The First Avenger: Captain America to film in June

I was starting to wonder when we were going to get news about The First Avenger: Captain America. Well it seems that it is out of deveolpment and on course to be released in summer 2011.

ScreenCrave says:

In the middle of an interview with the director, an interesting piece of info was picked up regarding the film’s time line.

“By the time I got on a plane and arrived, it was three,” recalls Johnston, speaking from the art department of THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA, which he’s readying for a June start. “But at that point, what kind of difference can a week make?”

Since Johnston is dealing with the pre-production details of the film, it’s safe to say it’s out of the development stage.

This is exciting indeed. We have Iron Man 2 around the corner, news flowing like rivers about Thor, and Captain America is still slated for a summer 2011 release! And that means that Avengers is right on its heels!

Now casting news is sure to come for Cap himself. I still think Matthew McConaughey could do it, but won’t be surprised if Sam Worthington gets it.

That Hansel… he’s so hot right now.
