| 'Captain America' |
Curious as to what decade
Captain America will be in after
The Avengers? Well, it's looking like
Captain America 2 will be staying put -- in the present.
We talked a little bit before about the
boundaries you’re stuck with in regards to the greater Marvel Movie
Universe. You guys have been tapped for the sequel already, so here’s
the obvious question: What’s in store for Captain America down the road?
SM – I think it’s safe
for us to say that it’s primarily set in the modern day. That seems to
have been the biggest question people have been wondering about
regarding the sequel. Most people know the story of Captain America as
the story of this man out of time, and because The Avengers is such a
big movie, and because [Avengers director] Joss Whedon has so many
moving pieces, we’ve been left with room to explore Cap entering the
modern day wondering, “What is all this? What’s happened to the world”
and so on.
CM – We made a movie where the world was in context for Steve Rogers.
It was a movie where it was a more pure time, where there were clearly
black-and-white, right-and-wrong, good-and-evil scenarios. And Cap is a
guy who symbolizes that. Now he’s in the now, and there is nothing
black-and-white. So what do you do with that guy? How does he react to a
much more uncertain time? So you’re given this huge new palate to work
with, but you can keep him the same.
And that’s the fun
of getting to do a sequel. Captain America, Steve Rogers, he’s pretty
firmly established. Now we can take him through some different places.
Thanks to
Moviehole for the scoop.
