If it's crap... We'll tell you

Marvel Studios is in negotiations with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to write First Avenger: Captain America, which will be directed by Joe Johnston.


Created in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon for Timely Comics, Captain America is the heroic alter ego of Steve Rogers, who is rejected by the Army for being too sickly and undergoes an experiment that takes him to the pinnacle of human form. Paired with an indestructible shield, he becomes a symbol of the war effort, fighting Nazis and villainous scientists like the Red Skull.

In modern times, the character starred in his own long-running comic series and also was a charter member of Marvel's superteam, the Avengers.

Marvel's "Captain America" will be set in World War II and the character will appear in modern day-set The Avengers.

Markus and McFeely worked on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and its sequel, "Prince Caspian." The duo also wrote HBO's "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers."

Here's the ending: On the way back, Cap's plane crashes, and he freezes underwater. After the credits, because marvel always puts something after the credits, they show Fury pulling Cap's ice cube out of the water with that cocky half-grin on his face.

I personally liked Narnia enough to say this still has me excited. Not my first pick for directors, but they could do it.

imagnie how stupid captain america is. think of how we would react if there was a superhero named like.."Captain Russia" or "Doctor North Korea" hahahahaha i wonder if little chinese boys and girls like "Captain America"

look at this guy! he has a shield and costume made out of the american flag... what a stupid superhero, and his big catch is that he can 'throw the shield...' gay! and as if that werent enough, they're going to RUIN Iron Man by putting him in a damn avengers movie... DAMN HOLLYWOOD

watchmen better kick ass... like so much ass that it would make u for Spiderman 3
(which is a lot of ass by the way.)
if anyone can do it, its Zach Snyder

The Austin Spill Party 2009 is coming along nicely. I've already got a few things in the works. Now all I need is an idea about how many people will be there.
