Further Thor, Captain America and Iron Man 2 details June 8th, 2009

Continuing on from the recent Kevin Feige revelations, First Showing have provided a second commentary of the event, which offers up some more details of these three movies.

Iron Man 2

In the first movie the film makers managed to get the tone just right, for the sequel they are looking to add characters and up the action whilst maintaining this tone – keeping the right sense of humour. Filming is half way through and the majority of the spoken parts are complete, the next six weeks shall be dedicated to action scenes!

Thor

There will be no Shakespearean dialogue in the Thor movie, despite its usage in the comics. Some scenes will take place in Asgard.

Captain America

The first avenger movie shall be a period piece, set predominantly during WWII. It is hoped that the movie can capture a feeling similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark, with the same levels of fun. Sidekick Bucky (wiki) will also make an appearance, in some capacity.

As for director Joe Johnston,

A little bit of The Rocketeer, lots of October Sky, and a little bit of the ship designs that Johnston did for Star Wars, alluding to how this is the perfect movie for him to direct. “It’s the movie his entire career has been leading towards.”

Captain America movie shall begin pre-production in October June 6th, 2009

Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige has revealed a few details about the upcoming Captain America movie adaptation via a recent Iron Man 2 set visit.

Pre-production shall officially begin this October, with full production set to start on June 28th 2010. It is likely to contain a number of international locations, rather than say, just New York or LA as the focus. With it, there will be a number of international actors. The storyline in the movie isn’t likely to follow the ‘Truth’ arc set out in the comics, but more likely in some far off sequel.

The topic of Will Smith was raised, Feige acknowledged his international status but didn’t directly comment on casting.
