The First Avenger: Captain America plot revealed?

We're all concerned about the upcoming Captain America film. Who will be cast as Captain America? Who will direct it? Will it be part of the new Marvel film universe? These are all valid questions, and it seems that the most obvious question may have just been answered. Production Weekly has a keen ability for gathering plot synopses for countless films prior to their filming. One of those synopses that just appeared on the site regards The First Avenger: Captain America. I will warn you not to read ahead if you're worried about spoilers but honestly, if the synopsis is to be believed, there is nothing major here in terms of spoilers. Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment… Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the 'Super-Soldier Serum' and bombarded by 'vita-rays.' Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and leader of the Avengers. Could this be the Captain America film we really want to see? The synopsis seems to be straight out of the comic book, so at first glance it seems that the creators actually know what they're doing with this film. What the synopsis doesn't note however is who Cap will be facing as the villain. It definitely appears to be a period piece, so I suppose that we can expect to see a fight with Red Skull and Cap being cryogenically frozen after winning. I'm already picturing the after credits scene now: The scene is Alaska, present day. The shot is on a series of cryogenically frozen capsules, and as the camera pans you read on one of the capsules "Stark Laboratory #4256." The door opens, and in walks Tony Stark who isn't even wearing a coat because he has the Scotch to keep him warm. He walks over to one of the capsules and says "this is the one," pointing to the one holding Steve Rogers. And boom. We have an segway into the Avengers movie.
