Captain America Reviews, Interviews & More

As superhero films and comic book adaptations continue their dominion over the domestic and international box office, we’re hit with a daily deluge of news items about the latest in comic book movie news.  To help make sense of it all, we’ve broken down some of the day’s bigger superhero news items into bite-sized bits for you.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is already anchored by a pretty solid series of stars, as far as sequels go: Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson will all co-star.  But following the runaway success of The Avengers, it seems like nothing is ever too much for Marvel—as it now appears that screen legend Robert Redford is in talks to...

Big news today, gang—the actress who will likely portray the obligatory love interest/ thankless girlfriend role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier has been revealed!  Here’s hoping there are a lot of Revenge fans out there.

While not quite as anticipated as The Avengers 2 or Iron Man 3 (or even Thor: The Dark World) because, let’s face it, the character is incredibly goofy, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is building up quite a head of steam in the lead up to its April 14, 2014 release date.  Just last week, rumors swirled about a possible villain for the film;...

While the current superhero movie news cycle is being overtaken with all things Iron Man 3, a rumor concerning the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Winter Soldier, is quietly making the rounds.   It involves a primary villain for the film, and who might play him.

Guardians of the Galaxy—a 31st Century group of superheroes that protect the Milky Way galaxy within the Marvel comics universe—appears to be the newest big Marvel property that will be hitting the big screen.  What’s more, the film will apparently take place within the same continuity of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers, and will act as a...

Yesterday, we reported to you that Sony’s in-development Venom spinoff will likely take place in the same fictional universe as the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man, with random crossovers and cameos, a la The Avengers with Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and Captain America.  Now, it was leaked today that, originally, The Avengers was set to feature a Spider-Man crossover…...

Earlier this week, we reported that Warner Bros. has is responding to the success of Marvel’s The Avengers by gearing up for their own superhero supergroup film: DC’s Justice League.   Word has already trickled out that the team-up film will be “dark and mature,” a la Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy; now it seems that Warner Bros. is set to take a page from the...

Here’s some interesting news—one the post-Avengers Marvel films slated to hit your eyes in 2014 is the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger.  That’s not a surprise; the likely directors, however, is the kicker: brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, previously know for directing episodes of Community, as well as the 2002...

Between such works as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse, Joss Whedon is known for featuring strong female characters in his TV shows and films.  And while The Avengers did have Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow kicking ass and helping to save the world, the film was still a festival of testosterone between Thor, Iron Man,...

We get it, The Avengers—people like you.  People like you a lot.  But $1 billion in global box office receipts in 19 days?  Now you’re just showing off, Tony Stark-style.  Turns out people really, really want to see four superheroes (plus one athletic super-spy and one pointless dude with a bow and arrow) beat the hell out of New York City.

After The Avengers hit us with a massive $207 million opening weekend (grossing a worldwide $700 million), it should be no surprise that Disney/Marvel has officially announced the obvious; a sequel is on the way.  Of course, we already knew a sequel would be on the way (Marvel rarely stops at just one, and its stars are all signed to multi-film contracts); this is...

If the box office is any indication (and it is), a lot of you enjoyed The Avengers this weekend.  And even though the record-breaking superhero film is already 2.5 hours long, fans are already clamoring for more.  While it’s a bit early for sequel news, director Joss Whedon is promising a three-hour director’s cut of The Avengers with 30 minutes of new...

Not that it’s any surprise, but in case you were curious, The Avengers took in nearly $20 million from midnight showings on Thursday night, entering a pantheon of memorable blockbuster films that set records for their midnight-premiere screenings: The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.

We’re just under two weeks until the official release of The Avengers, one of the most anticipated films of 2012.  The Joss Whedon-directed superhero film features such Marvel hotshots as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up to defend Earth from the threat posed by Thor’s villainous brother, Loki.  And in a new clip from the film, you can...

Well, in case you were hoping to avoid any potential spoilers about who would survive the ending of the upcoming Avengers film, Marvel and Disney went ahead and spoiled that somewhat by announcing today that the sequel to 2011’s Captain America will be seeing the First Avenger return to the big screen on April 4, 2014.

Marvel is going forward with sequels to their 2011 Superhero slate, and though it took a while to nail down the Thor 2 director, it finally looks like Game of Thrones's Alan Taylor is helming that one. But Captain America 2 has yet to find its director, and today four names were mentioned:...

After dropping an official poster on us on Tuesday, today Marvel has unloaded their newest The Avengers trailer, chock full of Robert Downey Jr-isms, dramatic music, more Hulk, more villains, and thankfully, very little of Cap America’s silly, decidedly un-cinematic uniform.  Check out the full trailer below!

Last month, we showed you five new pictures from The Avengers, featuring stars Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, and Scarlet Johansson looking at things very, very dramatically.   They didn’t really indicate much in the way of plot (beyond the fact that the Avengers are going to, you know, assemble at some point), but hey, we...

This weekend James Franco and Andy Serkis hope to defeat Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds for the top slot at the box office. If Bateman and Reynolds look familiar it's because they've both top-lined movies earlier this summer. And they star in The Change Up with Olivia Wilde, who just appeared in Cowboys and Aliens....
