The Captain America Bronze Statue At San Diego Comic Con, Unveiled

2016-07-20 (1)There's a petition to get the names of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon engraved on this bronze statue, to be erected in Brooklyn.

But for now, the covers have come off and it towers thirteen feet above the crowds….

Marvel has collaborated with Comicave Studios to create this statue,  displayed at the Marvel booth #2329, while 1/12-scale bronze replicas of the statue will be available for purchase. A custom comic book was created by Marvel  to integrate the statue into a new story, available in limited quantities at San Diego Comic-Con and future Captain America events.

The commemorative statue will then journey via truck across the country to Brooklyn, NY – the hometown of Steve Rogers – for a limited engagement in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

Fans can follow the truck along its cross-country route through photos on social media sites like Marvel and StyledByMarvel Instagram.

The statue will be on display in the Children's Corner of Prospect Park for a two-week temporary installation, kicking off with a dedication ceremony and community event on August 10th from 1-3pm.

In the evening, a special viewing of the recent blockbuster film, Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, will take place in Prospect Park as part of the culmination of the Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams' "A Summer Movie Under the Stars" program, which will be airing four Captain America-focused movies every Wednesday from July 20th to August 10th.

After the half-month stop in Prospect Park, the Captain America statue will move to the plaza outside Barclays Center on Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues for September, during which several Marvel fan activations take place. From late October through the remainder of the year, the statue will adorn the soon-to-be-opened Bed Bath & Beyond® in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
