Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says:

"I think we'll certainly have to play with that and play with Captain America being this patriotic propaganda machine on one hand but also be a very human Steve Rogers, interesting, fascinating hero in his own right.”

"The script, the director that we end up hiring, certainly we're going into it with our eyes open but these are all things we have to deal with, much the same way that Captain America when thawed from the arctic ice entered a world he didn't recognize and had to deal with the changes, whether it was when Stan [Lee] did it in the early '60s and that world Steve Rogers was coming into, or the world of 2009."

When asked about whether the movie would be the period Rogers or a modern day Rogers, Feige replied, "Right now what we're developing would be about half and half I'd say."

Sounds about right. As a fan it will be weird to lose 40 years of Cap History by having him thawed out in 2009, but I will keep my fingers crossed.

The movie will be separate from the comic--much like Spider-man is.  The villains will be the same and the character will have overall similarities, but the timeline will be different and it will be presented in a modern setting. 

I can't wait.  I would love to see the Serpent Society in one of the sequels!

In the script that I wrote (not that anyone cares, it's just stupid fanboy stuff) I handled the origin through a series of flashbacks, but the story started with him being found  in a block of ice.

You know, the very idea that would refer to Cap as a "patriotic propaganda machine" shows how far we've come. Uuugh. "Patriotic Propaganda machines" pose for pictures with the USO and hang out with Bob Hope. "Super Soldiers" on the other hand go out and punch Hitler in the jaw.

Well the idea of the "patriotic propaganda machine" idea is that most of the world would see "Captain America" as such a thing, regardless of the time period.  Propaganda isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just isn't an objective thing.  It's like advertising.  It puts forth all that's good about something. 

Hopefully they'll address the issue of Cap being created for two purposes--good P.R. and a super soldier.  His second task will outweigh the first.

Anyone watch "Flags of our Fathers?" It'd be interesting to see Steve Rogers struggle with the same types of propaganda issues. 'Nuff said.

Half period piece. Half modern day America - a place struggling to fight TERRORISM!

I did indeed see Flags of Our Fathers. Great movie. The Indian guy stuck in my mind. It was sad how he ended up. I saw that same actor play on Shooter with Mark Wahlberg recently.

I read that twice. I think it's very good.
