We haven’t heard much from Marvel recently about The First Avenger: Captain America, which is still slated for release in July of 2011. What we do know, though, is that Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park III, The Wolfman) is directing and the screenplay is being written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (of all three Chronicles of Narnia movies). Fangoria (via ComingSoon) just published a teaser piece for their upcoming issue that has an interview with Joe Johnston talking about Wolfman. However, near the end of the article they drop a little tidbit about Johnston’s plans to start shooting Captain America in June.

Here’s the key quote: “… recalls Johnston, speaking from the art department of The First Avenger: Captain America, which he’s readying for a June start.” Marvel is preparing to start shooting Kenneth Branagh’s Thor in January (as reported here), which I’m sure will shoot at least until April. Then they’ll probably take a break to support Iron Man 2’s release in May before prepping a June start for Captain America. It’s great to hear that this is moving along smoothly, now we just need casting. Who will be playing Cap, that’s what I want to know! So which of Marvel’s 2011 movies are you more excited about – Thor or Captain America?
