THOR & CAPTAIN AMERICA sequels confirmed, CAPTAIN 2 takes place in modern day

Kevin Feige confrimed sequels for Thor and Captain America in a recent article in D23 Magazine. This is a very exciting time for Marvel superhero fans. This year we hav Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger coming out, then The Avengers, then Iron Man 3. We first learned about Marvel's plans when Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus were hired as screenwriters. The screenwriters later mentioned the possibility of the Captain America sequel taking place during WWII or during present day, but no confirmation was given until now.

Here is what Feige had to say about the films in production:

"X-Men was the dawn of the new Marvel cinematic age. Iron Man was the dawn of the Marvel Studios age and the establishment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the beginning of that continuity. The Avengers is the next big step. Once all these characters come together, it's the culmination of all that has come before. It launches a new era and a new time in the history of our films. Not only will it be the first film that our new home studio, Disney, will be distributing, but it will also renew each of these characters and launch them into their own franchises, starting with the second film to be released by Disney, Iron Man 3." 

"Thor will go off into a new adventure, and Captain America will continue to explore the modern world in another film of his own. We hope that holds true for the characters appearing in that film — Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the spy organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. —all of whom are more than worthy and capable of carrying their own films.

And, we’ve got a lot of other characters we’re prepping and getting ready for film debuts: the world of martial arts, these great cosmic space fantasies, Dr. Strange, and the magic side of the Marvel Universe. There are many, many stories to be mined."

The best part of the news is that we finally have confirmation that Captain America 2 is a modern day story. The Thor sequel news is really nothing new, but still is cool as far as I am concerned. Earlier we reported that a Dr. Strange film was in the works, and now it looks like we have more confirmation of that.
