It’s a big day for Marvel comic movie adaptations and writers!
While I was on hiatus, Joe Johnston was announced as the director of First Avenger: Captain America. Johnson directed another WWII-era superhero movie, The Rocketeer, and worked on art direction and character design on the Star Wars movies, so I’m optimimistic that he’ll be able to bring a little something extra to Cap.
Things are moving forward at a swift pace now - Variety reported last night that Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writing team for Chronicles of Narnia, will be writing the script for First Avenger.
Now I’ve never seen Chronicles, so I’m counting on you to tell me what you think - was Chronicles of Narnia any good? Do you think these guys can handle Cap?
Sound off, people!
