Joe Johnston speaks on how CAPTAIN AMERICA fits into Marvel continuity

Somebody at Marvel Studios must have put some talk-lax in the water cooler, because it seems no one can keep their mouths shut. Thank you rouge laxer, whoever you are! Without you, Joss Whedon never would have talked about THE AVENGERS not once, but twice. There is no way Stanley Tucci would have let us know a bit about working on the set of CAPTAIN AMERICA.

This time we have CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER director Joe Johnston talking about how the film fits into the continuity Marvel studios has created. Check out what he had to say after the break. Continue reading “Joe Johnston speaks on how CAPTAIN AMERICA fits into Marvel continuity” →

THE AVENGERS now has a start date

THE AVENGERS is probably the biggest film event of the year (well, of 2012). It truly is the definition of event cinema, and is the culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of filmmakers. It’s almost hard to believe that it is really happening, especially to a Marvel fanatic like myself.

I know, I know. What a day for news like this to come out, it’s an awful shame.

But IESB is claiming that Joss Whedon is on the short list to direct Marvel’s THE AVENGERS, and assuring that this news is not a joke.

Louis Leterrier on a shortlist to direct THE AVENGERS?

There’s really no telling how close we are to an announcement on who will be directing THE AVENGERS. Cries by fanboys everywhere (myself included) were pleading for Jon Favreau to take the job, but he announced he will only be executive producer. After that, talk of directors dispelled mostly, until now. While speaking to Ain’t It Cool, THE INCREDIBLE HULK director Louis Leterrier said he might be on board.
