IESB got to ask Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige some questions about the upcoming (in 2011!) Captain America movie.

The biggest news is probably that the film will take place during WWII, possibly ending with Cap getting frozen, allowing on of the early scenes in the Avengers movie featuring Cap’s rediscovery?

Here, I’ll let them tell it:

IESB asked Feige if the Captain America film would be a period piece. He confirmed yes, the story will take place during World War II, just like the comic book origin story. He says they plan to remain very faithful to the source material and completely traditional.Feige also confirmed that it was definitely the Captain America shield that was seen in IRON MAN on Tony Stark’s work-station as he’s removing his suit for the first time. It’s just an Easter Egg and probably won’t have anything to do with the Capt. America story.

What about that casting rumor making its way around the web that Matthew McConaughey would be taking on the role? Nope, Feige says that’s absolutely false.

Nothing against Matthew McConaughey, but I’m very glad he won’t be playing Steve Rogers.
