Captain America!

I figured it'd be fun (just about up there with The Rocketeer) but it's the funnest of the summer. Standup two-fisted heroics, hyper-Nazis, great effects, heartfelt emotion and a catchy song.

Lots of little geek callouts, from the Synthetic Man to Zola's first appearance to the Wilhelm Scream to Rosie The Riveter.

Also, Hayley Atwell and Dominic Cooper together again for I believe the first time since The Watch House.

Trailers: Tom Hardy as a UFC fighter, Dominic Cooper as Uday Hussein and his double, Rosamund Pike as the Bond girl in Johnny English 2. And Troll Hunter, which doesn't feature anyone who was ever in The Watch House.

Oh, and The Avengers! It ain't even done filming yet. It's a long way till May.

Lavinia (Classics Society rival of Natalie's) and Chris (unstudious boozy Watcher fresher in S6).

Not major characters by any stretch, although Chris hooked up with Simon's back-from-the-dead sister and lamped Andy that time he went berserk and tried to kill them both, and Lavinia was Simon's girlfriend in the nightmare future episode.
