I, recently, emailed Joe Quesada and requested a press release about Chris Evans and his "role" as Steve Rogers. Here is my email:
"Mr. Quesada, I know that you work with Kevin Feige and the guys over at
Marvel Studios on the films. You're bound to know whether or not Chris Evans
was REALLY cast as Steve Rogers. If you, actually, know: will you please do
a press release, or convince Kevin Feige to do one. Myself, and many more
fans((probably, even, Ed Brubaker)) are going crazy about it. Please, just
give people a "yes" or "no", if you know. I understand if you can't, but if
there is a possible way that you can give us some assurance, then please do.
See ya' in the funny books, Mr. Quesada
~Lance J. M."
Joe replied to me, a couple days later, with this:
"Lance:
We can't be responsible for rumors that people put out on the net and I'm sorry if you and others are feeling frustrated by that, but that's not Marvel's doing. So, as soon as we know who will be playing Cap, we'll let everyone else know, promise.
Best,
JQ"
Now, some of you may be thinking that he wouldn't know anyway, but Joe has been working very closely with Kevin Feige on the recent Marvel Studios films. I have emailed Kevin Feige before about other things, but he never replied. Joe has been the direct source to count on in situations like these...at least for me.
