The Chronicles of Captain America

“Chronicles of Narnia” scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have been hired to pen Marvel’s “Captain America : The First Avenger”.

Er. Um. Well. Yeah. So am I in the minority when I respond to this news with an unenthusiastic ‘really’? Marvel couldn’t have found anyone better to pen what’s supposed to be a balls-out superhero pic? And will the shield talk?

Maybe it’s just that I’m not a fan of the “Narnia” movies – in fact, I find them rather dull – but still, I just don’t know that these guys are right for the job. Justin Theroux too busy?

The Hollywood Reporter has the full story.

May The Schwartz Be With You X-Men!
