it most likely that Captain will be frozen with his badge shield and then thawed out and given the round shield–remember, Stark was still playing around with Iron Man when you see the shield in the back. Maybe he thought about using it with the Iron Man suit.

Brad T. on Oct 11, 2008

#33 i see where your coming from and everything but i got one question, why does Stark have the shield if The Hulk passed this in the arctic?

Al on Oct 11, 2008

41

1. The shield in Stark's lab isn't the real shield, it is just an easter egg and has nothing to do with the time-line of the movie

2. Cap's shield was originally shaped like a badge but he got the round one during WWII and before he was frozen(and this can be seen in in the comics from the 40's as well as flash backs from comics from the 70's till today)

3. Cap gets frozen when he attempts to stop a last ditch plan by a Nazi scientist to launch a dooms day weapon at the end of WWII. He jumps on the rocket and he fails to stop it and jumps off(his side-kick doesn't listen to him stays on it and manages to blow it up) he lands in the cold water of the North Atlantic Ocean and becomes frozen in the ice

Joey on Oct 12, 2008

42

thats not even news

KL on Oct 12, 2008

43

The directors of both movies said that these easter eggs are correct. Just take it as it is intended. Some of us are taking it way to seriously.

Big r on Oct 12, 2008

44

The comic that comes with the Iron Man exclusive DVD explains that the shield on Tony's desk it's a prototype of his father.

Pepito on Oct 12, 2008

45

If this is the frozen cap, why the hell he is using the circular shield. Cap is using a different shield during the world war. Well, just giving my opinion.

Jori on Oct 12, 2008

46

That is much a piece of shit frozen in the ice as Captain America.

Andrew on Oct 12, 2008

47

KG(kilogram) you're the only dumbass here, what you think, that Stark is making a team and then Fury tell him to make a team when he is allready doing it?? asshole.

Juanito on Oct 12, 2008

48

Anyone else read the bonus story attached to the Walmart Iron Man DVD? It's an excellent little comic that tells of Nick Fury and Agent Coulson's behind the scenes dealings during the events of the film. It's very well written and extremely interesting. The reason I'm posting here is the story eludes to Stark's father's involvement in Project Rebirth.

It states that, off camera, Tony pulled the old files on an alloy his father worked on during WWII. Tony found an example of the alloy in his father's archives and then used it to strengthen his suit of armor. It shows him working on a Captain America shield in a small panel. What Tony found was just a prototype, a reject of Cap's real shield. According to the story, that's what was on Tony's work bench in that one scene.

About the shield…

"The final product was lost… although you can bet your life we'll never stop looking for it."

This is brilliant and it ties the Avengers arc together. I wonder if this is the path Marvel is taking?!?!?

Pepito on Oct 12, 2008

49

seriously cant anyone just be parctical here? if noboy said that this was captain america before you looked at it, ther'es no chance in hell you could tell what that thing is. it's just impossible

and btw, are you actually implying that the avengers is gonna have a bigger opening than dark knight?! puhlease, when iron man 2, thor, and thefirts avenger all hit, by the time they get to this shit in 3 years, everybody's gonna be avengered out. we still hafta find out who's gonna be cptn america, cuz if it mcconaughey, then i smell a box office bomb

It would've been cool if they threw it at the end, after the Tony stark cameo, perhaps even after the credits.

Nonetheless, I'll be getting the dvd.

#48 Pepito makes the most sense out of everyone. I haven't read it but now I will. Anyone here see Miracle on St. Anna? I wanna see it but only showing here at 1 time in 1 theater & Firstshowing only review white films which is totally unfair.

TBone on Oct 13, 2008

55

Some people are so stupid. It's just a tease folks. They are trying to build excitement. They want people talking about and anticipating the rest of Marvel's lineup.

Looks like they did the job perfectly.

Art on Oct 14, 2008

56

I think they put that Shield in Iron Man because, When Capt. America is unfrozen, Iron Man can meet him and say, ”Capt.America, Im Tony Stark, We Need To Talk about the Avenger Project”!
Or Capt. America could have an old style american shield, then Tony gives him a nice flashy one!!

Jesse J on Oct 16, 2008

57

Everytime I look at it, the more clear it is! No Doubt thats Capt. America!!

Jesse J on Oct 16, 2008

58

Cap was frozen while trying to stop a missle. Trying to disable the missle, he jumped on the missle with Bucky, his sidekick during WW2. Bucky died (sort of) and cap fell to an icy grave but instead was frozen in suspended animation (most likely the super solfier formula allowed this suspended animation to occur). Cap's orig shield was more triagular shaped, like a different post mentioned. When the avengers found the frozen cap, they thawed him out. I know he did get a new shield in modern times. it was either adamantium (like wolvierine's claws) or vibranium. I forget which.

oracledave on Oct 20, 2008

59

Okay,….so where is the damn scene???? I JUST got home with the Hulk DVD. I rented it. There is no scene ANYWHERE where there is snow,…ice, or otherwise. I looked at every single damn BONUS FOOTAGE scene and fast motioned through the entire movie,….no ice scene whatsoever. They said it was a brand new opening sequence. No sir. Not here. Is this a scam or what? Or are they only including it in the DVD's you purchase and not the ones you rent?? I am really getting sick of this captain america scene crap. I rented this dvd JUST FOR this scene. What a rip.

Erik T on Oct 21, 2008

60

I bought the Hulk movie today and the Artic scene is nowhere to be found. The bonus features have nothing regarding an alternate scene or intro in the Artic. I say it's crap also.

Will L on Oct 21, 2008

61

funny how people doubt good leads….schmucks (Erik T and Will L)

just watched the Blu-Ray version of the DVD release. In the "Extras" sections the second option is "Alternate Opening". Shows Bruce in what looks like Alaska hitching a ride with a trucker. End of the scene is him seeing the Northern Lights and flashing back. Pulls out a gun to commit suicide and The Hulk takes over…….

…last scene is of an avalanche….same one as posted above…..and sure enough, if you freeze frame through the end of the scene you will clearly see the shield in the bottom left corner of your screen.

Great catch by Alex…..naysayers suck

proveyawrong on Oct 22, 2008

62

Who you callin a schmuck, you dipsh*t? The DVD commercials said nothing of it only being on blue-ray. I didnt suggest the scene didnt exist, you idiot, I simply said that its crap that they only put it on certain releases. And how is a f*cking commercial a "lead" anyway, you ass-clown? Its a certainty. You'd make one hell of detective. Only,….cops dont get "leads" from commercials. Moron. By the way,…..its hard to be excited about an appearance when you have to freeze-frame it,….and convince your mind you're seeing something.

Erik T on Oct 22, 2008

63

Callin you a schmuck ya internet toughguy. You're the one ripping on the article saying it didn't exist and insinuating that it's a scam. Back away form the keyboard ya cockfag (yeah…I can be cool and call you names too).

What the hell are you talking about a "lead" being from a commercial…get your head out of your ass and realize that I'm talking about this article that your leaving a comment about…douchebag (look…I did it again…YAY!)

And there's no "convincing your mind" that you're seeing something…saw it pretty clearly myself.

OK….I think the lunch bell just rang…now run along and get back to class…..

proveyawrong on Oct 22, 2008

64

You're talking to a RECON Marine, home on leave. I am busy fighting for YOUR freedom right now . Its hard to imagine that you'd badmouth someone after they tell you that, but you probably will. Its people like us that make it possible for people like you to sit and be an "internet toughguy". Im not the one who drew firstblood with the "schmuck" comment. Stop being such a jerk.

Erik T on Oct 22, 2008

65

First and foremost, thank you for all you have done for all Americans in the support of Freedom.

I put in my 8 years, so this "people like me for people like you" arguement is lame.

Secondly, maybe heed your own advice. I'm not the one who went on a rant about it being a scam and then spewed verbal diarreah when someone pointed out that the scene does in fact exist.

proveyawrong on Oct 22, 2008

66

Holy crap, dude. Once AGAIN,….I never meant that I didnt believe the scene existed. For the record,…..I BELIEVED THAT THIS SCENE EXISTED, EVEN BACK WHEN THE HULK WAS AT THEATERS…..Okay???? The ONLY thing I was EVER pissed about, was that they only put the scene on certain formats…………….. THATS IT!!! Again,…..ALWAYS believed the scene existed. ALWAYS knew that it existed. That is why I parked in the lot at the video store ten minutes before it opened JUST so I could rent it and watch "the scene". When I didnt see it,….I realized that it might be ONLY on certain formats,…like Blue-Ray or SPECIAL EDITIONS,….and NOT on RENTALS. THATS what I was ticked off about. And by the way,….Im aloud to rant about anything I want. I wasnt putting anyONE down. I wasnt insulting anyone. I wasnt calling a PERSON names. I was "ranting" about how I cannot find the scene. YOU are the one that (for some reason) took it personally and upon yourself to get pissed about me voicing my opinion,……which by the way is freedom of speech (another thing I,…..I mean, WE,…. fought for)

Erik T on Oct 22, 2008

ok we rented the dvd and could not find the scene anywhere either. must only be on certain versions. we sat there like morons going through every single option on the dvd but that particular scene is not among the deleted scenes.

Didnt he get assasinated or something?

Nofear on Nov 10, 2008

72

Wow. It's there….it's not there… Who gives a crap! I hope that marvel keeps making good movies, I grew up with these superheroes and I love watching the remakes and the effects and I could care less about wether something is being done differently than the comics. Times change, we evolve, the comics were published back when the bible's first print was being edited and you expect the storyline to remain the same? New world, different times, different heroes. The first Batman movie made was different than the last one…I wonder why…. MADE 150MILLION YEARS AFTERWARD! or does someone think that adam west should have played in it… maybe he could be the new robin. Well whatever, I like the films and I hope that all the heroes fight and hulk ass spanks spiderman while wolverine seduces Ghost Rider's girlfriend into a threesome with him and the invisible girl to be filmed by Mr. Fantastic and and edited by Captain America. Booyah!
