Terwijl we momenteel vooral nog nagenieten van de bioscooprelease van Captain America: The First Avenger, en ons stiekem alvast verheugen op de release op dvd en blu-ray, wordt er bij de producenten al druk nagedacht over het vervolg.
Schrijvers Christopher Markus en Stephen McFeely hebben al wel concrete plannen voor Captain America 2. Ze laten weten dat de sequel zich vooral in het heden van Marvels universum zal afspelen. Markus vertelde:
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… [W]e’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.McFeely voegde daar nog aan toe dat deel twee wellicht meer in zal gaan op de reacties van Captain America op de moderne, meer onzekere tijden:
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.Captain America: The First Avenger verschijnt 4 januari 2012 op dvd en blu-ray.
