We’re four weeks away from the second part of Marvel Studio’s one-two super hero double punch, Captain America: The Firs Avenger, and the studio has just released what will probably be the last trailer for the film. This new trailer spends a good portion of its two-and-a-half minute runtime on Steve Rogers’ (Chris Evans) transformation into the titular superhero and is probably aimed more at the general public who will be buying tickets a month from now than it is to whip comics fans into an anticipatory frenzy months out from the release date. The latter part of the trailer focuses on the action in such a way that I think it is trying to distinguish itself from the recently lacklusterly received Green Lantern.
