As you all should know Marvel is making a Captain America movie which should be hitting theatres in May of 2011. Now from those nice folks at IESB comes word about the plot and timeline of the film;
IESB asked Feige if the Captain America film would be a period piece. He confirmed yes, the story will take place during World War II, just like the comic book origin story. He says they plan to remain very faithful to the source material and completely traditional.
Feige also confirmed that it was definitely the Captain America shield that was seen in IRON MAN on Tony Stark’s work-station as he’s removing his suit for the first time. It’s just an Easter Egg and probably won’t have anything to do with the Capt. America story
There is a rumor that Matthew McConaughey is going to be tapped to play the Cap. To me I think this is very poor casting since Matthew McConaughey is not by any means my choice for a superhero character. Then again I wouldnt have tapped Christian Bale to play Batman and he did a stand out job. What do you think?
