Joe Johnston has been bigging up his next movie during publicity duties for The Wolfman. Everybody knows he’s directing Marvel’s latest screen superhero flick, Captain America, but who will be cast as America’s greatest hero?

Well, Johnston gave Sci-fi Wire, this to chew over:

“We have a very short list, but we’re still juggling actors here. I’d say within the next couple of weeks we’ll have ourselves a Captain America, I hope.”

So who is on this “very short list?”

Nobody knows!

It’ll probably be some vapid t.v. teeny bopper they cast though, since this certain superhero is not going to be embraced worldwide.

As reported last week, the film begins during WW2 with Cpt. America kicking Nazi arse then moves to the present day.

Interestingly, the film is slated for a June start date…in England. Obviously, Captain America is not so keen on rescuing the American economy right now. So wait and see is the word on this. Johnston is a solid journeyman director who will deliver on nothing special, but nothing terrible either. Probably what the studio want for this title.
