He's already in the biggest movie so far this year. So how else is Captain America celebrating turning 75? By getting a new statue in his beloved hometown.
For the superhero’s anniversary, Marvel is unveiling a 13-foot-tall bronze Cap at San Diego Comic-Con (July 20-24) before it heads east on a cross-country trip and lands in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for a dedication ceremony on Aug. 10.
Of course, the dude's a natural for such an honor. “For the past 75 years, Captain America has inspired generations of fans serving as the ultimate global icon for freedom, strength and doing the right thing,” says Paul Gitter, senior vice president of licensing for Marvel at Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media.
