In other news, two employees of Head First offices, in Manchester, have tweets that give of the impression that the studio crew could be filming a scene involving Samuel L. Jackson's Director of SHIELD, Nick Fury.
DCMF: From the casting call, I'm awkwardly impressed how well Marvel & Joe Johnston wants to make the period-piece believable, as they should.
Anyhow, Chris Evans leads an extraordinary cast including Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Haley Atwell, Stanley Tucci, Sebastian Stan, Neal McDonough, Dominic Cooper, and plenty more to come.
And under Joe Johnston direction, the film hits theaters July 22, 2011.
