In an interview with IMDB Tv Blog about season 3 of Justified, Neal McDonough reveals a few tasty details on the Captain America sequel and that solo Nick Fury flick we had heard was on the cards. He says as soon as Thor 2 has wrapped up it will be straight on to Cap, and that he is really looking forward to Nick Fury for the chance to act alongside his friend Samuel L. Jackson..
Q: I understand you're going to reprise your CAPTAIN AMERICA role.
McDonough: Yeah, they’re planning (to go into production for) for the end of this year, because Marvel does one film at a time. So they’re going to do THOR 2 and as soon as THOR has wrapped, they’ll do CAP 2. Hopefully right after that, we’ll jump into NICK FURY because that’s the one I’m looking forward to more than anything.
Q: Why is that?
McDonough: Because it’ll be me and Sam Jackson. In the real Marvel universe, Dum Dum Dugan is Nick Fury’s right hand man…And I just pray that they have a 1970s setting, because I want to see Sam Jackson with lambchops kicking people’s asses for Marvel universe. It would just be awesome. And to work with Sam would be a treat. We’ve become friendly over the years.
Q: It sounds like you were a fan of the comic beforehand.
McDonough: Absolutely. I’m very well aware of the Marvel universe, and to be part of it is such a blessing. To go back to London and shoot there for four months, that was just a great year.
Plans change frequently with these type of things but if McDonough is correct I guess we have three Marvel movies shooting this year. Sequels to both
Thor and
Captain America as well as
Iron Man 3. I guess Marvel are dead set on their 3 movies a year plan, but where does that leave long gestating projects like
Ant-Man, Dr Strange etc? We know these type of films will have much smaller budgets, is it possible they may squeeze one of them in too? I wouldn't put it past em!
