Russo Brothers in Talks for "Captain America" Sequel

The Russo Brothers, Joe and Anthony, are in talks with Marvel Studios to direct the sequel to 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. The Captain America sequel, which remains untitled at this point, is slated to be released on April 4th 2014. The Russo brothers, who are from Cleveland, wrote and directed the 2002 crime comedy Welcome to Collinwood as well as the 2006 comedy feature You, Me, and Dupree.

The Russos also won an Emmy award for directing the pilot for Arrested Development, and are credited with developing the series’ idiosyncratic visual style. They are currently serving as executive producers (and sometime directors) for the ABC series Happy Endings and the NBC show Community.

Deadline reports that the brothers are already deep in negotiations with Marvel Studios for the Captain America sequel, but there has been no official announcement yet.
