Marvel Readying Captain America


In an ongoing effort to bring every comic book character to the movies, Marvel has granted the rights to Captain America.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has confirmed the company's next independently financed project will be a new version of "Captain America" reports Sci-Fi Wire.

Mixing a period story with a contemporary one, the PG-13 superhero film is currently being penned by David Self ("Road to Perdition") with a director to be announced shortly.

"We'll have to play with Captain America as being a patriotic propoganda machine on one hand but also being a very human Steve Rogers.

I'm curious to see how they play with his character as to not offend anyone with American views (being Politically Correct an all).

Shooting begins this time next year.
