If Marvel were at one point concerned that Captain America: The First Avenger would fail to find an audience outside of the U.S. (due to the hero’s nationalistic leanings) there is no evidence of it in their new poster and trailer, which go out of their way to push Cappy’s American-ness (Americanity? Ameriquity?). The new […]
