Terwijl het nog even wachten is op de DVD van Captain America: The First Avenger, druppelt ondertussen langzaam het nieuws binnen over het vervolg. Dit is te danken aan schrijversduo Christopher Markus en Stephen McFeely, die nu werd gevraagd of de film zich voornamelijk in tegenwoordige tijd zou afspelen of niet.
"I think it's safe for us to say that it's primarily set in the modern day," vertelt Markus. . "That seems to have been the biggest question people have been wondering about regarding the sequel... [W]e've been left with room to explore Cap entering the modern day wondering, 'What is all this? What's happened to the world' and so on."
"We made a movie where the world was in context for Steve Rogers," voegt McFeely toe. "It was a movie where it was a more pure time, where there were clearly black-and-white, right-and-wrong, good-and-evil scenarios. And Cap is a guy who symbolizes that. Now he's in the now, and there is nothing black-and-white. So what do you do with that guy? How does he react to a much more uncertain time? So you're given this huge new palate to work with, but you can keep him the same."
Het volgende Captain America optreden is in The Avengers, dat vanaf 3 mei 2012 in de bioscopen draait. Een precieze releasedatum voor Captain America 2 is nog niet geprikt, maar de film zal waarschijnlijk pas in 2014 uitkomen.
