From what I remember, the Cap movie DID fall through at one point, but I believe it was before Marvel was making the movies themselves. Since then, I believe the Cap movie is back and still in the making.

A genetically engineer all american supersoldier who symbolism all that is good about America- I don't want to get political but PUH-LEZE that would be like so not PC!
He works in the comics and would work as part of the team in an Avengers movie, but really how do you make him the the lead in a big budget mainstream movie and not make it cheesy?
As for Ant-man, well as a character concept he just isn't very sexy -yeah he can shrink to microscopic size, he fights nanovirues and he talks to ants woohoo!- even the planned movie is supposed to have 'comedic elements'.
As to Thor - its going to need a very good director to make it not be "Yeah lame Doctor with a walking stick discovers that he can turn into a big hunky viking barbarian god, his walking stick becomes a magical hammer and then he decides to fight crime!"

It would be difficult, but not impossible. The trick is to remember that Cap doesn't symbolize America per se, but rather he symbolizes the same things America is supposed to stand for. It's a subtle difference, but an important one.

It's possible to bring a modern Captain America story with today's political climate.
The film need to show his origin, a product of US-siezed Nazi German genetic engineering experiment. We needed to show his disappearance in the 40's, and later his re-emergence in 2000. There will be some cheesy comical moments as he tries to adapt to the new modern culture with all of the trappings ... so long the MP3 player is not an iPod.
Then we need to show that the Red Skull has ties to terrorist groups. Perhaps Osama is merely a pawn of the Red Skull's machination to put the world in peril and they rise above the battlefield to instill a new world order.

I think you nailed exactly how a Cap movie could be made to work...follow the disappearance. Cap being an alien, of sorts, is a big part of what makes him so dang appealing.Ranger REG said:

The more I see of promotional material for Iron Man, the more I wish I'd dragged myself downtown when they were shooting for a couple of weeks like I kept telling myself I would have.
Probably wouldn't have seen much, but it would have been cool to check it out anyway. Damn lazy ass mofo!

I think "man out of time" was the term he was looking for. And Cap certainly is one.Ranger REG said:Alien???

Also note my saying "of sorts", because, well...Cap IS an alien in the modern culture he wakes up in.
[sblock]Or maybe he really was an alien! CAP WAS A SKRULL![/sblock]
