'Captain America' Gets it's Writers?
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
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."

They have an Emmy for HBO's "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers." And they wrote the black comedy "You Kill Me."
And to their credit, I only saw "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" and thought it wasn't too bad. I'm planning to see "Prince Caspian" just in time for the Winter Holidays.
Overall, it's a hit or miss.
