Today, Marvel gives us our first look at the one-of-a-kind, larger-than-life Captain America statue that they made in partnership with Comicave Studios, which goes on display at the Marvel Booth at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2016, July 20th.
After Comic Con, the statue sets forth for Steve Rogers' hometown of Brooklyn, New York where it will stay in Prospect Park for a couple weeks.
Sadly enough Chris Evans wasn't compelled to share his headshot that accompanied the glorious cover letter, but who knows maybe all this press heat will convince him otherwise..

Suffice to say, Haley Atwell did not approve of Steve Roger's romantic antics in Captain America: Civil War.

The massive reveal has been in the works for more than a year.
Kind of interesting to think about how this will impact the wider scope of the Marvel Universe, don't you think? The fact that someone named Captain America is literally revealed as having a perverse allegiance to an organization with these beliefs. A few of my favorite reactions from the internet to this news, to surface so far:
