Sega has announced that it has signed Captain America: The First Avenger star Chris Evans to voice the lead role for their upcoming Captain America: Super Soldier. His likeness will be used in the game, where Captain America faces Red Skull and his Hydra agents. The third-person action game tasks players to defeat Iron Cross, Baron Strucker and Madame Hydra with a combination of melee attacks and shield tosses.

“Signing Chris to star in Captain America: Super Soldier delivers the cinematic quality and emotional drive that fans expect,” said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Sega of Europe and Sega of America. “Chris will help fuel the character’s mission as he battles through the enormous Hydra castle full of legendary villains in a completely original story.”

Captain America: Super Soldier  will release in 2011 for PS3, DS, Wii and Xbox 360.
