Captain America

Check out the new poster for Captain America (The First Avenger).

Captain America (2011)

Filmmaker Joe Johnston will take the helm of the eagerly anticipated Captain America movie.

The Jurassic Park III director has signed a deal with Marvel Studios to bring the comic book superhero to the big screen in 2011.

It is the third Marvel film in the pipeline, including Thor and the Avengers, after Robert Downey Jr.'s turn as Iron Man earlier in the year proved a huge success with superhero fans.

Although Johnstone has signed the deal, it is unknown who will take on the patriotic U.S. role.

Comic book creator Stan Lee has given his backing to Will Smith to wear the red, white and blue suit, although other insiders have suggested Matthew McConaughey may land the part.

(Captain) America, F**K Yeah!

I just stumbled across this funny video whilst surfing YouTube. Its made using clips from the (awful) Captain America film made in 1990 and the theme to the brilliant Team America: World Police.

A new adaptation of Captain America is planned for a 2009 release, no information about who's playing the lead is available at the moment though.
