Marvel and Disney announce Captain America 2 for 2014

By Scott Younker April 5, 2012

Considering that both Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 have already been announced, it should come as no surprise that Captain America: The First Avenger will be getting a sequel.

According to Walt Disney Studios, the second Captain America film will be released on April 4, 2014. Apparently, the second installment will pick-up after the events in Marvel’s The Avengers. Steve Rogers will continue his struggles in the modern world, while dealing with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

So far we can only confirm that Chris Evans will be returning as Rogers, and that Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (writers of Captain America: The First Avengers) are going to write the screenplay. No director has been attached, but we wouldn’t mind seeing Joe Johnston get behind the camera again–although rumor has him involved with next year’s Jurassic Park IV first.

10 best movie superhero costumes, ranked

Iron Man in "Avengers: Infinity War."

A big part of a superhero's appeal is their costume. Whether they're brimming with color or dark as night, these super-suits help convey to their audience the kind of hero they'll see wearing them.

While some comic book movies have taken liberties in creating realistic costumes, many times, the heroes rock outfits that look exactly like what they wore in the source material. Out of the many costumes seen on film, these ten have reached the height of superhero fashion.

Tom Hiddleston slips through time in Loki season 2 trailer

Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston stand in front of a desk in Loki season 2.

Tom Hiddleston is being pulled through time in the season 2 trailer for Marvel Studios’ Loki, and if what he witnessed was true, "There is nothing that stands between this world and utter destruction."

Hiddleston returns for season 2 as Loki, the god of mischief recruited to work for the Time Variance Authority (TVA) to monitor and fix the timeline. In the season 1 finale, the timeline was thrown into complete disarray after Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) stabs He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), leading to the creation of the multiverse.

Disney shifts release dates for Marvel movies, Star Wars films, and Avatar sequels

The writers' strike has lasted about one-and-a-half months so far, and it doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon. And now, Disney is making some major schedule changes to almost all of its upcoming franchise films. Avatar fans are going to feel it the most. Avatar 3 has been pushed back a year from December 2024 to December 19, 2025. The other sequels, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, have been delayed to December 21, 2029, and December 19, 2031, respectively. That's a three-year delay for both titles from their previous release dates.

Marvel's 2024 slate is also getting a big shake-up, with Captain America: Brave New World moving away from its summer opening slot on May 3, 2024, to July 26, 2024. The Thunderbolts movie is shifting from July 26, 2024, to December 20, 2024, the former release date for Avatar 3. That will make it only the second MCU movie to be released in December after Spider-Man: No Way Home.
