Anthony And Joe Russo Directing ‘Captain America 3’
Captain America: The Winter Soldierwon’t open for another several weeks, and aCaptain America 3hasn’t even been greenlit. Nevertheless, as the Winter Soldier release approaches, Marvel Studios is feeling confident enough that they’re getting the plans in place for the patriotic hero’s next solo outing.
A new report indicates thatAnthonyandJoe Russowill return to direct the third installment, and that the pair are already working on the story. Hit the jump for more details.
For Marvel, the benefit of getting the Russos back on board early is that they can jump right on developing the next film. Indeed, the brothers are said to be working with the studio right now to figure out the story outline already. However, no screenwriter is attached at this time.
Chris Evansis expected to return in the title role, withKevin Feigeproducing. Other actors are likely to return, as many of them are optioned for mutliple films, but none are officially confirmed — remember, this is a project that doesn’t even have a green light.
Aside fromCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, the Russos have previously directedYou, Me and Dupree,Welcome to Collinwood, and episodes ofCommunityandHappy Endings. The pair won an Emmy in 2004 for directing the pilot episode ofArrested Development.
No release date has been announced forCaptain America 3. Marvel does have 2016 and 2017 dates locked in for three as-yet-untitled projects, though, soCaptain America 3seems likely to take one of those slots.
