Check out Captain America: The First Avenger concept art by Phil Saunders!

The superhero movie Captain America: The First Avenger is a huge hit and led to a whole slew of great movies including Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but there's some amazing artwork by Phil Saunders that would have made it just a little bit cooler. One set is from a deleted scene and another you could barely notice. Both were created by concept illustrator Phil Saunders.

Saunders is a professional concept artist who's worked on Hollywood films like Spider-Man 3 (2007), Iron Man (2008) and Tron: Legacy (2010).

The first artwork would have been used in a newsreel or flashback sequence of early HYDRA soldiers using "a squadron of these heavily modified Messerschmitt BF109's."

Phil described the second artwork to me saying, "The design was used near the end of the movie in an insert shot of a remote operated submersible Howard Stark uses to recover the Cosmic Cube. The basic design came from a pencil sketch by director Joe Johnston. I just fleshed it out into something that someone could model."

    Love the drawings. When I was a child, I never read The Avengers, and now I'm totally addicted. It's my second childhood. Okay, it's probably just a continuation, come to think of it.
