Well it may not have a director yet, but the followup to 2011's hit Captain America at least has a release date."Walt Disney Studios" just announced that Captain America 2 will be released in theaters April 4, 2014.* The press release states that the film will pick up directly after the events of The Avengers which opens up less than a month from now. Apparently Cap will still be affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D. and director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson.)**
While I'm not a huge fan of Captain America it will be interesting to see how a 1940s superhero adapts to the 21st century. If they don't do this right the story could come off pretty hokey. So hokey in fact that Captain America's shield might not even be able to deflect the negative criticism. No other news right now on casting or a screenwriter but stay tuned.
*Incidentally Iron Man 3 will release next year May 3rd followed by Thor 2 on November 15th.
**Should the sub-title for the second Captain America movie be "I'm tired of these motherf***ing villains on this motherf***king plane!"?
