Captain America to begin during WWII

I've never really read much of the Captain America comic books. Maybe it's because he is such a patriotic character for a country I'm not from is the reason why I have no real interest in him. Still, that doesn't mean I won't like the movie. Iron Man is another character I never really warmed up to in the comics, but I LOVED the film.

The director of The First Avenger: Captain America, Joe Johntson gave us a little update on the flick:

"We're in prep," Johnston says. "Rick Heinrichs is production-designing and we're set up down in Manhattan Beach [California]. It's the part of the process that I love the most," he enthuses. "We have eight or ten really talented artists, and we all just sit around all day and draw pictures and say, 'Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we could do this?' It's that phase of the production where money doesn't matter: ‘Let's put all the greatest stuff up on the wall and [then later] see what we can afford.'" The film, he says at this early stage, will begin "in 1942, 1943" during World War II. "The stuff in the ’60s and ’70s [comic books] we're sort of avoiding. We're going back to the ’40s, and then forward to what they're doing with Captain America now

It's going to be pretty neat seeing the character of Captain America dealing with Nazis and all that stuff, to flashing forward to now. It'll be interesting an character study to see how a man views the world of today compared to the 1940's.
