Marvel Finally Decides To Promote “Captain America” With New Poster and Trailer Dan Koelsch, June 24, 2011June 24, 2011 Marvel Studio’s last movie before the superhero team-up movie The Avengers is next month’s Captain America: The First Avenger. However, despite the film being just weeks away from opening, the studio, along with distributor Paramount, have really dropped the ball on marketing it. We haven’t seen much promotional material, and up until today there had only been one full trailer, and even it only showed a few seconds of Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) in the suit.

The Avengers, set to be released next summer, has all these heroes team up to fight Thor’s mischievous brother Loki, Captain America’s arch nemesis Red Skull, and more.
