'Captain America' Will Knock Your Socks Off

Is it really much of a news flash that the Editor-In-Chief of Marvel Comics thinks that the "Captain America" script is fantastic? Apparently it is or else I wouldn't be reporting on it. Joe Quesada was the guest of honor at the Big Apple Comic-Con and hosted a question and answer panel along with Wizard Magazine's Casey Seijas. Among other Marvel related topics such as "Spider-Man 4" Quesada almost had a geek attack when he mentioned the upcoming "Captain America".

"I've seen a couple of outlines and an initial screenplay, and it's going to rock everyone's socks off," he said. "It's very unexpected, the kind of movie it is." Quesada added that "Captain America" sets up "The Avengers" in "a fantastic way" and also mentioned that there is an undisclosed wish list of actors to play the star-spangled superhero.

Am I the only one who is seeing through the star studded shield here? "Captain America" comes out two months after "Thor" yet it seems like there is no movement whatsoever. "Thor" has a continually expanding cast and a start date. "Captain America" was buried in the ice if you look closely at a deleted scene from "Hulk" and Tony Stark might have had the Captain's shield proudly displayed on his work bench.

Captain America may or may not be in theaters July 22, 2011.
