'Community's Russo Brothers Chosen To Direct 'Captain America 2'
Back in March, it was reported that Marvel had narrowed its search for 'Captain America 2' directors down to three options, one of which was the team of Anthony and Joe Russo of NBC's 'Community.' They seemed like the longshot, but many of us were pulling for them. Now it seems as if they've emerged as the studio's top choice. The two are in final negotiations with Marvel, solidifying their deal to helm the film. On top of this little news nugget, a recent photo from the set of 'Iron Man 3' has given us a possible hint as to who Cap'n may be facing in his next outing. Take a gander...
What does this seemingly innocuous piece of set dressing have to do with Captain America? Late last summer, 'Captain America: The First Avenger' screenwriter Christopher Markus, who will purportedly also be co-writing the sequel, stated that he wanted the sinister and creepy-looking MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) to be the next villain, but was having trouble convincing the studio that this was the right move. He also stated he wanted Peter Dinklage ('Game of Thrones') to play the role. MODOK was created by the nefarious company Advanced Idea Mechanics whose logo is pictured above. He tangled with Iron Man on occasion, but he was a frequent foe of Captain America. Does this hint that Markus has convinced Marvel to go forward with MODOK once 'Captain America 2' gets rolling?
Ok, first off, I'm glad to see the Russo Brothers won the job. As I said before, the complex and fearless geekiness demonstrated on 'Community' could be a powerful asset to a superhero film. I have no doubt these guys are fans of the character and have some great ideas, otherwise, as the clear underdogs, they wouldn't have had a chance. Now, as to the AIM sign, obviously we are looking at 'Iron Man 3' set photos and making assumptions about other films, but then again, Marvel has been so concerned over the last four years with interweaving and interconnecting its various superhero worlds into one enormous universe. I'm not saying this is assured proof that MODOK is going to be the villain in 'Captain America 2,' in fact it could very well be some sort of re-purposing for the sake of the 'Extremis' storyline or just a background head nod to other properites, but it is an interesting coincidence given what we know of Markus' intentions for the Cap sequel. I'm not a huge fan of MODOK, but if they do cast Peter Dinklage, you can bet every ounce of Lannister gold that I will be sitting eagerly in the theater the day 'Captain America 2' comes out.
What do you guys think? Happy the Russo Brothers were chosen to direct? Think we'll see MODOK in 'CapAm 2?'

Maybe instead of having MODOK be a giant head with tiny limbs they could rework him into being an advanced A.I. similar to JARVIS from the Iron Man films. I don't know, but it's just a thought.

I think it has potential with dinklage but othewise it'll prolly be like the thor movie. Not bad, just kinda decent. But who the hell knows they could go eight different directions from here.

@joseph: You also have to factor that Superman's opponents can usually level cities by themselves AT LEAST...while Cap's villains are usually either skill-based fighters or heads of evil organizations. Also, Cap doesn't have superpowers either. He just has a perfect human body...and can't get drunk easily....that's about it.

Obviously I'm not Magi, but if I had to add my two cents it would be that Rogers is more vulnerable. Superman always feels so powerful I'm rarely ever fearful for his safety, and it doesn't seem like he's taking that huge of a risk. But when Cap is standing up to a being like Galactus or Thanos it seems he's taking a far greater risk, since he lacks most of that power, and thus translates to more apparent heroism and courage.Kind of like Batman, in that regard, though Batman takes it to the extreme in that he actually has NO superpowers at all.

Don't like the Russo brothers,can't understand why marvel didn't pick George Nolfi he seems like the perfect choice.Until i see footage i can't really say how this will turn out.

Didn't the Dean from Community win an Oscar recently?
@Magi
I'm not really sure what the issue is with MODOK, he looks ridiculous and has a lame name in a world where people have gamma induced rage triggered super strength, also he always had my full attention whenever he turned up onscreen in the Avengers cartoon. But he's not a physical villain so there'll be someone else. Good praise for Rogers but what about Clark Kent?

MODOK?!? REALLY?!? Who's fucking idea was it to include the killer talking head in this film...
("reads Peter Dinklage would play the role")
GODSDAMNIT!!!!!! YOU MADE ME CARE! I WANT TO SEE THIS NOW! FUCK YOU MARVEL AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Ok seriously, I figure there is a way to work MODOK in and it doesn't require the giant gold chair. More of a mutated Dinklage sitting on a hover platform, the sad result of another Super Soldier failure (established as the reason now for the Hulk), could work a bit better. Throw in resentment for the perfect body Rogers got, and the pity Steve will feel knowing what it's like to feel like you got the short end of the stick...and for him. NOT because Dinklage is small, but because of the end result of the experiment.
The next film really needs to focus a LOT on Rogers adapting to a far more cynical world, and what being a living symbol means in it. He is the everyman hero, ready to fight injustice no matter who it is...even if it comes from the country he represents. The spy/plup action/one against the odds stories have always been his strength, as is the man himself. when Cap stands for something greater than himself, for a cause worthing of fighting and dying for...THAT'S the Cap I love.
He's the man that would shake Galactics' hand if he arrived peacefully, and the first one to punch him in the nose when he tires to eat the planet. He would stick that shield and his own body between a threat and anyone regardless of who or what they are because...its the right thing to do. Cap is our chance to show a real superhero BEING a real superhero without the emo, mopey baggage we see WAY too much. Just a really good guy, doing what he can to help, without need of thanks or praise.
...and punching Nazis....

Ooh, Baron Zemo would be great! That way, it can tie-in with the Thunderbolt movie.
This is all wishful thinking of course
