This another one of those where we’ve pretty much blown our load in the title, but as Marvel lets out little snippets like this in anticipation of The Avengers, such is life.
So yes, mark your calendar for April 4th, 2014 … Captain America 2 will hit the big screen almost exactly two years from today.
Like Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, Captain’s sequel will pick up where The Avengers leaves off and will tell a modern story of Captain getting further acquainted with the modern world and saving our collective asses. While there might be some kind of flashback component, we’ve been previously assured that this won’t be a period piece. Of course, the arc the writers mentioned in that interview also seems to be one partly driving The Avengers, so we’ll have to see how they make that man-out-of-time conflict fresh for a second time.
There’s still no director for the film, though apparently the list has grown shorter and weirder. I’d expect that decision to be made before The Avengers is released, as that will be worth another blog cycle for Marvel. Same likely goes for long awaited Ant-Man news.

Not sure what other Marvel properties are slated to have films in 2014, but that could be the first year in nearly a decade where there ISN’T a Marvel movie opening in May, and only the third since 2002.
Also, Cap 2 needs Winter Soldier.
That seems like an odd date. I know the trends have been moving away from the seasonal model dominating all and that at this point we’ve had big moneymakers in months that used to be considered “dumping grounds” but either Marvel’s looking to make this an “off season hit” or anticipating that with the continuing escalation of the “summer movie season starts here!” wars, that by 2014 the first weekend of April will be viewed as the “summer movie season starting.”
May vee haff duh FALCON een eet, plitty pliz??
I’m still waiting for news about the rumored Daredevil film, or am I the only one.
I too am looking forward to a new Daredevil, but haven’t heard much about it in quite a while. Fox is a on a pretty good tear with their re-launches/re-boots/prequels/whatever with the Planet of the Apes, X-Men, and Alien franchises, so maybe Elektra being so awful and unsuccessful was a blessing in disguise for the future of Daredevil.
Hope this one is better than the first! (which won’t be that difficult)
Eventually Summer Movie Season will begin January 2nd
