“Captain America” gets director
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Joe Johnston has signed a deal to direct “The First Avenger: Captain America” set for a 2011 release.
Johnston previously directed “The Rocketeer” and “Jurassic Park III,” and was the art director – visual effects on “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
“Captain America” is planned to be a World War II-era film, with the character also appearing in “The Avengers,” planned to be a modern-era piece. In the comics, Captain America was frozen in a block of ice near the end of World War II before being revived by the Avengers many years later.

And “Jumanji”. Let’s not forget that one.
Actually, I liked JP3 a lot. Way better than the second one. So… who knows. He wasn’t the first person on my mind… or the second… or the third… But he makes a good, actiony movie.
The real question is, who’s directing Avengers?
