Captain America 2 Will Be Set "Primarily" In Modern Day

With Captain America: The First Avenger hitting DVD and Blu-ray this Tuesday, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have been making the press rounds. In a conversation today with The HD Room, the pair reiterated that the sequel will stick mostly to the filmic Marvel Universe's present day.

"I think it's safe for us to say that it's primarily set in the modern day," says Markus. "That seems to have been the biggest question people have been wondering about regarding the sequel... [W]e've been left with room to explore Cap entering the modern day wondering, 'What is all this? What's happened to the world' and so on."

"We made a movie where the world was in context for Steve Rogers," adds McFeely. "It was a movie where it was a more pure time, where there were clearly black-and-white, right-and-wrong, good-and-evil scenarios. And Cap is a guy who symbolizes that. Now he's in the now, and there is nothing black-and-white. So what do you do with that guy? How does he react to a much more uncertain time? So you're given this huge new palate to work with, but you can keep him the same."

Chris Evans' Captain America next appears in Marvel's The Avengers on May 4, 2012. Unfortunately, it may be a bit before his next solo adventure. Evans recently revealed that Captain America 2 will probably have to wait until 2014.

still love the grenade scene XD

In real life, who would jump in front of a greade for anyone....aside from Bruno Mars . That scene was too over the top ridiculous imo.

The Russo Brothers Nab Captain America 2 Directing Gig



Last we heard, a trio of directors were in contention to helm Marvel’s sequel to “Captain America: The First Avenger”, now that original director Joe Johnston had said adios. The frontrunners for the cushy gig were down to three names: F. Gary Gray (“Law Abiding Citizen”), George Nolfi (“The Adjustment Bureau”), and brothers Anthony and Joseph Russo.

It appears the Russo brothers have beat out both Nolfi and Gray, and are now close to “finalizing” a deal to direct the comic book sequel.

The Russos are an odd choice to direct. They are known primarily for comedies (“You, Me & Dupree”) and TV sitcoms like “Community”, “Happy Endings”, and “Arrested Development”. Not exactly the kind of resume that would lend itself to a big-budget slam-bang comic book action movie. Then again, Marvel seems to go out of their way to make these “out there” hires. Whoever thought Kenneth Branagh would make a great “Thor” director? Or Shane Black on “Iron Man 3″?

Personally, I would have loved to see what Nolfi could do with the material. He’s one of the “Bourne” movie writers, and his directorial debut, “The Adjustment Bureau” was pretty good.

Chris Evans is set to return as superhsoldier Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, due in theaters the Summer of 2014. Last we saw the good Captain, he had been transported to the modern world, and he’s expected to stay here for his further adventures.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Announced



As we hoped, Marvel confirmed at Comic Con that the Captain America sequel will be titled “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, an awesome, fanboy pleasing film title which confirms the direction of what we had expected the follow-up to go down in.

The Winter Soldier is of course a storyline Marvel fans will be very familiar with and without spoiling anything (the trailer and plot synopsis will tell you more than I’m going to reveal below) the film will see the return of Bucky Barnes (played by Sebastien Stan), Cap’s best friend and fellow WWII soldier who was thought to have been killed when he fell from that train in last year’s Captain America: The First Avenger.

The comics storyline followed a Russian patrol submarine finding Bucky’s cold-preserved body in the snow, minus an arm and when they revived him in Moscow, it is diagnosed that he is suffering from amnesia. They give him a bionic arm and they program him to become a Soviet Assassin for Department X (under the codename Winter Soldier), becoming a ruthless killer in the name of the Russian state. He is kept on cryogenic stasis when not on missions, so has only aged a few years in over half a century.

All of this will undoubtedly be in the sequel for how Bucky enters the contemporary world and can square off against Captain America (Chris Evans) again in the future.



We imagine Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and S.H.I.E.L.D. will have been tracking the Winter Soldier for years (i.e. – his missions post-World War II for Russia) but doesn’t know it’s Bucky Barnes. In the comics he also had a relationship with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) which we guess could be played up and make for some interesting intrigue. Perhaps this is why Scarlett Johansson is not in the currently filming Iron Man 3, instead crossing over into Captain America 2 instead.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (NOTE – no numerical titles there… makes you wish the Iron Man sequels got cool sub-headings) will hit theatres April 4th, 2012 and we can expect to hear some more concrete details by the end of the year. It will be directed by Anthony & Joe Russo, two comedy directors responsible for You, Me and Dupree and Welcome to Colinwood …. which has us a little terrified quite honestly and we mourn the fact Joe Johnston isn’t returning… but they couldn’t have picked a better and more logical follow-up after the first film.

Why did they hire comedy director to make it??? The audience now are into dark movies.
