Thanks to a heads up from 'Tim Harris', we have these two new images which are featured on the back of the official Captain America: The First Avenger calendar available for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk. Unfortunately, the other 10 months are all pictures we've seen before, but it hopefully won't be too long until Marvel release the following in a far more satisfying hi-res format. With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, Stanley Tucci as Abraham Erskine and Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark, Captain America: The First Avenger will be released in 3D on July 22, later this year!
