Will Captain America be 3D?

 

Iron Man 2 just opened this weekend to the tune of 133 million domestic at the box office. Some people are now arguing it could have topped the The Dark Knight' record of 158 million, had it been released in 3D, although I doubt it.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige admitted he and his team had considered converting the superhero sequel into 3-D after seeing the success of "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland." Given the extensive demands of post-production on "Iron Man 2," however, they concluded there simply wasn't enough time. "We couldn't have turned over a version of the movie 10 or 20 weeks earlier for 3-D conversion without undermining the quality," he said. "We used all the time we had for mixing and editing and discovering the right tone."

In regards to Marvel using the current hollywood trend of 3D in the future, Feige said "The team has been doing a lot of research into 3-D processes, and we're looking at it on future films when we have the time," he said. "We will be doing it at some point."

With Thor already in production, it would have to be converted to 3D in post, but Captain America and The Avengers could be filmed using 3D cameras. If I had to guess, I'd say Avengers is the more likely of the two to get the 3D treatment.

I hope this isn't the case. 3D is so played out.

for cap I don't see it, but for The Avengers if done right I think it could really work, and be very cool
