Ed Brubaker Consulting on The First Avenger: Captain America

The Captain America: Reborn Writer is most likely going to be called upon to help Marvel bring us “The First Avenger: Captain America to the big screen.
Looks like Marvel made the move that makes the most sense. Ed Brubaker goes on to say:

“I've seen the preliminary stuff for the movie, a year or so ago before (Marvel) hired the new screenwriter and director,” Brubaker states. “I know Kevin Feige was talking about bringing me in when they put together the ‘Captain America’ brain trust for the movie, like they did for ‘Iron Man’ with Matt Fraction and (Brian) Bendis.”

Ed Brubaker the mastermind that is behind the Captain America: Reborn #1 story line that just hit shelves today mentioned that he has been involved with the movie early on in the filmmaking process, and that he is pretty sure Kevin will call upon him once again.

“I think the talk has been that I'll be part of that brain trust along with Bendis and a few other people,” states Ed.

Off course nothing is official yet, but with Brubaker's five year run on Captain America the writer is definitely the guy most likely to get the job.

LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 3:13 PM
I wanna know the villian is gonna be?
SHHH - 7/1/2009, 3:20 PM
Chuck Norris for Captain America!
SHHH - 7/1/2009, 3:23 PM
This is THE GREATEST news ever!! Brubaker is an amazing comic book writer (on Daredevil as well as Captain America) and after the brilliant storylines that he's written over the past 5 years, the news that he is onboard with this film gives a good chance that it going to be awesome!

LEE:'Team Lewis', yeah-keep dreaming. No way in hell are they gonna cast a guy from an Aero advert for a film about Marvel's most important character!
joshw24 - 7/1/2009, 3:28 PM
Does anyone remember watching the original cap fil and did you think it was good fior its time....wonder how these films will stand the test of time
marcolanni - 7/1/2009, 3:48 PM
That is smart. I love Brubaker's Daredevil.
longbowhunter - 7/1/2009, 3:51 PM
TACKLES SUXS TACKLE :lol

CHUCK NORRIS! :thumbs
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 3:56 PM
did someone actually reference that piece of dog ppuke captain america movie from the early 90's? seriously?
superdog - 7/1/2009, 4:15 PM
Which was worse? Captain America (1990) or Fantastic Four (1994 Roger Corman version)?
TucsonRican - 7/1/2009, 4:20 PM
I would say cap only because it was a legitimate attempt at a movie. It was released marketed etc...... Corman obviously was only rushed for the rights. So in that sense i would say cap is worse cause they actually tried and it still blew chunks.
superdog - 7/1/2009, 4:37 PM
@ superdog

lol
good logic, has anyone seen the old FF movie?? i haven't, i'm thinking of getting it at a convention or something, but then again i'd have to pay money for it...i'm sure it'll be a laugh though.

sorry, i'm new, don't hate me...who is this jensen ackles guy you guys want for cap??
CorndogBurglar - 7/1/2009, 4:48 PM
and if anyone other than the red skull is the villain i'll be pretty angry. i've wanted to see him on screen for a long time
CorndogBurglar - 7/1/2009, 4:49 PM
Welcome CorndogBurglar! Jensen Ackles is the star of the TV show 'Supernatural' (which you should definitely check out if you like that kind of supernatural stuff) and is a great actor who a lot of comic book fans want to play Cap! Head over to the features section of this site and you'll see a proper pic of him in a pole of who people want to play Cap he has just won! Some people like LEEE777 who dont know all that much about Captain America want a guy called Jason Lewis to be Cap-he has so far only starred in an Aero ad though!
joshw24 - 7/1/2009, 4:54 PM
Ive seen SUPERNATUAL, its crap!!! : D

How do i know nothing about CAP AMERICA????

There was TWENTY PPL in the vote JOSH wow!!!

LEWIS done real good! ; )

JOSH @ Check your facts, LEWIS has been in alot of stuff!

TACKLES has less chance of being CAP as TOM WELLING has of being SUPERMAN!

Anyways i saY freddy prinze jnr!!! ; D
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:02 PM
Oh yeah LEE, i forgot the maltesers ad and his stint as a gay character in Sex in the City! Wow, he really has experience of playing Cap-like roles huh? Ackles however does!
joshw24 - 7/1/2009, 5:04 PM
Why don't you get it over with an bum the dude! Heh heh ; D
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:05 PM
@ leee
oh god please no tom welling...actually i don't care enough about superman, i just want to see him get mad and whoop some ass

i can't even think of anyone i would want, so i guess i want a nobody. as long as they do good i couldn't care less
CorndogBurglar - 7/1/2009, 5:07 PM
@ Leee & Josh
Are you two going to be crushed if they don't choose who you want? sounds like you've really invested some part of your lives in this....
TucsonRican - 7/1/2009, 5:08 PM
Lol Corndog @ ; )

Tucson @ : D
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:08 PM
@ Josh
he does look the part. i dunno, its a tough role to cast
CorndogBurglar - 7/1/2009, 5:10 PM
CorndogBurglar: I agree! Marvel managed to fing a great chice for Iron Man and Thor so Im sure whether its Ackles or not they'll find someone decent (as long as its not a guy from an aero ad that is, lol!)

TusconRican: not really, lol! unlike LEE who is obsessed with Jason Lewis Im actually willing to admit that Marvel will probably be able to find a great Cap who may even be better than my choice Ackles!

LEE: Im not the one who keeps posting pics of Ackles kissing men and pics of Lewis with no shirt on...i hope your not married because your wife would probably be horrified to find all those images of half naked men you have stocked up on your hard drive!
joshw24 - 7/1/2009, 5:12 PM
Geez JOSH @ Give it a rest ffs!!! : D

Just admit LEWIS nearly beat ACKLES!!!

An if you kept the vote running until 2nite, (like you said you was going to) He would have! ; )

Peace.
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:16 PM
No shed probably be turned on and pick Jason Lewis for cap
superdog - 7/1/2009, 5:18 PM
superdog @ : D
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:19 PM
@LEEE777


do a poll with everyone and see who wins!
SHHH - 7/1/2009, 5:20 PM
LEE: sorry, but nearly wasnt quite enough now was it? And I never said that I would keep it running until tonight-i said a week but in your world a week is 8 days so im not going back over that with you! I think you need to give it a rest before you finally crack and kidnap Jason Lewis and make him wear the crotchless Cpatain America outfit you've made for him!


joshw24 - 7/1/2009, 5:24 PM
His take on hand to hand brawler type characters is gritty, grounded and very cool. This is very good news
DarthMulder - 7/1/2009, 5:24 PM
JOSH you said to me WEDNESDAY night hence 2nite! (YOU WAS WORRIED) ; D

Anyway dude, there was nothing in it, we both thrashed all the others!!!

Heyyyy ive got ACKLES for ransom! : D How much???

SHHH @ i would, but i dunno how to do it lol!
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:30 PM
Campaign drive to make chuck norris cap. america


1.Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine
as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.
2.Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
3.Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.
4.Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
5.If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow the f*ck down

SHHH - 7/1/2009, 5:32 PM
CHUCK NORRIS with NIC CAGE and FREDDIE PRINZE jnr!!! ; )
LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:34 PM

LEEE777 - 7/1/2009, 5:38 PM
Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he's never cried...
TucsonRican - 7/1/2009, 5:39 PM
When Chuck Norris does push ups, he isn't pushing himself up, he's pushing the planet down

He also clogs the toilet when he takes a piss
CorndogBurglar - 7/1/2009, 5:47 PM
Chuck Norris is suing NBC for their show Law & Order claiming it is the trademarked names of his left and right legs.

Chuck Norris was originally considered for the part of Jesus in the Passion of the Christ. However, the director realized that Chuck Norris cannot show the emotion of pain. He can only inflict it.

Some kids piss their names in the snow. Chuck Norris can piss his name in concrete.
SHHH - 7/1/2009, 5:52 PM
1.Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting implies the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing

2.Chuck Norris' beard is barbed wire soaked in ox blood and held together by the souls of mortals.

3.The original name of the movie was Alien vs Predator vs Chuck Norris, but the producers realized that nobody would ever watch a movie that only lasted fourteen seconds

4.Who would win the race between Ironman and Superman to the moon? chuck norris.

5.Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a f*cuking Indian.

6.Chuck Norris can beat Halo 3 on Legendary...with a guitar hero controller
SHHH - 7/1/2009, 6:05 PM

jimthefan - 7/1/2009, 7:30 PM
When Chuck Norris jumps in the water, he doesn't get wet...The water gets Chuck Norris'ed.

At night, the boogie man looks under his bed for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris doesn't read. He stares the book down until it gives him the information he wants.

there are no endangered species, only a small list of animals Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

JMS should take over astonishing xmen with djurdjevic doin the art...this book needs a boost
Anil Rickly - 7/1/2009, 9:33 PM
We all know Chuck Norris is immortal and can take out every villain in the Marvel Universe. The only reason he's not Captain America is because it just wouldn't be fair.
VenomIsOnMyRibs - 7/2/2009, 12:19 AM
Chuck Norris never sleeps...he waits

LEEEEE.........looks like you have another gay ginger beard diet coke drinking Lewis lover ther in superdog

BmanHall - 7/2/2009, 5:35 AM
Teabag...... i don't have a beard.....everything is pretty much right on though:)
superdog - 7/2/2009, 6:09 AM
Glad to hear that Brubaker will be involved in the Cap film. Brubaker's run on Cap has been absolutely brilliant (and Daredevil too, for that matter), and he's shown a profound love and understanding for the character and what he represents in the Marvel universe. This gives me a lot more hope that we'll see Cap get a movie worthy of him at last (no Italian Red Skull at least!)
comicb00kguy - 7/2/2009, 7:19 AM
Not you superdog......Lewis.........my god it me me me frddy prinze jr me me me lol ;)
teabag - 7/2/2009, 8:32 AM

Daniel blacklantern - 7/2/2009, 9:02 AM
oh yeah, and:

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

Chuck Norris does not get frostbite. Chuck Norris bites frost.

Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

TucsonRican - 7/2/2009, 9:02 AM
the real definition for the C.I.A is Chuck Is Angry

the only way to make the real super secret serum that was injected into steve rogers is to extract the blood from chuck norris
cbsmitty2 - 7/2/2009, 10:37 AM
LEEEEE i thought you would like FPJ .....he is in the same mold of Lewis....just slightly straighter
teabag - 7/2/2009, 11:07 AM
Chuck Norris only masturbates to pictures of Chuck Norris.

joshw24 - 7/2/2009, 4:16 PM

Brubaker took Captain America in a great direction if anybody could make a movie it is him.
