OK, that title might not be official. But word on Latino Review is that Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, the screenwriters of Captain America: The First Avenger, have already been hired to write a sequel — more than five months before the first Steve Rogers adventure hits the big screen. Of course, this is an unconfirmed report, and as any coffee shop full of disenchanted writers can tell you, just because you’re hired to write a script doesn’t mean it’s going to get made. But, if true, this is definitely a sign of confidence from Marvel Studios on the strength of The First Avenger, implying that they were just as excited over the Super Bowl spot as everyone else was — and, well, a sequel to any comic book movie should obviously be considered at least “probable” at this point.
Captain America: The First Avenger is out July 22.

i’m always looking forward more to the 2nd movie of any comic hero anyway; the exposition and explanations for the general public are out of the way, everyone already understands what the story/characters are, and you can get to the good stuff

I think, for these franchise or potential franchise movies, they should write them all as a trilogy anyway so that the larger story is already worked out and ties everything really nicely together, besides, something can always be tweaked in between production too, so why not just have the whole trilogy mapped out before hand?

As a former boy scout it never hurts to be prepared. But, I would wait until the box office numbers come in before considering a sequel.
I’m curious as to why Marvel is inundating us with Thor comics and not Cap. Maybe that will change in the coming months.

Well, if it tanks, you don’t make it!
Don’t worry, the Cap comics will be along very shortly…

I’m surprised there haven’t been more Cap comics lately. I mean, the movie is coming out like 2 months later than Thor, yet they’ve been pumping out the Thor comics for months already.

I am just hoping this stays true to the character. I feel from the look it already is gearing to miss the mark. But I will reserve my opinion until after I see it.
