Director Joe Johnston made an appearance on the floor of the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday to sign teaser posters for Captain America: The First Avenger and I managed to slip in a few questions about the movie. Read on...

Brent Sprecher: How's filming coming along?

Joe Johnston: Ah, we just started, but it's going great.

Brent Sprecher: Awesome. Was it hard to get away to come over here to do [the Con]?

Joe Johnston: Well, you know, they gave the crew a four-day weekend...everybody else gets four days off and we only get one.

Brent Sprecher: Are we going to get to see The Invaders?

Joe Johnston: Oh, yeah!

Brent Sprecher: Namor. Is he going to have little wings on his feet?

Joe Johnston: Ah, no.

Brent Sprecher: I'm really happy you're doing this movie.

Joe Johnston: Thank you. Thanks a lot.

Damn, what's up with no wings Namor? That's like Cap with no shield or me not living in moms basement. Heh, Heh.

I could learn to live with it!

No offense to Namor lovers, but the wings on his feet were a little corny!

Namor's going to be in it, so that makes me plenty happy enough! I can deal with no wings for both characters. Not a make or break issue for me.

It's cool to have the Invaders but I think we comicbook fans will be mad with Captain America, I don't know why but i feel something will go wrong with it, any one else feel like this?

Horray for Namor being in the Captain america movie!


No reaction to the no wings. I personally dont give a good god damn.

well they could make namor go through some mutation around the foot LOL and the mutation will form a little something that looks like wings??? Namor is a mutant after all

@JerBear: Well, he doesn't specifically say that Namor is in the movie, so I didn't want to lead with a misleading headline. He admits The Invaders are in the movie, and Namor was an Invader, so...

Going by a literal reading of the quote, Namor may not even be in the movie. Could be. "Ah, no." could mean, "no wings." Or it could mean"no Namor" Or it could mean, "STFU fanboy, here's your freakin poster and quit asking me annoying questions...."

I never like Namors wing anyway.

@wade- I'd go for someone with more of a swimmer's body.

Winged Namor feet is not a big deal for me. I always felt sorry for the guy when they drew him wearing boots.

@Bubba- You might be right, but if they're doing the Cosmic Cube, Namor isn't far beyond that realm of fantasy.

i like josh hartnett for namor! :)

DANIEL DAE KIM FOR NAMOR!



If the robot human torch is in the movie..uhh it'd be confusing to the audience cuz CHRIS EVANS WAS Freakin Johnny Storm!
chris915
chris915 - 7/25/2010, 7:56 PM
WAIT!! A minute!!

So Johnston practically confirmed Namor is in the movie!

If he wasnt in the film he would say that he isnt and not answer the questions about the wings on his feet.
FistsOfJustice
FistsOfJustice - 7/25/2010, 7:57 PM
What relief!!! Kick the wings to the curb!!!

I've been a HUGE Namor fan for ever and a day and I've never liked those damn little tweety bird feathers poppin out of his ankles.

Hell, as much as I love greek mythos, I cant stand to even see Hermes "Air Jordan Sandles".

Chris @ True that!!!


Wade @ Ok bro, enough jokes. lol
