Kevin Feige Confirms CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Is A Political Thriller

Variety recently caught up with Marvel movie head Kevin Feige to talk a little bit about his schedule, and working to get Phase Two off the ground. He was also asked about the whether or not he thought the superhero movie was just a fad. He said he didn't believe that the genre is a fad, because each one is so different. He then compared the first Captain America movie to the next one, which is about to start shooting. "Our first Captain America film was a World War II picture, and the next is a political thriller. They all have their own textures and patinas, and that's what is exciting about it," Feige explained.

A number of actors have been confirmed to join Cap in his next solo adventure. Anthony Mackie and Emily VanCamp are the new comers to the Marvel world. They will be joined by vets Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson. Haley Atwell will also be a part of the movie, but will only be a cameo/flashback. The film will start filming sometime in April, and is slated for an April 4, 2014 release date.

I have a feeling the Winter Soldier will be plotting to the President and Shield and Cap are tasked with keeping the President safe and trying to stop Bucky before he goes through with it.

Joe Johnston, a director known for making old-school action films, gets to make an old-school action movie like Captain America.

The Russo brothers, who directed that god-awful comedy You, Me, and Dupree, get to craft a political thriller with The Winter Soldier.

Wait, what?

@CaptainObvious...well Jon Favreau directed only Elf and Zathura...and he brought Iron Man...
Kenneth Branagh wasn't used to direct CBMs but it did a fair work IMO

Then they took someone expert with action movies, but that usually only write movies, and then..the Mandarin popped out...
So, i'm betting a lot on the Russo bros. because if someone that directed a romantic comedy can impress positively marvel with a cap movie idea, then it should be original ;)

Concern with The Russo Bros comes from ignorance. Jus sayin.

I have complete faith in Marvel and the Russo Bros. just from Community alone, that's a show for geeks made by geeks. Unlike that shit show The Big Bang theory, which is a show written by ass holes that think that's how nerds and geeks are.

People also don't like Cap because he doesn't have Super Super powers, but that's why he's the greatest character. He doesn't need that shit to command a god and tame a beast.

Big Bang Theory is a terrible representation of Nerds. [frick] that show.

Anybody doubting the Russo Brothers needs to watch Community, and the way they balance a big cast with some of the best writing available.

Also watch Welcome to Collinwood. Another great ensemble movie, just ask Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy, and Mr. George Clooney.

@FrankieDedo- Expect Favreau had several good movies under his belt. The Russo brothers only directed You, Me, and Dupree. I take it not many people here have seen that movie.

So film with a good story is a WB comic book film monopoly? Huh, by whose logic is that? From time immemorial film exists to bring good story, and it doesn't start by WB comic book films.

I think it's more like WB is trying to copy Marvel by attempting Justice League movie when it should delay making it for two decades when you have already collected pension money bound to a wheelchair like typical old DC geezers.

@LEVITIKUZ

Spider-Man 2 and the first two X-Men films already had 'story over action' before any (modern) Batman film.

And I'm someone who likes Nolan more than any Marvel film, but you talk like if The Dark Knight Saga' (or DC) invented a trope which is as old as the genre itself. Lol.

TFA wasn't a WW2 picture, it was my biggest complaint about the movie. And now you're (Feige) gonna tell me Winter Soldier is a polotical thriller written by two comedy hacks? ok lol

@LEVITIKUZ Considering in Thor and iron man 2 there is about 2-3 action scenes in each movie and they make up about 15-20 mins of them and they are both roughly around 2 hours. So how are they action over story?

wonder if they will make captain america actually look credible because he looks no stronger than widow or hawkeye, there was only 1 supersoldier in phase 1 and his name was emile blonsky, looked far more impressive than captain america when fighting and taking on the hulk, one on one
