Back in January it was revealed that Marvel Studios was sufficiently impressed by their work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier to give Community veterans Anthony and Joe Russo the go ahead to start development on a third solo outing for Chris Evans’ Man Out of Time, and now Collider has got a few comments from the directing duo during a promotional interview for the upcoming sequel.
“Well now that Kevin [Feige] said it that means we can talk about it, I guess,” states Joe Russo. “That’s great. We’re just in the formative stages of it right now. We just started breaking story with [screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely] and we’re just getting an idea of what we wanna do with it. It’s crazy working on it before the movie even comes out because you want to see what people respond to in the film. You want to get some inspiration from what people like about the film so you go, ‘Okay, this is what we gotta lean into in the next movie’ or ‘this is what we should move away from, this didn’t work so well.’ So we’re just in that phase of breaking story but waiting to see how people respond to the movie.”
As yet, Captain America 3 is without a release date, although you’d have to assume that it and Thor 3 will feature alongside Ant-Man as part of Marvel’s Phase Three. 2017 would seem like a good bet…
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is set for release on March 26th in the UK and April 4th in North America, with returning Marvel stars Chris Evans (Captain America) Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier), Samuel L.
