One of the hardest things to
achieve in a superhero movie is the wardrobe as it can easily and quickly
become a Halloween costume.
Speaking to SFX, co-director Joe Russo
explained the reason for the change of Cap’s costume alteration.
"It was about a real world
grounding approach to the character, in the spirit of Ed Brubaker's book, which
is postmodern and deconstructionist and a grounded thriller. We wanted to put
Cap in a space where he's a special forces operative for SHIELD who goes on
missions around the world that are clandestine and sometimes require a certain
level of anonymity or stealth. We wanted to use his Super Soldier outfit from
the comic books as a way to represent, thematically, his place in the world of
SHIELD and the difference between working for SHIELD and being Captain America.
That's something that gets explored on a very concrete level in terms of what
outfits are used in the film. We didn't feel like we were messing with the
icon. People can say that they’re fans of the books if they're only loyal to
the '60s and '70s version of the character – well, then you're a fan of that
version of the character, but if you've been reading the books till the current
runs then this is a journey that the character goes on and it’s a pretty
explicit journey. We just felt like we were being faithful to the more recent
issues of the books. The movie has a very thematic component in terms of the
use of costumes. When you come to see the film I think you'll understand why we
made the choice we made…"
