Even as the casting for the title role in the comic book pic "The First Avenger: Captain America" heats up, the rumor is out there that director Joe Johnston may not be calling action on the filmCHUD is citing an article at The Moving Image that claims Marvel is delaying the start of filming because they want to replace Johnson due to the poor box office of The Wolfman remake
Marvel has since contacted CHUD's Devin to issue a statement about the rumors:
"I just heard back from some folks at Marvel... they categorically, up and down, completely and without hesitation deny that there is any delay on The First Avenger: Captain America or that the production is any trouble. Everything is moving forward right now, they tell me."
Casting is moving ahead--contender Mike Vogel, (pictured) confirmed on Friday to HitFix that that he was in the running.but that he was “trying not to jinx” the possibility of playing the Captains--adding that it was a “great opportunity.”
Wolffman may not be going over all that well but I find this canning rumor a bit suspect...And even if there were issues going on--Marvel would deny anything was wrong as casting ramps up anyway.
