The Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) are in final negotiations to direct Captain America 2 according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Russos are known for their television comedy work (Community, Happy Endings.)
Chris Evans returns as the Star Spangled Avenger April 14, 2014. No word on story but I’m hoping for a big screen version of The Winter Soldier by Ed Brubaker.
Chris Evans wields the shield but he may have two directors yelling “action” for him to throw it! Marvel is closing in on a director for the sequel. Vulture reports that Anthony and Joe Russo (director/producers brothers of comedies: Community, Happy Endings, Arrested Development) are in the running. F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job remake, The Negotiator, Friday) and George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau) are on the short list.
Thanks Spinoff Online.
This Geek’s Opinion: Have Faith in the Feige. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has a track record of turning surprise choices into hit movies. I have two more words to say about Captain America 2: WINTER SOLDIER.
Now this really is the “All New, All Different X-Men!”
I came across this clever depiction of the cast of the NBC comedy Community as the X-Men on BuzzFeed. Artist Aviv Or illustrated this excellent version of Greendale’s finest students as Marvel’s Merry Mutants! What do you think?
