What a week for movie geeks! First there was the official pic of Andrew Garfield as Spider-man. Now, thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we get to ogle the first, shiny, crisp photo of Chris Evans in full Captain America gear.

A first glance shows us the uniform is actually a significant departure from the classic Capt. America costume we've come to know throughout the years.Though its physical features are actually toned down a bit, this one looks more like a pimped-out WWII paratrooper's suit with all kinds of period buckles, leather pouches and straps. Gone are the protruding wings on the side of the head and the shoulder-to-shoulder star emblazoned across the chest, replaced by much more modest versions. Also, the shield is a bit different (and better) from the one we saw previously.

Captain America: The First Avenger is slated for release on July 22 of this year. The film also stars Hugo Weaving, Stanley Tucci, and Tommy Lee Jones.

Enjoy!
