More casting news from CBR….it appears major casting announcements will now be March 1st. Plus…..THE INVADERS?!?!. Are you serious? Hell Yeah!!!!

Thanks to press for "The Wolfman," we have a bevy of information on the film from director Joe Johnston. Latino Review and various other sites reported on a conference call in which Johnson mentioned the man who will play Cap will be an American, a complete unknown, and he will be cast by March 1st. "I hope it'll be somebody that we discover and has never been, has probably been in something, but you won't know who he is. You won't recognize him. And we'll surround him with more prominent names. That's who we're looking for. Will we find him? I don't know. It's tough," says Johnston. The director also spoke with The Los Angeles Times, explaining how Cap gets his costume and what it means in the story. "The costume is a flag, but the way we're getting around that is we have Steve Rogers forced into the USO circuit. After he's made into this super-soldier, they decide they can't send him into combat and risk him getting killed. He's the only one and they can't make more. So they say, 'You're going to be in this USO show' and they give him a flag suit. He can't wait to get out of it," he explained. Rodgers will come to find value in the costume, according to Johnston. The director told CHUD a six member Invaders team will "be in the entire second half" of the film. Finally, HitFix confirmed with Johnston that the Red Skull will be in the picture. "We will see the Captain America villain, the main villain, the Red Skull," said the director. I have to admit this is the Marvel movie I'm looking forward to the most. I love "The Rocketeer" and always hope for a period set comic book movie to be as good as Johnston's earlier work. To have him coming to "Captain America" as a mostly WWII period picture just seems like a winning combination of elements.
