The First Avenger: Captain America - Movie in the making

After the initial preview of new Iron Man 2, the producers revealed its new project at the Comic-Con and this time, Marvel Studios has officially announced that the upcoming movie originally based from animated tv series, The First Avenger: Captain America.

Set in World War II, story of Steve Rogers who was born in great depression together with his poor family. Inspired to enlist in the army but due to his frailty and sickness, he was rejected and took part as a volunteer in a special experiment by General Chester Phillips named, "Operation:Rebirth."

program. His first assignment: Captain America, armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, he continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and leader of the Avengers.

Comicbookmovie revealed that Joe Johnston will direct the much awaited superhero flick. As a first timer to direct such kind of genre, his expertise in visual effects and directing skills will be a great help to make it a quality movie. As we remembered, he brought Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Jumanji and Jurassic Part III.

According to Marvel Studios exec Kevin Feige, the potential villains as follows:

“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.”

Feige, who was wearing a Marvel hat in case anyone forgot where he works, indicated that they're “about halfway though” developing the script, with a target date of June 2010 for the start of production. As far as casting is concerned, don’t expect any major announcements until October, when director Joe Johnston (The Wolf Man, Hidalgo) joins the production full-time.

Can a period-based comic book flick succeed in a genre dominated by glossy, futuristic films? And is The First Avenger: Captain America the latest example of franchise-obsessed Hollywood's disturbing trend towards comic book flicks with annoyingly cumbersome titles? We'll just have to wait and see, true believers.

Still no word as to who might play the star-spangled patriot, but rumors have abounded, including Matthew McConaughey, Leonardo DiCaprio and even African American Will Smith. However, nothing has been confirmed. This Marvel movie will be penned by Zak Penn and is looking at a May 6, 2011 release.
