Joe Johnston, the man behind blockbusters Jumanji, Jurassic Park III and the forthcoming Wolf Man, has signed on to direct First Avenger: Captain America. The release date is slated for 2011.
Along with the already released Iron Man and Incredible Hulk, Captain America will be part of a series of Marvel releases including Iron Man 2 and Thor leading up to the highly anticipated Avengers movie in 2011.
No word yet on casting for Cap, but personally, we're hoping the Matthew McConaughey rumors are false. Hard to imagine a shirtless Captain America...
