Fans can now see Captain America: The Winter Soldier on blu-ray at home but the Russo brothers are hard at work on the next sequel starring the Star-Spangled Avenger.
Joe and Anthony successfully brought the World War II era hero into the modern age with shades of 1970’s conspiracy thrillers.
How will the brothers top the success of the movie that shook up the status quo of the entire Marvel Universe?
“We can’t talk about it yet, obviously, because we haven’t done the announcement yet, but we think it’s coming very shortly. Look, our job, as fans of the genre, lifelong fans of the genre — by genre, I mean comic book films — is to, like I said earlier, blow people’s minds the same way that you want your mind blown sitting in a movie theater. And the competition is so fierce right now. What do we have, like, 97 superhero films coming out in the next few years? So you have to bring your A — you can’t just bring your A-game. You’ve got to bring your A-plus-plus game.
We’ve been hard at work for the last five or six months, trying to craft what the vision of “Cap 3” will be, and hopefully, when people find out what we’re up to, they’ll freak out. Again, because that’s the job. So we will say that the tone will — Cap will keep existing in the same Universe, which is the grounded Universe that we like, the grounded sandbox that we like playing with him in. As to whether it will be a thriller, people have to wait and see, but it will still live in that grounded Universe, ” Joe Russo told Comic Book Resources.
Chris Evans returns as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. Captain America 3 hits May 2016.
