When he eventually comes back as The Maker
Cool little note: if you do end up seeing Captain America in IMAX there’s a little cool bonus thing they do for this movie. Nothing crazy or anything to make you go see Cap in IMAX, but it tells you that Marvel is all in on this movie
Man, he really would’ve been the perfect Reed for the MCU if the 2015 film never happened

Retro futuristic is so fire man
Need that trailer
We gotta be getting that new footage today…right?
Maybe they’ll drop it at 4pm today, or at 4:44pm
My hype for this just keeps growing. I can already tell I’m going to really love this
The film, says director Matt Shakman, is looking to evoke the optimistic spirit of the 1950s and 1960s. “This is very much about the spirit of the Space Race,” says Shakman. “It's about JFK and optimism. It’s imagining these four going into space instead of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. This idea is that they are the most famous people in America, because they’re adventurers, explorers, astronauts — not because they're superheroes. And they come back and they're superheroes on top of it. But primarily they're astronauts, they're family.”
Shakman — whose previous credit in the MCU was directing the similarly retro WandaVision — was keen to make the film feel plucked from that time, or at least a fantasy MCU version. “I really wanted to go with as grounded a version of space as possible,” he says. “So, no wormholes. Their tech is very much retro-future, but it's also booster rockets. It’s a combination of Marvel and Apollo 11.”
That philosophy extended into how the film itself was made. “I really wanted it to feel like it was made in 1965, the way Stanley Kubrick would have made it,” says Shakman. “Within reason.” There is, he says, an emphasis on practical sets and props — the production included a 14-foot-tall spaceship miniature, similar to how Kubrick used miniatures on 2001: A Space Odyssey — and Shakman and his team have “used old lenses, and taken an approach to filmmaking that feels more of the time. Of course, we still have a lot of CG.”
This film, it’s clear, will feel different to other MCU entries. Significantly, it exists separate from everything that we’ve seen in the franchise so far. “We are our own universe,” says Shakman. “Which is wonderful and liberating. There's really no other superheroes. There's no Easter eggs. There's no running into Iron Man or whatever. They're it, in this universe. I love the interconnected Marvel Universe, but we get to do something so new and so different. Eventually this world will meet up with other worlds — but for now this is our own little corner.”

Sounds like the much needed refresher for the MCU. They put care and heart into this film, and of course it will be a IMAX classic. Imagine the crispy audio with the vibrant yet classic visuals, it really Weill set itself apart from the normal mcu films.
Getting Fallout 4 vibes from the concept art
Same! And even in the movie, some of the footage of Pedro filming old timey science educational footage
Anything where it’s like in universe vintage science, educational videos, in universe advertisements etc is all very pleasing to me as someone who’s tastes were shaped by fallout as a kid
