First Avenger: Captain America News

During San Diego Comic Con, Marvel's President of Production, Kevin Feige spoke about a lot of things. One of them was the upcoming film, The First Avenger: Captain America. The last movie to come out following Iron Man 2 and Thor before The Avengers film hits theaters in 2012.

There are no casting decisions being made because screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are only about "half way done" with the script and director Joe Johnston doesn't join production until October. However Feige did have a few things to talk about in regards to Cap's origin story.

Setting it in World War II — the Marvel version of World War II — I think is gonna open it up in another big way ... What's funny is it will actually end up being, I think, our most diverse and our most international film, in terms of the content of the movies itself. It takes place overseas much more than any of our other films do. In terms of the cast, there's a group that Steve [Rogers] works with that will have an opportunity for many more international actors than any of our other films.

He also had a few words in regards to some villains that might appear.

We are gonna explore those aspects of World War II that made Cap special: the Super Soldier program, Red Skull, Hydra, all of those things that exist in the Marvel version of it. As you know if you read the comic books, the origin of Captain America is really the origin of the Marvel universe ... it's about that time in history when the idea of the superhero began to emerge.

Even Gods Get Down

Hey kids. Do you remember issue #83 of Journey Into Mystery? Of course you do. That was the first time we ever met Jane Foster. Why is that important? I'll tell you.

All the buzz surrounding the upcoming THOR film has just gotten louder with Natalie Portman being cast as Jane Foster, Dr. Donald Blake/THOR's love interest. Portman will star along side Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki in the Kenneth Branagh directed film.

While I am trying to be optimistic about this film because the Avengers related material seems to done well, I can't help but think back to X-Men Origins: Wolverine and cringe a little bit. I'm not going into Thor with high hopes. No, those I save for The First Avenger: Captain America.
