'Community' Directors In The Race For 'Captain America 2?'
The Marvel film universe has become this weird sort of accordion. First we got several individual films showcasing each member of The Avengers separately, and then they were all crammed into one movie directed by Joss Whedon. Now we're about to enter the second wave of films in which the characters will once again be spread out into their own stories. Shane Black is bringing us 'Iron Man 3,' 'Game of Thrones' helmer Alan Taylor is set to direct 'Thor 2,' and now the hunt is on to lock in a director (or directors) for 'Captain America 2.' According to sources, it seems that the studio has narrowed it down to three options: George Nolfi ('The Adjustment Bureau'), F. Gary Gray ('The Italian Job'), and the team of Anthony and Joseph Russo (that's right, of 'Community'). A well connected insider claims that the reason these latter, unlikely candidates are still in the hunt is that Marvel Studios president of production, Kevin Feige, likes to make sure he gets along with people personally before he working with them. This "vibe guy" as the source calls him apparently hit it off big time with Anthony and Joseph. No official deal has been made yet, but the decision is due to be made by mid-April.
That sound you're hearing is thousands of geeks cheering at the possible union of two of their passions; I include myself in that celebration. While this seems like a bold new direction for Marvel, the studio has made several interesting choices with its choices in film directors. I mean, did anyone really think Jon Favreau (fresh off 'Elf' and 'Zathura') would be the right choice for 'Iron Man?' For that matter, who'd a thunk that acclaimed actor-turned-director Kenneth Branagh would be put in charge of a Thor movie? This isn't even a trend specific to Marvel, I remember a flurry of online dissent when Christopher Nolan was chosen to helm 'Batman Begins.' Sometimes it's just about the vision and the approach, and not about the previous body of work. The great thing about comic book movies is that filmmakers who are geeks for the material first deliver the best entries. I don't know whether the Russo Brothers are big fans of Captain America, but 'Community' is a show that caters to geeks with some of the smartest and most elaborate references ever crafted so I'm at least interested in what they would be able to do if put in charge of an actual superhero flick.
What do you guys think? Do you like the idea of the Russo Brothers for 'Captain America 2?' Joel McHale for Baron Zemo?

Where is Hulk's sequel? I would much rather want to see an "Incredible Hulk 2" than any other marvel sequel they're doing. And want it either done by the same director or some else who knows how to do good action movies.

There's so many different ways you can do a follow up to Captain America...just read Ed Brubaker's run the comic book and the possibilities are ENDLESS...
More than a super villain, I want something than just montages which was nauseating in the movie. There was ZERO character development to balance the movie. The purpose of taking Cap to the modern age was to show what a battle hardened man of war go do to guide to a listless country....
Course times have changed, we're so scared to waive a flag...that even a guy who is supposed to represent the good of the country is now seen as fascist. Sounds like a GREAT idea...but no, you won't get that.
I WANT more Red Skull. I felt the first movie was pretty much the ending from Alien "Out the airlock and into space" bullshit. I want Skull in the modern age arguing with Cap how America can be perceived as Imperialist as Germany...and how Cap sees it. THAT is the natural progression in answering the question, "Why the fuck should we root for a guy in a clown costume?"
The villain du jour is window dressing....they fucked up already with Zemo cause there's NO hatred to carry over as it would be in the comic.

I suppose Baron Zemo is the next obvious choice of adversary after the Red Skull. Still, I would love, love, LOVE to see at least a nod given to Captain America's greatest foe: Batroc the Leaper!

I imagine these two guys are geeks and must have read some Captain America comic books..maybe they are not huge fans...but they know about the Marvel Comic book universe....I say this will work very well

My whole reason for hating the Earth stuff on Thor was BECAUSE it was so god-awfully irritating. Had it actually been funny or clever, I wouldn't have minded.

Although it's very big, I think you should read the entirety of what I wrote. My problems with Thor had NOTHING to do with the mythology or anything like that. My problems were the poor direction, poor acting, terrible plot hole and dialogue, the crappy camera work, and even the bad editing.

I just pray to God that they get rid of Captain America's new outfit. I hope they burn it too.

Wait....Was the Baron Zemo thing a joke?

No offense, but I'm more interested that Baron ZEMO is in the movie. FREAKN' AWSOME!
Really makes me wonder HOW they are going to do his costume, though. I really like his original costume (both the Zemos), but the masses would probably think his costume is too "girly".

Whoever directs the Captain America sequel has a huge task on their hands. Considering the setting of the first film, the ‘sequel’ arguably won’t have anything to build on. They’ll now have to really work on the idea of a Captain America for the 21st century, and whilst I’m sure the Avengers film will explore this to an extent, a solo film will need to go more in depth whilst creating it’s own separate mini-universe.
Considering all this, I have to go for George Nolfi over the Russo brothers. Especially if he helps write the screenplay, I think Nolfi would be a brilliant choice. Whilst I adore Community, I’m just not sure on the Russo’s considering what the task ahead will be + when considering this could arguably be ill-suited for them (+ they did do you, me & dupree...)
