Nordling here.
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but Latino Review is reporting today that the screenwriters for the first CAPTAIN AMERICA film, Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, have already been hired by Marvel to pen the sequel. I'm assuming that feedback from the Super Bowl trailer's been tremendous, and since the character's not going anywhere with the first film and THE AVENGERS on the horizon, it makes sense to get these guys booked now and not later.
No word on whether or not it takes place modern day or in World War II. I'm actually hoping for the latter. Sure, we know how the first film's likely going to end, but who's to say there aren't more adventures between the climax of the first film and the Rogersicle? I haven't read the script, so I don't know. It may lead directly to the freezing. But if it doesn't, Cap's war years would definitely be fun to explore, especially with Ed Brubaker's retconning of Bucky Barnes, as it looks like it's that iteration of the character we're getting in THE FIRST AVENGER. Either way, Captain America fans should be very happy indeed.
Nordling, out.
