Captain America 3 Movie News: Screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus have started talking about the Captain America 3 Movie, teasing what can be expected - and what not to expect in the upcoming flick.
A recent story that created a lot of buzz online was when Marvel Comics announced that Sam Wilson, AKA The Falcon, would be taking on the mantle of Captain America in a brand new comic series, which has left many people wondering if we might see the same thing in the movies.
When asked about if these changes would manifest in the film franchise, the writers had this to say, in an interview via SFX:
McFeely: We tend to stay on the sidelines when it comes to the comics. We wait and see what we'll steal from in three or four years from now! [laughs].
Marcus: I think the movies can accommodate almost anything, if there's a need. I think there is a much greater need to shake things up in the comics because that's a narrative that's been going on for 60 or 70 years, so you're going to wind up having to do things to it. Ours has only been off the ground for five or so. So it's not quite time to start changing things up yet. Plus I can't figure out how he's going to have the wings and the shield at the same time. Isn't it going to get all crammed up on the wing? I don't know... When those things happen in the comics you also have a tendency, perhaps cynically, to go "Yeah, but he's going to be Steve Rogers in two months..." He's going to wake up out of cryo-stasis or whatever it is and it's going to be like "Oh, I need the shield back". [laughs].
Mcfeely's comment about waiting three or four is appropriate as much of their creative freedom is dependent on talent's contract with Marvel Studios, with Chris Evans' contract as Captain America expires with the release of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.
Marcus also mentioned wanting to use super villain Modok in 'Winter Soldier', but it looks like he wont be appearing in the next film either:
"I want to put Modok into something, but you can't just drop a giant floating head in! It's not like 'Oh, we have to go talk to this guy - there's something I should tell you about him first,"
Captain America 3 is scheduled to release in May 2016.
