returning to sit in the director’s chair but will likely return in a producing capacity. In an interview with Collider, Kevin Feige suggested that Thor 2 will continue to explore Thor’s newfound maturity, his changing relationship with his father, Odin, and adopted brother Loki. Feige was also keen to state that there would be a better focus on Thor’s relationship with Jane Foster. Interestingly there is this nice little quote: “We’re acknowledging that that love story in the first movie was sort of a quick crush, essentially, over the course of three quick days in the middle of the desert.” So looks like we’ll get more drama and lest hammy stuff this time around. Slashfilm also got some quotes from Chris Hemsworth about the setting of the next Thor film. In particular, how Alan Taylor is planning to give Asgard a more organic Viking feel than
the overly futuristic scifi we had before. Will this be equally jaw-dropping? Time will tell.

This suggests that Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. may still be involved in the life of the Star Spangled Super Soldier – which doesn’t entirely disagree with the early days of the Captain America comic in the 1960s. Marvel Studios has yet to pick a director but New York Magazine has suggested that there is now a shortlist of The Adjustment Bureau’s George Nolfi, and brothers Anthony and Joseph Russo. The Russo’s are currently best known as executive producers and directors of the TV series Community. Their last directorial job was the haphazard You, Me, and Dupree. Here’s hoping they do a better job with Steve Rogers’ new life in the 21st century. The script for the next Captain America film is currently being handled by the screenwriters of The First Avenger, Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus. Filming has yet to start, but chances are it will occur after Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 wrap up.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in the UK in August 2012 and the film is to be released 15th November 2013.
Captain America 2
As for Captain America’s next film foray, very little is known, besides the slated release date of 4th April 2014. In a recent interview with SuperHeroHype, Kevin Feige said “’Captain America’ will be a pure Steve Rogers story, but have more in common with the backdrop of ‘Avengers.’”
