Looks like Marvel made the move that makes the most sense. Ed Brubaker goes on to say:
“I've seen the preliminary stuff for the movie, a year or so ago before (Marvel) hired the new screenwriter and director,” Brubaker states. “I know Kevin Feige was talking about bringing me in when they put together the ‘Captain America’ brain trust for the movie, like they did for ‘Iron Man’ with Matt Fraction and (Brian) Bendis.”
Ed Brubaker the mastermind that is behind the Captain America: Reborn #1 story line that just hit shelves today mentioned that he has been involved with the movie early on in the filmmaking process, and that he is pretty sure Kevin will call upon him once again.
“I think the talk has been that I'll be part of that brain trust along with Bendis and a few other people,” states Ed.
Off course nothing is official yet, but with Brubaker's five year run on Captain America the writer is definitely the guy most likely to get the job.
