Director Joe Johnston sat down with BoxOffice Magazine to talk about his upcoming remake of The Wolfman, but talked a little bit about tackling The First Avengers, Captain America.

“It’s not going to be a Captain America that you expect. It’s something different. It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction. It’s the origin story of Captain America. It’s mostly period—there are modern, present-day bookends on it—but it’s basically the story of how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America. The great thing about Captain America is he’s a super hero without any super powers. Which is why this story, among the hundreds of super hero stories, appealed to me the most. He can’t fly, he can’t see through walls, he can’t do any of that stuff. He’s an every man who’s been given this amazing gift of transformation into the perfect specimen—the pinnacle of human perfection. How does that affect him? What does that mean for him emotionally and psychologically?”

Stuart Townsend has been replaced as one of The Warriors Three in Thor.  He was reportedly fired after showing up to a screen test six hours late.  That sounds like it’ll do it.  He has been replaced by unknown actor Joshua Dallas, who was last seen in The Descent: Part 2.  This isn’t the first time this has happened to Townsend as he was famously replaced by Viggo Mortensen in the after just a few days into the shooting of The Lord of The Rings Trilogy.  In related news, Thor starts shooting today!  Hopefully we’ll see some images coming our way soon.

So along with the Iron Man 2 trailer today we got some more news on the upcoming Thor movie. It appears as though actress Rene Russo has signed on to play Frigga, Thor and Loki’s mother, Odin’s wife and the Queen of Asgard. So what do you think of this casting decision? I like Rene Russo, I think she’s a pretty good actress so I don’t really see any problem with this, but we’ll have to see.
