Things are falling into place for the pre-production of the upcoming film�First Avenger: Captain America.�

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are in negotiations to pen Marvel Studios’ “First Avenger: Captain America.” The dealmaking occurs about a week after Joe Johnston boarded the project as director.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing.�

Created in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon for Timely Comics, Captain America is the heroic alter ego of Steve Rogers, who is rejected by the Army for being too sickly and undergoes an experiment that takes him to the pinnacle of human form. Paired with an indestructible shield, he becomes a symbol of the war effort, fighting Nazis and villainous scientists like the Red Skull.�

I wonder how they are going to give him a modernized spin in the post 9-11 era. The writers have quite a task ahead of them.�
