Marvel and Disney announce Captain America 2 for 2014

By

Considering that both Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 have already been announced, it should come as no surprise that Captain America: The First Avenger will be getting a sequel. 

According to Walt Disney Studios, the second Captain America film will be released on April 4, 2014. Apparently, the second installment will pick-up after the events in Marvel’s The Avengers. Steve Rogers will continue his struggles in the modern world, while dealing with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

So far we can only confirm that Chris Evans will be returning as Rogers, and that Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (writers of Captain America: The First Avengers) are going to write the screenplay. No director has been attached, but we wouldn’t mind seeing Joe Johnston get behind the camera again–although rumor has him involved with next year’s Jurassic Park IV first.

“A political thriller of the ’70s” is how Kevin Feige, the man in charge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, described the new Captain America movie his studio was releasing in the spring of 2014. At the time, it seemed like an awfully highfalutin point of reference for a film about a defrosted patriotic superhero who chucks his shield at bad guys. Hadn’t James Mangold tried the same tack a year prior, dubiously citing Ozu as a major influence on his Marvel adaptation The Wolverine? Couldn’t these guys just admit they were making capeshit?
