Scifiwire.com talked to The First Avenger: Captain America director, Joe Johnston, about starting production on our Star Spangled Avenger’s (good) feature film debut. Here’s what he had to say:
“We need to cast it soon,” Johnston said. “We have a very short list, but we’re still juggling actors here. I’d say within the next couple of weeks we’ll have ourselves a Captain America, I hope.”
As for who will actually play Cap, Johnston either ain’t saying or can’t yet say. Rumored actors include everyone from Will Smith to Aaron Eckhart to John Barrowman.
As for when the movie will shoot? Johnston said the movier is still “fairly early” in preproduction. Shooting won’t start until the end of June, he said, “but we’re getting ready to go to the U.K., it looks like.”
Hopefully we will be getting news of who will be playing Cap in the coming weeks (more likely months)! Personally, I’m excited to get more details.
The First Avenger: Captain America is currently scheduled for a July 22, 2011 release.
