As long as Johnston captures the essence of WWII similar to Band of Brothers with Cap, I think these will be great.

Even I pretend that 90´s movie never happened. They should sell it in a two-pack with the 90´s Fantastic Four and call the box-set “Marvel Comedy”…

Is it too late to get Favereau to do TFA Captain America? Oh man this Johnston guy is making me nervous. :/

It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction?! I hope they don´t screw up…

Yeah, Incredible Hulk was far superior to Ang Lee's mess of a film…

Magnus, let me know if this is still an issue – I made some changes to the site today that hopefully will address that sort of problem… (I hope).

The Hulk was solid, I don't think you can make a better film about that character.

As for the Lead Role for Cap...
I've given this a lot of thought, Actor ages, experiences, 'looks the part', (esp 'can pull it off') I've come up with a single choice:

Mark Valley (Christopher Chance) in FOX's 'Human Target'

He can handle the lead roll, stunts, humor, action and above all I think that 'making us believe he IS Captain America' is his strongest suit.
Please let me know what you think! I've got his Shield to work on...

All the Best,

You mean I cant like nature and all things related and still love and support my country with a big stick?

Whats more political then a war? Politics failed...war was inevitable.

Also Cap has changed a little/lot since he was created even in the comics.

Could you explain how it would recieve bad press?

Ya this is my most anticpated comic movie for sure it can truly be epic and awsome and real bad at the same time real easy if they start throwing political stuff in there. back when this charactor was created peoples perception of America was very different. Back when people had pride in there country now we have to many treehuggers so i can see this movie getting alot of bad press.

I agree and disagree... there is being strict, bending a little then breaking it completely.

While Capt America could be the quintessential "kid fitting in" (becasue of his stature he could not fit into the Military so he agreed to help in other ways just so he could) those words make it sound like a, dare I say it, Twilight type film.

The backbone of Captain America can stay true to the source material. Not be hard for the general public to swallow and still be exciting.

Why people have to go off and say stuff like:
It’s not going to be a Captain America that you expect. It’s something different. It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction.

Is beyond me. Who is "you" in that you? Is it my wife that as long as there is action and a decent story could care less if Steve Rogers was abducted by aliens and given his powers to fight the Japanese after the Trade Center disaster?

Or is the "you" people that knew Captain America was around during the WW as a fighter for Truth Justice in the American way using "super powers" gained from the Military..

Or is the "you" people like me that know a lot more about the Captain, his loves, his origins, leadership ability, super powers, no super powers, WW, Invaders etc...

Maybe he was referring to the people that do not expect a true "Cap" origin. To be the Captain we know he had to have had experience (tactical, leadership, fighting, "smarts", etc) before he washed up as a Red, White and Blue popsicle. "We" know how and where he got this others dont.

And yes The Rocketeer was excellent. You could almost believe you were reading a Stevens book without having to flip the page.

Surely this needs to focus on the origin story, that is Captain America story. And the WW2 setting is going to make this very interesting. Its nice to see chances being taken rather than sticking with the safe stuff.

Some Superheroes dont require an origin because it is so engrained in the worlds psyche, like Superman or Spiderman, but to be honest Captain America isnt as well know as a lot of heroes, and needs this origin story.
